Since the moment I was born, all it took was one look for me to realize I had met my best friend: the day I looked in my mother's eyes. There is no one else in this world that I would want to look like, act like, sound like, or hopefully turn into other than my mother. She is my best friend and always will be for many reasons.
1. She Is Always Sticking Up For Me
Recommended for you
When I was younger, fighting my elementary school teachers for not giving me an A when she thought I deserved it. Now, she boldly offers to talk to my boss after I've had a bad day at work. Regardless of the situation, my Mom's power to use her words in my defense has never failed me.
2. She Watches Disney With Me
Sometimes she knows the words to all of the songs better than I do. She is the first one to get excited when a new Disney movie comes out and to be the first one in line at the movie theatre to watch it. But that's my mom and I wouldn't trade her for the world.
3. She Always Try To "Get It"
I had to teach her how to text, create her own Facebook, and basically anything that has to deal with a computer. But no matter how many times I show her, she probably will never actually "get it" but that's okay too.
4. She Wants To See Me Succeed
I knew there was a reason that she made me do my homework, fill out any extra credit problems, keep my grades up, apply for scholarships, and make sure I go above and beyond.
5. She Has Seen It All
From my most embarrassing moments in life to the times I was so sick I made her come to my rescue, my mom has seen them all. And luckily for me, she won't love me any less after seeing any of these awful events.
6. She Listens To My Problems
No matter how petty I may see at the time, she is always willing to listen to me. Although tough love is sometimes the answer, that's sometimes the entire reason I want to go to her in the first place.
7. She Wants To Know Everything
No matter what I say to her, she always knows if I am lying or telling the truth. Every time I say "It's nothing, I'm fine" my mom will always know better. There's nothing I can do or say that my mom won't see straight through.
8. I Am Her
Even though I always roll my eyes the second she asks someone how much I look like her, I could only hope to reflect some of the greatest qualities that my mom has. I couldn't be any happier to say that my mom is my best friend.
