We sat by the fire together. One of my favorite things to do with my mother is just talk. Doesn’t matter where we talk or what about. I find comfort in hearing her voice and knowing she’s there. We talked about everything and nothing all at once and while I don’t remember the context of this particular conversation – I remember one thing my mother said that to this day sticks out like a beacon.

Love is a choice you make every day.

Oh, mom. WHY must you be so awesome and wonderful always?!

I sometimes wonder what I’ll be like at her age. Will I be as selfless and giving as she is? Will I have a glow to me that shines in every thing that I do? Will I have the most amazing long, silver hair that gives MY kids hair envy!?

I can only hope so.

My mom taught me optimism and the power behind choice. I am so thankful for her.

Are you new here? Awesome! Welcome!  I’m Caitlin – currently obsessed with Birthday Cake Oreos and the wonderful life I lead. Below is my mom I speak so highly of and my nephew, Noah. He lights up our life.

I’m really happy you’re here. Get cozy and stay for a while and if you’re feeling wild, drop me a line. I love chatting with new people!
