Going to college has opened my eyes when it comes to cherishing my mom. Having gotten much closer to her and it probably also is because of the million of times I miss her and I wish she was right here with me. If you asked me in high school I would never say that my mom is my best friend, but I can safely say that she is now.

1. You can tell her anything.

She knows everything I do and finds out 2 seconds after I do.

2. She understands your humor.

Probably because you most likely got your ~unique~ humor from her.

3. She has the best advice and has a lot of it.

We all know the only person who you truly listen to is your mom.

4. She is your number one fan.

We all need a fan, who's a better one than your mom?

5. She puts up with all your sass.

Coming from me, we know she gets a lot of sass and often.

6. She always has a ton of compliments ready for you.

7. She will always be the best person to go shopping with.

8. She always knows how to cheer you up.

Those care packages you get just when you need them, the candy and ice cream she buys and brings you when you just need it the most.

9. She loves you unconditionally. No matter what you do.

Also, the first person to find out about everything since she knows exactly what to say and do.

10. Most importantly of all, she is always there for you.

Even when you call her in the middle of the night crying over a boy because you may have had a bit too much wine at dinner, or during finals when you need to get up early and she wakes up extra early to make sure you're awake.

Love you, Mamma! Hopefully, I'll be as good of a mom as you one day.
