I would say I have been the closest to my Mama, Kimberly Best, over the span on my life. Not only because she brought me into this world in the first place, but because she has seen me in all the stages of my life.. from crying when Mallory went to her first day of Kindergarten to crying when my boyfriend at the time in 9th grade broke my heart- she's been there. From worrying when I hid in the clothes rack at a department store for a while and scaring the pee out of her to her catching me doing some bad things in middle school, she has been there and never left my side. From watching me take my first steps to watching out onto the soccer field then watching me watch across the stage at graduation, she has been there. For all the times I gave her grief to all the times I almost made her (and myself) laugh until we cried (for example, when she continues to keep dropping the SAME potato salad container about five times because she was too stubborn to try and fit it in another spot in the fridge which is ALWAYS too packed!), she has been there. Sometimes people feel the need to constantly verbalize how they feel about each other.. or they feel a constant need to try and prove there feelings to one another but with us- that is unnecessary. I believe we both know how important we are to one another, and I know for a fact I would probably shrivel up under a rock if she wasn't here. I love you Mama and this is for you!
