We all know May is designated for Mother’s Day and June for Father’s Day. Personally, Father’s Day is another day to acknowledge and appreciate everything my mom has done for me. She has constantly been the support system in my life and continues to be to this day. As I get older, I've started to understand how hard it must be to raise two children on her own.
Every single mom is Wonder Woman, and here's why:
1. She is the mother and father figure in your life.
She is the sweet, caring, always-loving mother, but she is also the stern, disciplinarian father.
2. She raised you and your siblings completely on her own.
3. She was always there and still is.
Whether it was my brother’s middle school band performances or my cheerleading competitions, she was always in the stands supporting us.
4. Â She worked long hours or doubled her hours to provide you with items you needed, and when she could, the things you wanted.
5. She was the only one going to parent-teacher conferences to talk about how you were doing in school.
6. She was by your side at all your doctor appointments.
Thanks mom for holding me when I was getting blood drawn because I was (and still am) terrified of needles.
7. She was the one yelling at the top of her lungs for you when you walked across the stage at your high school graduation.
8. Â She is the one you call when you are at college for guidance in stressful situations, AKA boy problems.
9. She was the one helping you carry loads of dorm room items up multiple flights of stairs on move-in day, and who carried them back down move-out day.
As this Father's Day passes, I know it will be spent appreciating my mom. Now, what to get her or what restaurant to take her to is a different situation I need to figure out.
