32

Yesterday I turned 32.

4 children. 13 years of marriage. Many jobs, only 1 career. Losses, and gains.

I moved out of my parent's house at 16. But that doesn't mean I stopped needing a mom, or parents for that matter. For 16 years when I blew out birthday candles on my cake I wished for a mother to be in my life to give me love. Yesterday that wish finally came true.
I have a woman in my life that I met through work, who has been an incredible mentor, who has given me wisdom and love when I needed it most. She spent the day with me and my kids yesterday.

So, 32....
