Brandi is my daughter's best friend. On Feb. 5, her mother loaded her onto an airplane and shipped her out to Calgary to live. Kicked her out of the house.

There are no words to express how I feel right now. Brandi is a good kid. She is my "other daughter." I really miss her, as does Carrie.

So I made these socks for her. The heart is embroidered on with duplicate stitch, and is a reminder to her of how very much she is loved.
