Have you ever taken the time to appreciate someone who does everything for you? Someone who knows you so deep like no one else can? Well I have someone who has seen me grow each day by teaching me right from wrong, supporting me even when I may have made the wrong decisions, my shoulder to cry on, encourages me in all I do, and most of all loving me unconditionally. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for her. She is my backbone. I know no matter what I do in life she will always be there and have my back. She always took care of me when I was sick when I was younger and still makes my appointments for me now because I will never like talking on the phone to make them. She works so hard and always makes sure I have everything I need. She makes me laugh like I never have before and makes me laugh when I don't want to and anyone who knows her knows that she is a character of her own. She's one of a kind! She means everything to me. She is my mom. We may fight, but I know at the end of the day she's my mom and I love her for giving me life and for God blessing her with me, although I think he blessed me with her. I love you mom.
