College has taught me so much. It has taught me how to live on my own, how to make new friends and how to be responsible, but it has also taught me that no matter what I will always need my mom.
Moms are an amazing thing. In my opinion they are one of God's finest creations. There is no one alive, even your closest friends, that would stop everything they are doing just to talk on the phone with you because they miss you so much. Yes, they might say they love having you gone because they get a quiet house, but we all know that they secretly wish we were home (only for a few hours) some days. Trust me, they miss you as much as you miss them, maybe even more.
Whenever I see some of my friends disrespecting their parents, especially the woman who gave birth to them, it is just baffling to me. Whoever doesn't have a good relationship with their mother or father, I truly feel sorry for them, because those are two less best friends they will have in your life.
Mom's teach you so many things and they are there for you through it all, thick and thin, no judgment, just sage advice. Well honestly, maybe a little bit of judgment, but that is just because they think you can do so much better and they want what's best for you.
In my experience, whenever I need to talk to my mom she is always there for me. She never sugar coats anything because she knows I need to hear the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
My mom influences me in so many ways. She is the role model I will always look up to. People say you look up to your older siblings and I do that yes, but I look up to my mom mostly. I look up at the woman she is and has become. I admire her beauty, her strength, her courage, and most of all her faith. Without my mom I would not have the relationship with God that I have today because of her influence.
My mother has helped me in so many ways that some are just unexplainable. She has helped make me into the woman I am today. Yes, dad you helped too. But she really sacrificed so much to allow me and my siblings to have the life that we all have. She is such a selfless person and I admire that about her. Her strength is what gets me through most of my hard days, just as well as her willingness to help.
You may not see it now, but I hope you will find out soon that you will always need your mom, whether you are 5, 15, 25, 45, 65 and when she's not around anymore, you will be regretting the time wasted on thinking you can do things without your mom.
There are no words for how much I want to thank my mom, but let me start with this. Mom, thank you for being my go to. Thank you for being that one person I can always count on, no matter what. And thank you so much for loving me and for understanding the woman I am. It means the world to me and I love you so much for it. Lastly, thank you for being the best mom ever.
