My Momma

My Mom is the greatest. I know that you all think you have the best mom but truly truly mine beats out all other moms. I want to tell a few stories about my mom so you'll just have to bear with me. She is the type of mom that will talk for three hours to your best friend about the Birds and the Bee's because her mom wouldn't give it to her straight. She's the type that will stay up all hours of the night talking to you about the things that you are most embarrassed about and then turn it around and tell you all about her stupid mistakes so that yours don't feel so bad. She is the type that gives you unconditional love always, even when you have to move back home because it's just not working in the real world for you. She the type that makes you feel as if you were invincible when moments before you felt like giving up with the whole nursing your newborn baby thing after several long discouraging days of it not happening for you. She's the type that lets you talk with the Lord and have the faith in Him to do what He wants even though she may have different thoughts about how to meet your husband. She's the type of person who works and works for her family, praying and never giving up that they will choose the right and be good and honorable children. She's the type who have good and honorable children because she has worked so hard to raise them as such. She is the type who you can call when you are at your wits end and ask for advise on raising kids because she has already had that problem and has succeeded in it and it seems as though her advise always works. She's the type who makes you never want to get a tattoo because you are sure she will end up seeing it someday and be disappointed that you got it. She's the type you never want to let down but you know if you do she won't hold it against you forever. She's the type that will pick up a little baby and have them calmed down within seconds just because of her nature. I really could go on and on about my mom. She is whom I want to become. There is a line from the movie Two Weeks Notice that says something like she's the voice in my head. I feel that way about my mom. I feel like she will always be there and one day when she has gone Home (I pray that is not for a very very long time) I know that she will always be the voice inside my head. She is my hero and my inspiration. It is she that I miss most about living in Las Vegas. She says to me that there are things she would have done different when we were growing up but I am so glad that everything was just as it was. I am so blessed to have her as my mother. I have never wished for someone else's mother and I never will. In truth I feel like she is more of my best friend rather than some parental figure even though I still turn to her as such. I cherish the times that I get to spend with her now and I cherish the times we worked together. I look forward to the future and hope and pray I can be just like her. Happy Mothers day Momma. I love you.
