Poems for My Family: Mom

Without a doubt, the most meaningful relationship in my life.

In both times of scarcity and abundance…

In both times of celebration and calamity…

In both times of loss and produce,

You have been an unflinching rock.

 

Your presence and support have been like a north star.

Lost, you found me.

Broken, you repaired me.

Unsure, you supported me.

You have been more compass than person.

 

Your impact will reverberate long after your story is written.

Lessons meant to last.

Legacy like a river.

Love that we all deserve.

Without a doubt, the most meaningful relationship in my life.

 

Be good to each other,

 Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
