I love you, Mom.

To The Mom Who Gives Me The World
Sara Durphy

Mom,

Let me start off by telling you how truly proud of you I am and how proud I am to be your daughter. In the past three years you have broken so many boundaries and made me so proud. You have done broad street twice going on three times this year (I am so excited to take part in this with you). You ran not only one but two half marathons, broad street and a 10k within four months. When I came to Disney and watched you cross the finish line at the Princess half marathon I was so proud of you. Then next thing I know you did Tinker Bell in Disneyland not even four months later and only a week after broad street.

Just to show how amazing my mom is here are all the medals from the races that she has done. As well as her bibs from all of her races. Just a look at some of the medals that she has; Broad Street 2016 and 2017, Star Wars Dark Side 10k 2017, Mickeys Virtual Running Shorts, Mickeys Wine and Dine 5k, Hot Chocolate 15k and more!!


Not only have you made me proud with running but you make me proud to be your daughter in general. I know that we argue and sometimes I can be a lot to handle but I still appreciate you and everything that you do for me. I know that no matter how much we argue you will still have my back.

You have also taught me so many things. You always seem to be right about everything. Like every time you tell me how you do not like someone and do not think they are a good friend in the end you are always right. I know that even though I do not always listen to you that you still always end up being right. So maybe I should take my own advice to Jack and start listening to what you have to say.

I also want to thank you. Thank you for sharing your love for Disney with me. You brought me to Disney growing up and worked so hard so that we could go on those trips and I am so appreciative of that. Thank you for always bringing me places and taking me shopping. Going shopping with you is always fun because you pick out and know my fashion sense better than I do. Thank you for letting me see the world. You have taken me to many places. You took me on cruises and to Cancun, Canada and all over the bahamas. Thank you for allowing me to travel overseas to Greece. You have never even been to Europe and you allowed me to travel over there by myself and get the experiene of a lifetime.

Most importantly, Thank you for being my mom.

Love,

Sara

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

Clare Concannon
