As a child I never understood, the missing link between us. I tried to get your attention, but I never seemed to do enough. The only attention I could gain, was anger that caused my emotional pain. I wanted only to be closer to you, to feel that unique and special bond. Now that I am older, I'm beginning to understand. As I grew I learned, I learned from and about you. How to read your emotions, how to make you smile. How to be stronger, and how I wanted to be as an adult. I can't even begin to explain, the numerous things I've learned from you. But I can say that it's helped me, helped me learn how to love you for you. I learned that we are similar, in so many different ways. But today I still walk in your shadow, reaching out for your hand. I keep hoping that someday, I'll be able to stand beside you. That I can make you proud of me, that I can strengthen our bond. Distance has made us closer, and closer and closer we grow. I can only grow to love you more, and increase my desire to be like you. I want to be like you, as smart, dedicated, and strong. I want to be as helpful and compassionate, Mom, I want to be like you.
