A bond with your mom is the best bond there is. Your mom can be a best friend like you've never had. She understands you, she is patient with you, she listens to your rants, she boosts your confidence, she comforts you when you need it most, she enjoys your goofy side, she helps you when you get into exasperating situations but will tell you when you're being an idiot, she gets your humor when no one else does, she's the most forgiving person in your life, and nowhere feels quite like home without her. If you're with your mom right now, give her a big hug for me. Then watch some of these movies, cry a little, and cuddle.
