This is the most accurate picture of my mom I could find - half-heartedly smiling to appease whoever was behind the camera, big hair, dark eye makeup, a plate of food, and a Dr. Pepper in hand. My mom, Sandie, was a special kind of mom. The kind of mom that adopted this brown hair, brown-eyed, tan little girl to be her own at the early age of 3. (terrible 3’s might I add) The kind of mom that befriended my biological mom who was still trying to figure life out herself. The kind of mom that fostered my two sisters during the same time.
9 years too long
Beautiful words
I’m so proud of you Tricia! Love you!
