In the beginning, when I was a kid, my mom functioned as a stay at home mom, and she wasn’t too upset about it. I, of course, lived on mac and cheese and frozen chicken nuggets until my dad stopped working so much and was regularly home to make us dinner. But even though she couldn’t cook, she was doing her best, and still is.
I love my mom for so many reasons. She’s my biggest fan and supporter in whatever I do, she loves me all the time (sometimes a little too much), and she never stops doing it all. So, in honor of Mother’s Day, which is coming up fast, I would like to use this little corner of the Internet to give her a big thank you. Thank you for being there for me, taking care of me, and being my best friend.
When I was in high school, my mom decided she didn’t want to work in a law firm anymore and that she was going to go back to college, to nursing school. Some people were surprised, and some told her she couldn’t do it, but when she got the notification telling her that she had passed her last exam to be a nurse, I wasn’t surprised at all. I knew she could do it, so about two weeks after that, I watched my mom walk across a stage, and a month later she watched me do the same thing. I like to tell people that we graduated together.
Dad just as big a supporter of mine as Mom is, and he cheers me on and works so hard to make sure that I have a good life, so I want to thank him too. But on this Mother’s Day, I think my mom deserves the thank you. Thank you for staying up all hours of the night because I was afraid of the dark, thank you for letting me make my own friends, thank you for letting me be my own person. Thank you. I love you.
Above is me and my parents, notice how my mom is strangling me with love, also notice that I don’t mind so much. I don’t want any Moms out there to go unnoticed this Mother’s Day, they are all special, and deserve a day of recognition. My mom is my best friend, and trust me when I tell you, she knows everything. Thanks, Mom.
