{Mom}

My closest friend, my smartest teacher, my loudest cheerleader and my inspiration to be a better person.

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

- Washington Irving

Mama, I love you! You'll never know how much I truly appreciate you, and I don't think I'll ever be able to find the words to to really thank you for all you've done. Sending all my love from Phoenix.

She rules.
