this is madison, my sister dori's baby.....
one day i'll give birth to a tiny baby girl and when she's born she'll scream and i'll make sure she never stops, i will kiss her before she lays down and i will tell her stories so she knows what it means to survive, i will teach her that she is the greatest work of art, tell her to light things on fire and keep them burning, teach her that the fire will not consume her, that she can take it and use it, i will tell her to try anything, to love, fight, and play with anyone, to do her best work when it rains, ill teach her to reinvent herself, to develop all parts of herself, courageous and smart and daydreaming, ill teach her about the army inside of her that can save her life, ill make sure she carries a pen. i'll teach her that it is better to regret the things she has done instead of the things she hasn't, that few people should know her nickname, ill make her understand she is worth more with her clothes on and her mind open, ill teach her to be whole, to be holy, to be be so much that she doesn't need me, ill make her stronger than me. ill teach her to move quickly and never look back.
i don't think dori really knows how much i look up to her. she is a person you know you're lucky to know, imagine how i feel being her sister...she has a page, here's a link
