here's hoping i make it another day past today... this mother (i shall call her M), and her daughter (she will be known as A) are sharing a fine moment in their kitchen one evening. M threatened to kill me if i posted this, but i find this to be too nice of a moment to keep hidden in my archives.

M is a wonderful and beautiful woman, and her daughter is likewise. they've gone through some tough times, but there is so much love between them, it's a great thing to see.

people like M (and her husband, who i work with) are good people. they are the people i try to surround myself with. i don't have many friends, but those that i do have are great people like her.

I am honored to be the godfather of M's second daughter. and it's even cooler when she invites me over for a homecooked meal :)

i find it ironic that i am posting a mother/daughter shot on the birthday of the mother of my own daughter. despite the enormous differences i have with my "baby's momma", i am glad that my daughter's mother is a good mother and loves our daughter just as much as i do. i'm not able to see my daughter this day, but i'm glad she's with people that love her and take care of her. so happy birthday to you.
