I just want to say how thankful I am for my Mom. Biologically she isn't my mother, but that's the only way in which she isn't. She raised me, loved me, took me in when she and my dad got married (I was flower girl in the wedding!

) and has NEVER EVER EVER said I was her stepdaughter. She is my best friend, I can tell her anything, and do on a daily basis! Thank goodness for unlimited long distance!
If ever God blesses me with a husband and children, I hope to be even a teeny bit of the mother that she is. I love her so much and thank God every day for bringing her into my life.
