One of you is my beloved sister and hopefully comrade-in-arms, as devoted to her angel as I am to my sons, till we celebrate our well-earned retirement twenty years hence.
One of you is a childhood classmate and kindred spirit who, after many roads, detours, trials, and DIY decisions, I rediscovered happy and happily in friendship and laughter here.
One of you deserves more than everything she's received, having worked so hard and dedicatedly for her three children and herself, and still embodying what's best in mothers and friends.
One of you shares my earliest classroom memories, having grown up just up the street from me, having moved far away though not in my heart and memory.
One of you remains one of the coolest girls I ever admired and engenders in me great gratitude and gladness for the stunning professional and model woman she is to that lucky bunch of boys, her husband and sons.
One of you is the first of three Muses on this humble list, as a musician whose own dedication to the art is as inspiring as the encouragement she continues to offer me in my own arts.
One of you is my actual sister, though to leave her description at that would be as tacky as calling Chanel a seamstress - she's as devoted an aunt to my boys as any true mother would be.
