Moms are a special kind of human. We're stuck with them, yet it turns out to be the best kind of stuck. You always have someone to text, binge watch shows with and get advice from. The more I grow up the more I realize that my mom truly will always be my best friend.
"A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take" -Cardinal Mermollid
Here are some signs your mom is always going to be your person.
1. You text each other all day everyday
If I don't get a good morning text then something is up. And if I don't text her back within a couple hours, I can count on an "r u ok?" text or phone calls until she knows I'm alive. One time, I even Facebook messaged her co-worker/friend just because my mom hadn't texted me all day.
2. She doesn't get mad when you ask for help
I actually hate asking for help. It kind of makes me cringe inside, but let's be honest, my parents help me a lot. I might be the most annoying kid in the world sometimes with just graduating college and not really knowing what to do with my life yet, but mom is always there with advice and money because even after you graduate, the broke college student stigma doesn't end.
3. Everyone tells you you're exactly alike
I hate to admit it, but it's true.
4. She cries every time you leave
Because it sucks being 2,000 miles away from your best friend.
5. You tell each other what you have for dinner... every night
Because it's the important things in life that matter. #priorities #foodfamily
6. She endures your shopping trips even though she secretly kinda hates them
My mom is the type of person that goes in for what she wants and gets out. Meanwhile, I'm browsing the clearance, trying a couple things on, and debating between colors. Or those weekend grocery store trips when you want everything...
7. You tell each other everything
Besides what you had for dinner, moms know everything from what happened at work to the girl you dislike in class and don't even really know why. You both just like to know the details.
8. She knows when you're upset and why before you even say a word
Moms have a sixth sense... or it's just the same boy. Either way, moms just know.
9. She knows when you need a treat
Moms know that the solution is ice cream. Moms that love ice cream are the best kind of moms. Or when she comes home with a cute new purse or sends you coffee money in the mail with a sweet note to brighten your week.
10. She sacrifices without complaint
Time, money, sleep, the last bite of her cheesecake... Few of us really understand how much parents sacrifice for us.
11. She loves without condition
From dumb decisions to being a complete brat... a mom's love never changes.
Thanks mom.
