Today is my Mother's birthday and of we are celebrating by....SIKE! My Dad surprised her with a trip to Cozumel, Mexico so guess who is stuck dog sitting in Greensboro, NC? ME.
But she deserves it, as she does so much for our family. So, enjoy Mom and bring me something back...preferably with a worm in it!
I love my Mom because:
1. She chose me, she gave me life!
2. She didn't give up on me when I didn't see it her way (which was the right way)
3. She let me figure things out and then I would think (because I would never say) you were right
4. She would give me her last
5. As she has done before, just to see me happy
6. The nights she prayed for me when I needed it
7. The times she read me bed time stories
8. How she always told me I could be whatever I wanted to be
9. The way she consoled me when I dropped out of law school and felt like I had no purpose
10. All the fashion advise I may or may not have taken
11. For helping me trash talk anyone who made me mad
12. all the countless times we may share a thought and no one says anything, but we just know
13. For giving me her bad eyesight and now I have to find new statement pieces as eyewear (I am excited about this one)
14. I love how strong she is
15. and when I am weak she always has it together
16. she thinks I am wonderful, smart and pretty (we all need to hear that sometimes)
17. how she keeps it real, even when I am so past it
18. how she has shown me a great example of what a mother is
19. she has taught me how to balance a checkbook, now do I always do it? No, but I know how
20. she told me, if you can't get it off your mind...buy it
21. she always tells me to save my money...revert to #20
22. She cooks everything just right
23. She shows how someone can be truly self-less
24. She likes trap music and God
25. She encourages me to be my very best
26. She lets me know regardless of my failures she is proud of me
27. She has reared an amazing woman..me of course
28. she is a wonderful wife
29. because she has her own style
30. because she does all of these things and more repetitively without a single moan or groan.
I love her more than anything or anyone in this world and the only thing she has not taught me, is how to live without her when she is gone.
Cherish your mother, give her a call today. I love you Mom!
