Josie knew about her mother's desire to have everything be just right, especially when it came to an event. She liked to think that was where she had gotten it from herself. She wanted to please everyone else, so that they would still like her. She was slowly getting better with this, and she knew that she had her mother to thank for a lot of that. Caroline always did her best to encourage Josie to do her best and then let it go.
"You know I will be there for you" she replied, wanting to encourage her mother on that fact. Josie loved her mother, so spending time with her like that meant everything. But she knew that there was more to it than that; she wanted to be there for her mother too. And being there for her on such a big day was important to the both of them.
And just like that her mother made her feel better about the whole thing. It was okay for her to both, and there was also a reason for it. "Thanks mom" she added, looking up at her with this little smile. "You always know just what to say".
