This week’s WCW is one of the strongest women that I have ever known and the only one that I truly believed that I willed into existence for a long time. @clothedinthesunandmoon is my baby sister, and also my mentor. She is so strong and so tough that people forget that she has a soft heart underneath her tough exterior. She has always gotten my references and my jokes and our inane conversations are some of my favourite things on earth.
