There are two people that have had a significant impact on my life. The first person would be my Mother. She is my moral compass. Her faith in God is expressed everyday in how she relates to other people and how she deals with the hardships that this life can offer. I will never forget the day and weeks after my brother's funeral. I have never seen such sorrow, such pain on my Mother's face. The month following was filled with tears, laughter, and recollection. That time could have been filled with hatred, blame, and hopelessness. Her sweet spirit is known by everyone that knows her. I cannot count how many times she has been there for me. I remember one time waking her up in the middle of the night, crawling in bed with her, because a guy I loved had completely broken my heart. Or the time I woke her ecstatic over a first kiss. Or the many many times she sat on the sidelines and cheered for me while playing basketball or softball. I will never be able to repay her for everything she has done for me!
The second person that has had the biggest influence on my life is my best friend Shama. We have only known each other for 6 years...but it feels like forever. She is perfect. She is smart, beautiful, funny, talented, confident, sweet, generous, sexy, and athletic...she is the All-American girl. Not only is she the girl every guy dreams about...she is also the best friend I have ever had. I can always count on her to tell me the truth...no matter what, to listen to me prattle on and on about some cute guy that has got my attention, to lend a shoulder to cry on, or lend me money when I am broke. This past year with Jeff has been one roller coaster ride after another...and I came off that ride completely lost...completely broken. Shama was there...there to pick me up...dust me off...and remind me of who I am. She makes me want to be a better person...gives me the courage to be myself...to stand up for what I believe in...and have the confidence to go up to that boy grab him by his shoulders and kiss him like he has never been kissed before. She is my biggest fan! And that means so much because there is no one on this earth that knows me better than she does. She accepts me with all my faults...all my stupid choices...and loves me unconditionally. So...in short...if she had a penis...I would marry her. :)
