Strong. Brave. Inspirational.

These are all words to describe my best friend, Brittney. She has been through so much in life this far and rather than letting it tear her down – she keeps moving forward.  Her strength surprises me each and every single day.  The strength it takes to move forward after losing her husband, to continue on in life playing both the mother and father roles. She would do anything for her children, blood or not. Her courage to keep moving forward in life is so inspiring.  Being a mother is so draining at times, yet it is so rewarding.

She has taught me that no matter what life throws at you – you have to keep moving forward for those who need you. It may not always be easy, there will be tears of laughter, love, hurt, and sorrow. But those days will happen no matter what we do.

I love you, B.
