I Am Who I Am Because Of The Women Who've Raised Me

Now, this is honestly about a quarter of the women who have contributed to my life, growth, and development. However, this is as many of them that I could get in a single photo!
My entire life has been blessed with kind, loving, selfless, compassionate women who have been amazing examples of womanhood AND motherhood. From birth, I have known what it means to love and be loved. I have never had to question if I am loved and cared for. I have never not had a beautiful, powerful mother figure's arms to run into.
Love and caring are always a front door or phone call away. Support is always available. A crying shoulder, warm hug, and homecooked meal are constantly available.
The gratitude I have for the women in my life is nearly heart bursting. When I think of the women I am blessed with, I sit in wonder, awe, and astonishment. I never underestimate the gift that I have. I will never underappreciate the endless supply of love available. I will forever express how grateful I am for all that I have.
I am who I am because of who they have been for me. I am who I am because of who WOMEN are. From my tribe to my role models to best friends and fans, we are women all the same. 
Endless THANK YOUS to every single woman in my life.
You are a gift. 
Thank you for honoring the call. 
Thank you for being the gift that you are
Happy Mother's Day to you and yours
❤
