Sarah is the sweetest person I know. She always have a smile on her face, the kind that bares teeth and all but it looks so authentic and contagious. I share her socks wardrobe. Pink, polka dot, velvet, mesh, linen. She has them all. She loves it when I match hers, and hers are always mismatched. She has a favorite hat: snow-white wool with a huge band, coming together at the top like an ice cream cone. She wears it year-round, and some people laugh at her. This March 21st, I'm accompanying her to the parade. I love my mother.
