Vi

There's this woman....and I love her. I've known her for over a decade and she has made an incredible impact on my life. Who is this woman, you ask? Haha... I have to laugh because there are so many ways I could describe her to you. Well, she's the one that wears the keys on her jeans. She's the one that wears cardigans every day. She's the one who makes you smile with a warm breaky or with a fresh baked batch of cookies. She's the one who asks what you have in your hands before you walk out the door. She's the one who tells of the secret lives of the ghosts that exist in her environment. She's the one that has been devoted to each and every one of us. She's the one who has made the best meals of your life.( literally you walk through the door and the smells of the evening meal consume you)  She's the one who always says "Ummm. hummm." to a question in a million different tones. ( which usually means a million different responses) She's the one who thinks a bat you have found may be a pesky squirrel she's been hunting for weeks. She's the one who can single-handedly make the best Thanksgiving dinner you've ever wanted... She's the heart of our family... and has been for years. This is a tribute to her.. to what she means to me, to my siblings, to my children, to my parents...and to quite frankly all who have ever known her.  She will always mean more to me than she may ever know. And her name? It's Vi...and I simply will always... love her.
