Aubree is a testament to true love and support. She is exceptionally intuitive. She knows how to say the right things when I need to hear them most.

As she grew up, I tried to hide my emotional struggles from her. I did not want to burden her with what I faced. Yet, this young woman saw it as if it played out on a theater screen.

She avoided telling me about her decision to move two hours away for as long as possible. Once she moved, she actively worked hard to come see me as often as possible. When she couldn’t, I made sure I would go see her. I would tell her how proud I was of her life choices. She would respond by telling me it has everything to do with how I raised her.

My daughter feeds into my mental well-being like no one else. We have a strong bond, one that I never had with my mother.

So, just being my daughter is what she has done for me.
