I love my mom!

I have a mom who would bend over backwards for me.  She is the complete opposite of my father.  Where one can barely hold a job, she has always made sure to wear the pants and provide for her family.  I never have to wear her down if I am in need of money.  She willingly gives what she has, even when I try and refuse so I can make it on my own.  She was there for every game I cheered at, went to every cheerleading competition and wearing our colors proudly.  She came up yesterday just because I wanted her near.  <br/><br/>

With my wedding coming up, she is thinking about getting a second job just to help pay for things.  What parent gives and gives of herself like that??  My mom, that's who.  <br/><br/>

I am truly blessed to have my mom in my life.  Things haven't always been easy for her and I.  She had to do so much on her own.  Being a single parent was tough for her, I understand that now.  I feel bad for being a demanding kid sometimes.  She taught me to be thankful for what I have.  Even today, I sometimes forget that, but I am working hard trying to remember that there are worse things in life than a bad grade.  At least I have the opportunity to go to school.  My mom gave me that chance.  <br/><br/>

Mom, if you read this, know that I love you so much!!!  You have become my best friend.  I love having you to come to when things get hard.  Although we've had our bad moments and have highly disliked each other ever once in a while, just know I would never change you for the world!  No matter how many times you've told me no and I stormed off, I am thankful you didn't give in.  You have taught me if I wanted something that I had to earn it myself.  So many moms today just give in and now their children are brats.  I am very pleased to tell you I am not one of those kids.  :) I hope.  <br/><br/>

Thank you mom, for everything.  For being you.  For being MY mom.  Love you!!!!<br/><br/>

Love, <br/>
your daughter
