A wonderful woman

Today we got to celebrate a wonderful day of birth to one of the most amazing women I know. My mom. I think that I am quite lucky to have such an amazing relationship with my mom. Throughout my life I have never been scared to share a story with her. While she is my mom and I always respected her, I always considered her to be a good friend as well. In high school most teens skipped school to hang out and do things that their parents wouldn't approve of, I skipped school and went home and hung out with my mom. Over the years our friendship has grown stronger and stronger. When people make comments saying that I am just like her, I am proud.  If there is one woman that I aspire to be, it would be my mother. While she is not perfect, she strives to be each and every day. She has always balanced her ability to be a parent and adult. Her emotions almost always in check.

I remember when we would argue, things would get heated but just moments later we were able to make up and continue on without skipping a beat. That is a trait I truly try to take on. I wouldn't be lying if I said that I truly believe that I have one of best moms thats ever been.

The point of this post I guess is to give thanks to my mother. The woman who chose to have me. She chose to care for me in the hardest of times, love me in the roughest times and cry with me in the saddest times. I am one lucky daughter. I'll love you forever,  I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living,  my mommy you'll be.
