SECRETS THAT WE KEEP

Dedication

For Lydia, who’s keeping track.

I know I’m supposed to be the role model in this relationship, but more often than not, I find myself wishing I was more like you. You’re such a sweet and compassionate soul. So organized, smart, and responsible. You keep the whole household in line with your charts and timelines. You’re the type to fix someone else’s crown without telling the world it was ever crooked, and you get my quirky sense of humor like no one else. (Thank you for laughing at my jokes, by the way.) If I were ever to reach my full potential, I could only hope I was just like you. With love, your mama.
