The Things About You Both

1. You made us breakfast every morning from the first day of kindergarten to the last day of high school.
2. You chose to take crazy teens to Europe on your vacation time. Not once, but several times!
3. Every scar and hard time belongs to you because you got us through it.
4. The large educational accomplishments are 30% yours and 70% mine because you make me value it the way you do.
5. Your feelings don't get hurt when I ask you to stop rubbing my hand but keep holding it.
6. You were never asked, forced, or bribed into your role, you took it upon yourself and I feel so lucky.
7. I have your smile, eyes, hair, and boobs. I see you every time I look into the mirror.
8. I have your curiosity, tenacity, need for seclusion, discovery, and odd talent of making everything into a jingle.
9. You put my needs and aspirations before your own for years. I don't know selflessness like you do.
10. You are my best friend.
11. You taught us how to love our sisters.
12. You taught us to appreciate what we have, but strive for more.
13. We know independence because of you
14. If shit hits the fan, I call you and you will help me calm down and fix it. No questions asked.
15. When It comes down to it, I can't imagine my life without you two. I am completely certain if it wasn't for your constant devotion, getting in my business, and love, I would be a failure. My life is a testament to you, my life is yours. 

Happy Mother's Day to the best Mothers one could have.

This was the best Mother's Day gift I could ever hope for. You guys are my life. I am honestly glad I never gave birth to children because they would have distracted me from the full enjoyment of knowing and loving you & M all these years. I wouldn't trade what we have for anything. You are the best daughters ever. And you are my best friend too.

Tay that's a beautiful tribute. I'm sure your mom and aunt appreciated it very very much. They are very lucky to have a daughter like you!

Taylor..I love being your mom. Its the best job I've ever had and I'm so thankful that I don't have to retire from this job at any age. You and Morgan and my happy place. All I need to do is think of you guys and all is well.

You too, have helped me mold into the better person I am today. You girls are my treasures in life.
