Well, I've survived my first two weeks of college. Which means my first two weeks of living away from home. And the one thing I have definitely noticed was how much I really relied on my mom when I lived at home. So, here are five important reasons my mom will always be my rock.
1. My mom has watched me cry and seen me through every sickness (which includes her cleaning up my vomit), every heartbreak, the death of a friend, and so much more. And she has always stayed strong for me, no matter how hard it may actually be on her. That is exactly what I will absolutely always need, someone to keep me steady when I'm unsteady and she does just that.
2. My mom is my best friend. She is the only person I can be fighting with one minute, and giggling with the next. Friends will hold grudges and get angry and turn away when you're like that. But my mommy doesn't.
3. Sorry dad, but my mom is my go-to. When I need something or someone, I can almost guarantee you my first call is my mom. She has the answer for everything, and if by chance she doesn't, she can direct me in the right direction to get my answer. Whether it's a question about how to study, how to do laundry or I'm just bored and need someone to talk to, she's there.
4. My mom wants the best for me. I know you're probably thinking "all moms want the best for their children" but I know that my mom has sacrificed so much for me just to give me the things I want and need. I can't think of how many times my mom has wanted to go somewhere or do something, but I would beg her to take me somewhere and she would give up her plans to keep me happy. And that is something that I will always appreciate.
5. My mom knows me better than anyone else. She always gives me the best gifts and knows just what I want or need without me actually telling her. She understands my stress levels and knows how and when to approach me when those stress levels are at all time highs. She understands that I'm cranky sometimes and I will snap at her, but she knows I don't mean the things I say. She knows just what kind of guy I'm attracted to and will always point them out to me when we're in public.
Long story short, I don't know what I would do without my mom. No matter how old I am, one thing is for sure: I will ALWAYS need my mom. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. I love you, Mom!
