I Would Die...

I Would Die... to wake up in my amazingly comfortable bed in my gorgeous room to the smell of sizzling bacon and the sound of my sister's beautiful voice.
I Would Die... for my mom's french toast cake with bacon, strawberries and cantaloupe, followed by a hot shower, professional hair products, Moroccan Oil and my massive collection of make-up.
I Would Die... to go visit Dr. Paula, the greatest and most sorely missed chiropractor ever.
I Would Die... to sit on my patio in early summer with a massive salad, chips and fresh homemade salsa, playing Joke'R'Rummy with my family, listening to All Summer Long, and singing I Say a Little Prayer for You. 
I Would Die... for a manicure/pedicure, chatting with my favorite hairstylists/estheticians, the smell of cleanliness, hairspray, shampoo, familiarity.  I would even be stoked to run into old clients. 
I Would Die... to go shopping on Richmond street, buy a new dress, cardigan, necklace, headband and shoes.
I Would Die... to spend the night at Demetri's, laughing till not only my sides hurt, but my face and abs and even chest and lungs hurt, making fun of Mady's 'ice cream slip', then racing home in my Dad's standard jetta.
I Would Die... to cook a five star, four course dinner with my Dad followed by a night of hockey, football or Jack Bauer.
I Would Die... for a High School Musical 3 dance off, which basically means a Jen and Mady showcase, and a Brittany massacre.  
I Would Die... for a giggly snuggle fest, couch wars, falling asleep in any number of beds and laying on the floor in the sliver of sunlight pouring in through the window.
I Would Die... to sit in the counseling chair and watch my Mom's limited computer ability.
I Would Die... for my favorite books and the fireplace, the couch outside and the heat lamp.
I Would Die... for my piano and my sister's voice combined.
I Would Die... for my Mom's funny little arm, step dance then my Dad's attempt at intervention, and the step-a-step-a.  
I Would Die... for Comfort and Familiarity.
I Would Die... for complete understanding of each other's personalities, how to interact and relate.
I Would Die... for late night talks full of vulnerability and absolutely no thought of judgement.
I Would Die... for a lifetime of togetherness and experiences of every shape and colour, whilst continuing in encouragement and support.
I Would Die... for easy laughter, where mistakes are made without condemnation and guilt, where forgiveness flows freely and pride is forgotten because of the safety and security of the environment.
I Would Die... to live and learn through each other, no holding back, only trust because we've earned it.
I Would Die... for Simplicity.
I Would Die... for healthy bodies.
I Would Die... for for knowledge and understanding in what is to come.
I Would Die... for Christians to realize that, often, we are the problem because of falseness and judgment. 
I Would Die... for strength and Peace.  
I Would Die... for daily revelations from God for me and my sissy's.  
I Would Die... for my Grandma to live cancer free and fully understand the greatness and power of God's love. 
I Would Die... for the gifts inside my sister's to be shaken till their passions for justice and love explode on the world.
I Would Die... for an unshakable touch of God in all the lives of my family members. 

I Would Die... for Love, Strength and Wisdom
