Hey, Mama

Yesterday was Mother's Day.

 I love this holiday. I love the idea of setting aside an entire day just for the special women who raised you.

Unfortunately because of the distance and my work schedule, I was unable to actually be with my mom yesterday.

But she is, always has been and always will be the most amazing woman I know.

She's beautiful from head to toe and has taught me so much.

I hope dearly that one day I can be as strong a person as she is.

I love you mama.

But Mother's day, for me, celebrates a lot of people.

I am lucky enough to have two incredible grandmothers (and grandfather's!) who helped raise me, too.

I also have a wonderful step mother.

I am also close with my boyfriend's family, and his mother is someone I've grown very close to.

These people deserve recognition and love as well.

I would not be the person I am today without any of them.

So thank you, family.

I love you very much, and appreciate you all more than you could know.
