Teri Polo Instagram – Because of you, I am a better woman. Because of you, I am a better mother. Because of you, I am still here. Because of you, my daughter is still alive.
Your love for me, and everyone around you, made you the sun around which we all orbited.
Your smile. Your laugh.
Your “Fuck them!”
Sharing with me your darkest day, even though we barely knew each other. I just cried with you and hugged. You said you appreciated the lack of empty platitudes.
When I cried, “I don’t want to be alone”, you said “you’ll never be alone. You have us”.
Laughed when he said we “don’t know if it’s a penis or a China”.
You were in the room when she was born, gave her her first bath.
You let me come over every day until I was healed.
Some of the happiest days of my life…sunbathing, the kids playing in the pool, hot dogs and hamburgers and beer and music. I want to go back to those days and stay forever.
Allowing me to feel like part of your family.
Allowing our divorce, and then forgiving me, because you “knew I’d be back”.
Teaching me how to be a daughter’s mother. Giving me the “you’re fucked” when it came to menopause.
Never judging me or giving up on me when I pulled away because I finally found myself and stopped depending on you so damn much.
Allowing my selfishness and saying “I know” when I admitted I was crying for myself, when I told you it was important to ME to tell you what you meant to me. Don’t know how long I’ll feel like I can’t do this without you. I know you would just laugh and say “You can”.
Today, thank you is more important than I love you.
Although my love for you will always be endless…
The sister I never had.
Forever our BeeBee.
Brigid Becker
Forever my friend…
