My Mom

I haven't written a post about my mom and I think it is because there are really no words that can describe how wonderful of a person and mother she is. She really is the best. I could not have asked for a better person to raise me. I know I wont do her justice but I will try.

Well obviously, without her, I wouldn't be here. She had a pretty fast labor and before she knew it, I was here. Her life would NEVER be the same.

She would get down and play with me in the floor and mold the person I am today.

But more importantly, she was and is ALWAYS there for me. No matter what was going on with me, I knew I could go to her and I did/do. She has been there for every big thing I have gone through.

When I was 16 and found out I was pregnant, she was the first person I told. She was so understanding and supported me all the way. She even told my dad for me!

When I was in labor with all three of my kids, she was in the room with me helping me all the way. With the first one, I don't know how I would have got through it without her.When I left my first husband, she let me move back in with her. She really taught me how to be a mom and not just any mom, but a great mom. Also, when I had to go to a wedding and pretend to be the happy wife of the man I just left, she was right there with me helping me through it.

Not only has she been there for me through tough times but also for fun times.

She actually paid for my first tattoo. Of course it was to cover up a stupid homemade one but still, she paid for it. And she gave me that kick ass shirt I am wearing. ;)

She was there when I celebrated my 21st birthday.And she was there when I met Benny and when I married him.

She is the kind of person people wish to be like. She taught me to always stand for something. To not let others get me down. To be the kind of person I would want my kids to be. To always love my family. That your family should always be your #1 priority. That you have to have the bad times to appreciate the good times. To know that it could always be worse and that it will get better. To be a great mom. To be a great wife. That you can't change anyone but yourself. To always try harder. That if you want something done right, it's usually easier to do it yourself and to do it logically the first time. To really enjoy life and not sweat the small stuff. And so much more.

She is my very best friend along with Benny. I talk to her every single day and wouldn't change that for anything. I truly am the luckiest person because I get to have her as my mom.

I love you Mom. Thank you for being the person you are.
