how about all of those school field trips she went on with me and my classes&#8230; or the auditions and jobs she drove me to when I was a kid.\u00a0 There were the themed bday parties and sleepovers she let me have.\u00a0 Or the &#8216;gopher teeth&#8217; face (see below) she would make when my little sis and I would make her angry.\u00a0 Even when the answer was &#8216;no&#8217; I later appreciated why.\u00a0 The late night phone calls she spent up with me during college &#8211; I never felt rushed to get off of the phone.\u00a0 She helped shape me.\u00a0 We are very similar and also very different.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the love that binds us, but the friendship that keeps us so close.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very thankful for my Mother, my Friend.<\/p>\n<p>I love you Mom and even though we are miles apart today because you are in Europe enjoying a very well deserved trip to Belgium, we anxiously await your return so we can celebrate with you.\u00a0 Always, Sarah<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7286\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/2012\/05\/13\/my-mother-my-friend\/2012-05-13_005\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7286\" title=\"2012-05-13_005\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_005.jpg\" alt=\"2012-05-13_005\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_005.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_005-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7287\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/2012\/05\/13\/my-mother-my-friend\/2012-05-13_006\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7287\" title=\"2012-05-13_006\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_006.jpg\" alt=\"2012-05-13_006\" width=\"750\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_006.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_006-300x146.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-7288\" href=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/2012\/05\/13\/my-mother-my-friend\/2012-05-13_007\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7288\" title=\"2012-05-13_007\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_007.jpg\" alt=\"2012-05-13_007\" width=\"750\" height=\"1010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_007.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.spottswoodphotography.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/2012-05-13_007-222x300.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Carol &amp;
