You know what?

People amaze me. They really do. This post goes out to my Other Mother, my Freshman Year English Teacher, my Writing Club teacher, and one of my best friends, Lisa Midkiff. This lady has basically gone through hell and back, and she's one of the strongest people I've ever met in my life. We can talk about anything and everything together, and to be honest it'd make my day if we had a lunch date. I love that she feels open enough to talk about the details of her life with her students, and then have the few of us that really love her read her blog like it's the greatest novel ever. So Mother, this is for you. For showing me that it's okay to open up to people, and that sometimes our methods of coping aren't always the best for us. For being you and only you. I love you.

You're the best.

Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise, Mother.
