Home

Life gave me two homes: one where my heart is and one where my mom is. For the first time in a long time I really want to go home to my mom...where she can make me soup with too many carrots in it and paint my bedroom pink to her heart`s content.

Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
To My Mother Who Was Always There To Paint My Bedrooms Pink

• my mom and i have this weird voice that we talk to each other in and we've been doing it for so long that we can barely remember when it started. It comes out most often when we talk on the phone or go out shopping together (hahaha tess me)
