So when I was looking into ideas for what to write for an article this week, I was thinking of people in my life who have recently helped me through some tough times. Who I always go to when I need a hug, or a laugh, or advice. And only one person came to mind, "Momma Meag."

I have been working with this lovely woman for a little over a year now. She has seen me at my worst and at my best and has always loved me. When I first started working at the 99, she was the most friendly face and I remember saying to myself "I am going to adore this woman." I always went to her if I had a question and she was always so eager to answer any question or concern I had. As my time continued at the 99, we grew closer. Less into coworkers, more into friends, and then after a short amount of time. I said this woman is like my second mother.

She was always an open ear when I had anything going on with my life. When Dylan and I started dating, she had to meet him and get approval to make sure she liked him, as a mother would. She could tell by my face if something was off. She always knew exactly what to say to make me laugh and make me change my entire day. We have went on a couple "mommy and daughter" dates, which I cherish every moment. Now I love my biological mother tons, but she recently moved to Florida. Which is wonderful and I am so happy for her for chasing her dreams and taking her dreams to Florida with her. But it is so nice to know I have a backbone up here, right at work with me every day. It's so nice to know that I will never be in trouble and not have someone to help me.

As my "mother" and I grow closer, I hope that every girl gets to have this type of relationship with someone. Someone who is always there for you, but will never judge you and always relate. Someone who chose you, and you chose them. I will always cherish mine and my Momma Meag's relationship. And I hope there is never a day where I don't have you in my life.
