To The Woman Who Raised My Husband
Kady Cooley

Thank you.

Thanks to you, my husband doesn't expect me to be perfect. He doesn't expect me to have his dinner cooked for him every night, but would rather cook for me. And I am so grateful for that because unfortunately, I am not skilled in the kitchen. He does not get mad at me when I become indecisive and instead tries to help me make up my mind and come to a conclusion.

My husband supports me in everything that I do and encourages me to go after everything I set for myself. He is one of my biggest fans and this is because you had a huge part in raising him to be the man that he is. He sticks up for me when I need it most.

He comforts me after I wake him up at three in the morning in a full-fledged panic attack. When I ask for something, even as a joke, but knowing that I want it, he gets it without even letting me know to surprise me. And if he can't get it right away then he tells me that one day when he can, he absolutely will and he reminds me of this often. He is selfless.

I have never met a man who is like him and I have you to thank for that.

You might not know, but before we ever dated I told him that I am just not in a place to date. That I was never going to put him first because God will always be first. That I was just too awkward of a person and scared to open up my heart to someone.

He told me that he never wanted to be first. That he would never stop trying because he knew that this was meant to be. He never questioned it in the four and a half years of being together. He never questioned it nor did he give up even when I tried my hardest to push him away due to fears and insecurities.

You raised him to be this man, and for that I will always thank you. Thank you for trusting me with you son and letting me love him for all of my life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
