We all have that one person we look up to and can't live without. Well, mine is my mother. Not only is she my mom, but my forever best friend. I may be a little biased, but she's the coolest mom. My mom is my best friend because everyone needs a little guidance in life, and she gives me that.

1. She gives great advice. Gossip, relationships, college; you name it and she has great advice. Moms know all about how girls can be. She's married and had relationships in her younger days, so she knows how it can be. She knows college homework can be difficult. She tells me everything will work itself out, and it always does.

2. She will be up for shopping. We try to be off the same day of the week, which lately has hard, since I'm juggling school, too. But sometimes, I may skip a day of class just for girls' day! Shopping with my mom is always fun and stress free!

3. She tells me when I'm doing wrong. I'm not perfect, and sometimes I make mistakes. My mother will correct it. She will be the first one to tell me I'm doing wrong.

4. She shares clothes. So totally thankful my mother and I are the same size in clothes, because we share everything! Maybe that's a reason why I still live at home, but when I do decide to leave, there may be an argument on clothes.

5. She puts up with me. Well, sometimes I can be annoying, but it's funny to pick on parents, sometimes. She puts up with me a lot, and I'm so thankful for that. Especially when I want her to cook or help my clean my room.

6. She makes me laugh. She's my number one fan. We're so alike, it's crazy, and when we're together, it makes me laugh. I never have a dull moment with my mother.

7. She has faith in me. My mother is so kind and has a special heart and cares for anyone. She puts everyone before herself. She is genuine and loving, and loves me a lot. She has such great faith in me and I'm so grateful to have a mother like her.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Colossians 3:20
