a belated mother's day post

mom,

thank you for loving me. thank you for caring for me. thank you for making me go to church. thank you for playing with me. thank you for holding me. thank you for reading to me. thank you for always letting me sleep in your bed. thank you for protecting me. thank you for working hard for me. thank you for supporting me.






but most importantly, thank you for sending me off to school on picture day looking like this, and then actually buying prints to document my rare beauty.


a true lesson in humility.

mom, i thank you.
