I have a planner. I schedule my own appointments, and keep track of all my life events. But, at the end of the day, my mom is my source for all the information I need. Of course it would have been cliche and unoriginal to post this for Mother's Day. Mom, you deserve a thank you, every day.
For being my source of information
I know I frequent interrupting you at work wondering if you have seen my other shoe or the textbook I didn't use all year and need to return. I know if i'm wondering where something was put and I need it quickly, you're the one person who could tell me exactly where it is. Every time I have a question, regarding anything, you have never failed to at least give me some guidance and assistance. I make my own doctors appointments, dentist appointments, and meetings on campus, but you are always my second reminder.
For giving your opinion
I know I shop a lot, I am absolutely positive I get that from you. You never fail to tell me if the jeans I'm trying on look awkward, if the dress isn't the best looking, or if the shirt is the absolute wrong color. That being said, you also never fail to compliment me when you like whatever it is. I know that my friends could give me similar opinions, but my generation grew up with different standards than yours. So that dress that I think is totally perfect, could be totally not alright for the occasion. Sometimes, your opinion is the perfect one.
For doing the usual mom things
You cook, you clean and you do laundry. You don't yell when I truly screw something up, or when i'm being absolutely stubborn. I don't think there's much more to add to this, because you really do it all.
For being my best friend
I know in recent years, I have gotten used to getting food or getting my nails done alone. I absolutely appreciate the weekends that we get the chance to go get pedicures together. Whether we talk about a ton of different things, or barely anything, it's really nice to just sit there with my mom. I love getting the chance to go to the mall with you, and not just because you usually buy me things. I genuinely appreciate spending time with you.
Just Thanks
I know you don't hear it often. Just know I absolutely appreciate you, and absolutely love you.
