learning.

learning to be a better sister

learning how to listen to them, love them in a way that leads them to respond

learning every detail of a Star Wars movie or a tap dance move

And you know what?  I want to know about those things.

learning to be a better daughter.

learning that sometimes, the best thing to do, is the thing you don't want to do.

learning what it takes to raise a family and care for a home.

And you know what?  I can't wait to be a mom.

learning to be a better friend.

learning that phonecalls have to be made, and dates have to be set.

learning to listen, and care, and feel.

And you know what?  I don't do that often enough.

learning to be a better child.

learning that He wants to hear from me, He wants to know my feelings.

learning that it's hard to be the girl He wants me to be.

learning that I have what it takes to be that girl.

And you know what?  So do you.
