You gave me the affection I needed and the fun I so desperately wanted. Even if you were more lenient with my academic performance, you were more demanding of my psychological and emotional success, that is, the health of my mental state and of my perceptions of the world. Thank you for pushing me to become self-sufficient (to a certain extent) and for encouraging me to push myself and become more efficient and able. You were, and are, just as stern and severe as my father, but in different realms, and you consistently pushed me back down to earth when I was in the clouds or brought me down to zero when I was at one-hundred. Thank you for teaching me stabilization and the importance of having a sturdy and immovable foundation in the most trying of situations and spaces, as it is invaluable to me now and will be in the future -especially since the future, as we both know, is absolutely random and unforeseeable as being adaptable and flexible yet stern will be what keeps me
