Mother’s Day Post.

Oh, and Mother’s Day post!
Without going into too much detail, things have never been good growing up in my house. So I want to say Happy Mother’s Day, not to my biological mother, but to all those who have inspired me and have been that motherly figure for me over the years?

To all those who have given me guidance, to all those who have continued to support me day in and day out, who have given me the courage to be who I am today, who have always given me their endless love… I owe you my everything.

My best friends, Paige, Megan, Anna, Heather, and Amanda, and special mention to Lynn who has had such an impact on shaping me into the man I am today. To Courtney Oesterling: I have not forgotten about all those times you were able to help me and be my mother with things my own mother could not. To new friends at work that are helping me to become a better person personally and professionally, and continue to provide that growth.

To Traci Carpenter, who has been the mother I’ve always wanted but never had.

And most importantly, to Pa. Who is my greatest inspiration and greatest impact on who I’ve become, and from whom I’ve learned so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for sticking around. Here’s to many more years of growth, guidance, support, empathy, and love.
