She is understanding and always there for me. She
listens and is full of positive support. I am
lucky to have someone who is both a close friend
and a mother. Not everyone has this kind of a
relationship.
I could find endless words in the thesaurus to
describe my mother, but the one word that stands
out above the rest is "incredible." She has cared
for me and my family throughout my whole life.
When I was growing up, she always did my laundry,
took me to dancing lessons and the orthodontist
for eight years, made me breakfast and my lunch
for school everyday without fail, took my sister
to field hockey, sewed my clothes, typed my
papers, cooked for the family, cleaned the house,
did all the yardwork, and was happily married. I
don’t know how she managed to do all of these
things so well and still have time for herself.
My mother is my sole support system. Whenever
something exciting happens or there is a crisis in
my life, she is the first person I turn to. I have
seen many friends come and go in my life, but my
mother is different. For eighteen years of my
life, she has always been there for me. No matter
the distance between us, we always are close. She
understands me and knows me better than anyone
else I know. She doesn’t make demands nor does
she pressure me with school and my future. She has
complete faith and trust in me that I am doing the
right thing with my life. I make her happy by
letting her know I am happy and like who I am and
where my life is taking me.
Everyday I count my blessings and think about how
grateful I am to have a mother who loves me. Not
once do I take this for granted. I cannot imagine
my life any differently without her. One thing is
for certain: it just wouldn’t be the same.
