Everyone's mom is special to them. That's just how it works. Because all mothers are truly amazing. Always there, willing to give support, funny, kind, caring. My mom is all of those things. But something I really think makes my mom unique is the relationship between us. No, we don't always agree with everything. No, we don't call out "I love you's" every time I go to school. No, we're both definitely not perfect. Through these flaws though, we have something that you don't normally think of as a quality a mom should have: Friendship. My mom is like my friend. I never think of her as how much older than me, or how there are certain things you can't tell a "mom." We relate to each other in a way that a very close friend would. We're sarcastic with each other, we crack jokes, we talk, we have a lot of fun. In fact, one of the only things that's different about my mom and I and my other friends is that she unexpectedly offers great advice. It can be about anything, really, something I'm upset about, school issues, anything. But I realize that if I listen to it, it surprises me how much better I feel, how much everything works out. How can someone be so fun and light, but also so serious and deep at the same time? Hey, Mom pulls it off perfectly. The other thing is that I'll always be friends with my mom. With normal friends, every new school year you end up just drifting away from them, but with my mom, it never changes. It's always a steady constant that pulls all loose strands together. I proudly dedicate this post to my magnificent mom! Happy birthday, best friend! |
