Pressing On

I  just love everything about this shirt. I bought it a little over a year ago. I adore the woman who created this company and wanted to show my love and support by purchasing her product.

I had to pushed her a little to finish strong as that energy began to fade. With those miles behind her and tongue hanging to the ground by the time we got to the driveway, I'm sure she was thrilled to now go hang out with dad in his office.  I wasn't sure how much further I would continue to go but had decided just another couple of miles.
