You are my biggest inspiration and my sense of motivation and I wouldn't be who I am without your hand to guide me through all these years. You taught me everything that I know and you've helped me through all of the new challenges thrown my way. Do you remember when we sat on the steps by the door upstairs and stared at the moon? It felt like closure for both of us and it's one of my favorite memories. Do you remember running away to the beach for ****** pina coladas and to sit in the sand for stolen lunch breaks? I'll never forget stuffing your trunk with bags of clothes with that secret smile and knowing that I won't tell if you won't. I've never had more comfort than knowing I had you beside me during my worst moments, even an entire country apart. When the time comes, I hope I can be half the mother that you are to me.
Title is a quote my mom said about me five years ago today that still cracks me up. Some things never change, like my undying love for her. 02/13/2019.
