day 7 - someone who has made your life worth living for

My best friend, my confidant. The person who spoils me rotten. She'd do anything for me and I'd do anything for her. She knows me inside out. I know her every deep dark secret. She knows my every flaw. We're like the Gilmore Girls, but I would dare say that our relationship is better than theirs.
My mom.


She went through 23 hours of labor giving birth to me 20 years ago (Thursday, to be precise) and she won't let me forget it.
She has put me through the most hell that I've ever had.
We had the best times I've ever had.
We've laughed til we almost peed our pants.
She and I stuck together through all the crap.


(listen to the song here.)

You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.
When all the others turn their backs and walk away,
You can count on me to stay.

Remember when the circus came to town,
And you were frightened by the clown?
Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew,
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for you?

You and me against the world,
Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.
And for all the times we've cried, I always felt that
God was on our side.

And when one of us is gone,
And one of us is left to carry on,
Then remembering will have to do.
Our memories alone will get us through.
Think about the days of me and you,
Of you and me against the world.

Life can be circus,
They underpay and overwork us.
Though we seldom get our due,
And when each day is through,
I bring my tired body home
And look around for you.

You and me against the world,
It feels like you and me against the world.
And for all the times we've cried,
I've always felt that God was on our side.
And when one of us is gone,
And one is left alone to carry on,
Then remembering will have to do.
Memories alone will get us through.
Think about the days of me and you,
You and me against the world.

I love you, Mommy Giraffe.
