World's Greatest Mom

To my Mom on Mother's Day

World's Greatest Mom
Sarah Lynch

Well, here comes another Mother's Day where I feel as if there is no gift in the world that would even come close to the copious amounts of things my Mom has done for me in the past year or past twenty-two years for that matter. Seriously, how could I give her a card and flowers and expect that to suffice for the endless fashion advice, dinners, and shopping sprees she has given me throughout my life. A mug that says "World's Best Mom" will simply not cut it.

I know everyone thinks that they have the best mom in the world, and to each their own, but really my Mom is the greatest. She is probably the coolest and not to mention she dresses way better than I ever could.

She has always given me the best advice. The best piece of advice she has ever given me was during a bad day when I was much younger. I had probably dropped my ice cream cone on the ground or missed the new episode of Arthur, but that is beside the point. While I am sure I was throwing a complete meltdown about this, she said, "if that is the worst thing that happened today, you're doing pretty good."

This piece of advice has stuck with me, through everything and I am so grateful for that because how great is that saying. GREAT. I know. Go, Mom.

You know what, moms are always right. They, low key, know everything. And if you don't believe this yet, trust me, one day you will. She always knew that middle school friendship was going to end badly, but she didn't gloat when it did and it turned out, she was right. As always.

My Mom is the most fashionable mom, maybe ever, not to be biased or anything. I am at the point in my life where I trust her to pick out my clothes more than I trust myself. She just knows what is in style. She cuffs her jeans, wears stylish booties, and rocks platform sandals. And, she is way more photogenic than me.

All of these things make my Mom the cliche mug saying, "World's Greatest Mom."

As Mother's Day quickly approaches, I am positive my Mom will be spending her time doing something selfless instead of basking in the fact that she is loved and is indeed the "World's Greatest Mom."

Regardless of any gift that I get her, my goal this Mother's Day is to make it known that I am so grateful for the things my Mom has done for me. She deserves to feel special for way more than one day because she has made me feel special for twenty-two years. My Mom has been my rock.

And to quote Justin Bieber, in his extremely underrated song, Turn To You (Mother's Day Dedication), "I still turn to you."

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.

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.
