Wordful Wednesday//Letter (to My Mother)

Dear Mom, 

You are an inspiration. I have never met someone who embodies the word "superwoman" so well. 

I know my illness has been hard on you, and I am not always the most cheerful person--especially when I am in pain, which just happens to be most of the time.

But even so, you fetch me chamomile tea, and you rub my back. Soothing me comes natural to you, and you are one of the few people who can calm me down when I am upset about losing a friendship or developing a new symptom.

Laughter surrounds us even through simple text messages. You care for me so much that it makes me care for myself more.

I love you mother, friend, nurse, mentor. 

Your daughter,
Chelsea
