You always, always celebrated my little milestones and achievements. Even more importantly, you reminded me to be kind to myself when the tide was against me. You emboldened me to test boundaries, to verge on the outrageous, to express myself. With you, I never felt self-conscious. Your love is an attentive, reassuring and gentle love.
