This Mother’s Day, if I could make one request, it would be this: one of my childhood friends, a girl who peppers most of the happiest memories of my youth, needs something, I’d like to help deliver it to her.We fell out of touch as people do, and then reconnected through Facebook.

About Me Tags: 

Friendly, silly, smart ass, loving, devoted, dedicated, hopelessly romantic + optimistic, foul mouthed, dogged, lively, energetic, direct, chatty, morning-person...less annoying than these tags make me sound.
