She knows me well

Day 02 – A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest.


This distinction has to go to a women who did not give birth to me, a women who embraced me with open arms and made me her own.  She is a woman whom I have said hurtful things to and many bitter words and yet she still loves me.  This woman has seen me on my best days, my worst days, and the days that I couldn't even find myself.  She makes me feel smart, loved, strong, brave, creative, and beautiful.  She has taught me what it means to be a mother and what it means to be a wife.  She has dried tears, caused giggles, and knows more about me than even I know.  I don't tell this woman often enough how very special she is to me and just how lost I would be without her.  I thank God often that I have her around still to talk to nearly every day.  We often don't see eye to eye, but that doesn't stop us from sharing our lives with each other.  This woman is more than just a friend, this woman is my mother.
