Virginia fine arts museum | mama + kiddos

I could not possibly tell you what the argument was that night with my mother. 
At 16 we had many, yet I can only tell you about a handful. 
What I can tell you is that I called Nadiyah. I called her with complete certainty that she would be there in my moment of need. 
In a matter of minutes a black Jeep Cherokee was waiting by the lobby of our apartment. 
I don't remember what we said. I just remember how I felt. 
Safe +understood. 
In the company of a true friend.
Now, fast forward 14 years, and I get to share motherhood + married life beside her.  The joys, the struggles, and all the moments in the middle.
