Dear Mommy -
Before I go to sleep, I want to thank you for instilling your ability to accept, in me. By watching you interact with others, I learned to love instead of judge. In the 25 years that I knew you, I can only think of one time you judged someoneby their actions; that one time was silly, but it sticks out in my head because it was such an anomaly. You’ve given me the wisdom to always remain neutral, no matter what someone tells me about themselves. To appreciate that they decided to confide in me because they know I will not judge.
Everyone used to confide in you. Coworkers. Children. My friends. Family. Strangers. So easy to talk to. Always made things better. A pregnancy at 16 was a blessing. A DUI a lesson learned. And getting fired from a job, an opportunity for you to compliment that person until they were red in the face from all of their blushing.
I really like that about myself…the ability to be honest without judging, and without being fake. It’s a trait that not many have. And it’s all you.
I love you, I miss you, forever, my love.
Always yours,
Your baby girl

Two years ago today, I accompanied a boy I’d been dating for weeks to his Military Ball in West Virginia. It was the first time I’d been on a trip with a boy - just he and I- but in no way did I feel anxious. He didn’t know, but I’d already fallen head over heels the first time we kissed. I’ll never forget the moment when, at that Military ball, he gulped the rest of his Chardonnay and said “I am so in love with you. I think we should make this official.” Swoon. I was over the moon, and I still am.
We’ve been through a lot…long distances…my panic attacks…annoying ex drama…a move to DC…. deployments in conjunction with my mother’s death…new additions to our family in the form of dogs…surgery and recovery …the list goes on. Boy, we could tell you stories.
But, we’ve also never been happier. And though it’s only been two years, we’ve determined that we are unbreakable. In twenty years, I’ll be able to boast the same thing. Because, like a fine wine, we only get better with time.
Happy Anniversary, Love.
Currently missing you all back home. Local Legends don’t mean a thing unless you’re in the South Bay. In fact, they don’t roll elsewhere the way we do. (Taken with instagram)
