Who would you trust with your life?

Wow.  Thinking about this question made me realize how incredibly lucky I am....to have more than one person in my life that I would trust this way.  Since I'm having such a shitty couple of weeks, this question has really helped refocus my perspective in a more positive direction for a few minutes. 

Number one:  Mom - obviously - she brought me into this world, she ensured my survival for the formative years, and I truly believe if it came down to it...I would definitely trust her with my life, no questions asked.  We have a concrete and solid established trust relationship.  very predictable. Like the foundation of a house.

Number two:  My husband.  Our trust is constantly challenged by our independence and has come through every time.   It's not an easy, casual trust - it's a dynamic, ever-changing, intense limit-pushing trust - like a trip to the roller coaster park where you're forced to ride all the rides - the ones you love AND the ones that scare the living shit out of you. If our trust could withstand the last 11 years...there's no doubt in my mind. I would trust him with my life.

Number three: My heart sister.  Our trust is warm and soft and safe -  Think - Warm snuggly blanket in a chilly room.  Think - hot chocolate.  Think - comfort food.  Think - roasting marshmallows with a mug of warmed bourbon and honey.  Our trust is really embedded in our hearts in a way that truly makes us sisters.  I would not hesitate to put my life in her hands.
