Mothers

First of all, let me just wish all the mothers a very happy Mother's Day! I hope that you all enjoy your day and get some rest! Now I wasn't sure how I was going to write this blog because honestly I haven't been a huge fan of my mom my whole life. Growing up from years birth to about 12 I had always been a daddy's girl. I would always choose him over my mom for anything. Now it's not like I disliked my mom because I didn't I just wasn't as close to her as I was to my dad. I didn't start getting close to her until after my dad passed away and I had no one else to be with really. At first I didn't like her because she took my freedom away, since I had to help out with my sister a lot more then. I couldn't do a whole lot with my friends after school because I had to watch my sister, and on weekends I was usually working. So through out high school I was kind of distant from my mother since she kind of took my childhood away from me. At the time I didn't really realize why she had to do this, but now I understand and I wish I wasn't so harsh on her in those years.

After I graduated from high school, my mom and I started to become closer. I was growing up and needed advice about jobs, college, etc. and she was there for me. We started to hang out more, go shopping together, go to dinner, see a movie that kind of stuff. It was nice to be able to have someone I could look up to and relay on them to help me if I needed anything. At this point my sister and I used to become closer too, we started to hang out more often as well.

Now I am super close to my mom and wouldn't know what to do with out her in my life. She is one of my best friends and I can tell her anything. I consider her one of my role models because I don't know if I could have done what she did after my dad died. She literally just picked up her life and continued on, she knew she had to get done what she needed to and that's what helped her. She now raises my sister and I on a part time salary and we get by. Money is sometimes tight in my house but we survive, we always do. So I dedicate this post to my mother who has always been there for me, even if I didn't want anything to do with her. She is an amazing women and I hope to be just as amazing as her when I get older. So thanks mom for everything that you have done for me, I really appreciate it! Love you!
