There's something about calling your mom that makes everything a little better. In certain situations, simply no one else will do. Whether you're looking for a shoulder to cry on, someone to share your excitement, or just because, Mom is a phone call away. From time to time, we might think we're calling a little too often, but no worries. She loves it.
