6 Signs That Your Mom Is Your Best Friend For Life

I am lucky to have a mom and a best friend all in one.

As I have matured into my adult years, I have learned many things thus far. I have learned the valuable importance of friendships, but more importantly, I have discovered the close bond that I have with my mom.

As we mature, we as women come to realize the necessity there is for a mother and a best friend.

Here are six reasons why you just might have lucked out when it comes to moms.

1. You quote movies together.

It's fun to be able to quote movies, but it's even more fun when you have someone to quote them with. One of my moms and I favorite movies to quote is "Freaky Friday." We can just about quote the entire movie!

2. You can confide in her without judgment.

It is nice to have someone that won't judge your actions or your feelings, no matter how ridiculous. I am lucky to have a few people like this in my life, one of them being my mom. It is important for a woman to be able to open up to her mother about things in her life no matter how trivial.

3. She makes you feel special when no one else can.

Ever need an encouraging pep talk? I know I do more often than not, and I can always count on my mom to make me feel better. Whenever I am feeling down or don't feel good about myself, my mom knows just the right things to say to lift me right back up.

4. She is your wine drinking buddy.

It is great to be able to open up to your mom, but it is even better when it is over a bottle a wine. Whether you are going through a breakup, have a had a rough day, or just want to talk, it is always better with a glass of wine and your mom.

5. Her opinion means everything to yo

I have always trusted my mother's judgment regarding decisions I make and the people I choose to let into my life. When it comes to friends, boyfriends, etc., my mom has never been wrong. She knows the ones to keep around and the ones that won't make the cut.

6. She is there for you through the highest highs and the lowest lows.

It is safe to say there are many life events that you will stumble upon as you become an adult, and sometimes what you really need is your mom for the really good times and for the very bad times. The bad times, however, are the most important because anyone can be there for you to recognize your accomplishments, but not many will be there to pick you up when you fall. I have been through a lot from my teenage years to now. From mental illnesses and major life decisions to breakups, my mother is the only person that truly knows my heart and what is best for me, and that is something that I am very lucky to have.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
