Today I spent the day with my best friend.
The woman who was there when I took my first steps 28 years ago…
…and then who was there when I ran my first 26.2 26 years later.
The woman who has always taught me to follow my dreams.
The woman who would drop anything to help me out. And, in fact, has, on many many occasions. Her favorite story: at one point when I was really depressed living in D.C., I called her and just bawled into the phone. At the time, it seemed like everything that could go wrong was, and Bailey threw up on my phone and it pushed me over the edge. She jumped on a late-night train from NJ to DC and was there by 1am to just be there for me. I’ll never forget that…and she probably will never let me. 😉
The woman who is the best damn grandma any little dog could ever have. Having a dog as a busy single woman in NYC is not the easiest thing in the world, but having my mom close by makes things so much easier.
The woman who is so much more than just the woman who raised me–who is also my friend.
She’s also the woman who has the fiercest sweet tooth of anyone I know. We spent a lovely day together and capped it off with some cannoli from Stuffed Artisan Cannoli at Madison Square Eats. I had the birthday cake one, and it was amazing.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, mothers-to-be and fur moms. I’m so thankful for my relationship with my mom and to live so near to her. I love you, Mom.
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

That's amazing. What a great story... and a great bond. If Boyd threw up on my phone, that would totally put me over the edge too!!
Moms are the best!
Your mom rocks!
She really rocks with her slim body!

Such a sweet post =) Happy Mother's Day to your awesome mom! So glad to hear you guys had a great day!

Thank you Theodora,
You are the Sunshine of my Life and I could never imagine
life without you! With all the laughter, tears, and worried moments I would not change one day!!
And I would do it all over again.
I will always be here for you, Love YOU
Mom
That story about the train made me tear up - she sounds like a wonderful lady!! Glad y'all got to spend the day together
I wonder if those cannolis are the same ones that are at the Union Square holiday market? If so I had the birthday cake one at Christmas time and I agree, it was delicious!
And that's a great story about your mom coming to visit you in DC, so sweet!
Great post! Your mom is such a sweetheart, I love that she took the train to go see you in DC in the middle of the night!
This is SO sweet.
