My Inspiration

We started this 28 years ago. I knew that you were going to be my best friend and my inspiration. I think back when you were learning how to walk, you wanted to do it yourself, no one to teach you. I marveled at your persistence and your need to always do things yourself, on your own terms. I held your hand from daycare through college. You are now a talented artist and you encouraged me to finally become a writer. It has been my pleasure being your mother as you have given me the greatest joy in my life.  You are still my best friend and my inspiration.
