Okay, guys. Most of you have met my mom. If you haven't met her in person, you've probably seen her commenting on Facebook and almost everyone agrees: she's pretty great!
On top of always loving my friends as if they are our family, taking care of everyone she meets, and making sure all is well with all her loved ones, she supports me NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
Yesterday, I sent her a picture of some snacks I recently discovered and asked her to let me know if she found them anywhere. I told her "If you find these in a grocery store will you let me know? I've only seen them at holiday and it's frustrating lol" and this is the rest of the conversation.
Mind you, I AM the type of person to casually drop a "oh, by the way, I also recently fell in love" so she's not off-base by checking.... But she never misses a beat!
I am amazed that there are still people in the world that don't care about their children's feelings enough to say "Well then f*ck the rest of societal norms, I love my child NO MATTER WHAT" because there is already so much bad in the world, kids need only the best from the people at home.
My mom often says "I wish I could've done better at this" or "I tried my best at that" and points out the mistakes she made along the way but it means nothing! I've always known that if I need something, my mom will be there at a moments notice and she will always have my back. She has supported me and my decisions, without hesitation, for almost 28 years! (I say almost because I'm not quite 28 and she definitely questioned - and was unhappy with - my decision to hang out in utero for an extra 4 weeks! Sorry about that, ma...)
Be the type of person the next generation writes blog posts about!!
More graffiti later,
