For Becky (Jelly Bean)

I love the way you faithfully read my blog.
I promise to faithfully update it more.

I love the way my friends get excited for you the way I do.
I promise to allow them to love you like I do.

I love the way you bring me coffee when I stay at your place.
I promise to cut down on the sugar and cream.

I love the way you and Paul are with each other.
I promise to refuse anything less.

I love the way you love Duncan (and this other Beating Heart).
I promise to love them too.

I love the way you laugh hysterically at my dumb ass stories.
I promise to always create those moments for us.

I love the way you take a bite of my cheeseburger every time.
I promise to never become a vegetarian.

I love the way you let me transition without resenting me.
I promise to always let you do the same.

I love the way you love God. Because I know you do.
I promise to always give you room to express that.

I love you Jelly Bean. My sister. My friend.
