I haven't known your mom for her whole life obviously, but I've known her long enough to consider her a good part of my life. I always value her opinion and admire her strength and love. I am also very greatful for the love that Carrie has shown me; even though I'm no LDS and I don't go to church every week, Carrie always finds in her heart to treat me like part of the family. Her trust is something that means a lot to me.
I have many wonderful memories with her in them...but the one that always stands out is Homecoming 2006. Ginelle and Jeff were dating but Jeff asked Carlie to the dance. Carlie then proceded to think it was okay to come over the day of the dance and ask Ginelle if she could borrow her shoes for the dance. I was staying with your family that week and witnessed the greatest thing any mother could do for her daughter. Carlie didn't bother to knock on the door and just walked in and Carrie saw her and shouted from across the house: "I don't want you in my house when you're going to hurt my daughter! Get out! Ginelle doesn't want to see you. Not now." Emmy, Ginelle and I were speechless at that point, and once I could finally find my voice, all I could say was "Alright, Carrie! Way to go." It was a pretty awesome moment for all four of us in the house. Way to go, Carrie, you're such a cool mom. I love being your other kid.
