because of course it is

I am working on the acknowledgments part of my thesis right now, and saw the header I had set up for a "dedication", and realised that I hadn't put any thought to whom I might dedicate the writing of this book to.... and then it hit me, and I wrote this:

I dedicate this work to my mother, Norma Jean Dart, who was so proud of me for enrolling in this program, and who would have happily read every word of this thesis, had she not been taken from us, far too soon. Thank you for raising me with a love of learning, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to pursue my dreams.

now I might be crying

or perhaps my face is just coincidently wet and my nose, which was clear 30 seconds before I started typing, just randomly clogged up...
