"Love me the way I am"

"all the strength and the will, all the vigor and fight, when I stand on that stage watch my spirit take flight"
“But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life’s blood, Lorelai Gilmore. My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.”

This is completely amazing. So happy for this kid and that now he gets to experience something as simple and profound as his mom speaking to him.
