1. She's your #1 fan.

Your accomplishments are her accomplishments, rightfully so. I mean, she did birth you.
2. She will tell you exactly like it is.

No matter where you are, or what kind of trouble you may be in, your mom will always be there to have your back. Its just what they do.

It's not just a show, it's a lifestyle. Also a bonding experience.

There will never be a time where your mom will make you cry alone. If you cry, you better believe she's crying too.
8. She already has a million silly photos saved in her phone to send you when you're feeling down.

If your mom has a funny feeling about a new friend/ significant other, BELIEVE HER. She will never steer you wrong and you WILL regret not listening to her.
10. She will never refuse a good hug.

Whether it's after a long day, or just a surprise hug, mom hugs are the best kind out there. There isn't a safer place then in the arms of your wonderful mother.
Thanks for being my best friend and mom all in one. I love you.
