I have had many friends in my life, but no friend could ever come close to my mom. She's my shoulder to cry on, my voice of reason, my rock. She exemplifies everything that it means to be a best friend. Here are some of the reasons why my mom is mine.
1. She always keeps you on track.
I know how we all felt when we were younger and our moms would always nag us to do things. But in reality, without those constant, and sometimes excessive reminders, our lives probably would not have gone nearly as smoothly as they did.
2. She is your biggest supporter.
From the little league game, to the dance practices, to the school awards, your mom was always there cheering the loudest for you. No matter what she will always be by your side.
3. She makes you laugh.
She's the one person who you can completely be your weird self with. Whether it be the quirky mom jokes or making fun of one another, your mom is always good for a laugh.
4. She gives you great advice.
No matter what you ask, your mom always has an answer. Even though we all think that she doesn’t understand, she actually does know what she’s talking about, so listen to her!
5. She listens to you rant.
We all know the first person we call whenever one of our friends is bothering us … our mom. She listens to the endless hours of ranting without question and somehow manages to calm you down.
8. She calls the doctor for you because you're too scared to do it yourself.
Whenever we face that dreaded moment of having to call the doctor's office, there's a phone call we make first. And that's to mom. We all know we still make her do this. Don’t even deny it.
7. She helps you out while you learn how to adult.
I don’t know about you, but I still don’t know how to adult. When it comes to banking, cooking, or laundry, I am always lost and need a little assistance from the professional.
8. She is your shoulder to cry on.
Sometimes you just need a good cry and your mom is always the person for that. From the breakups to the breakdowns, she is always there to pick you up when you're down. She is your shoulder to cry on, literally.
9. She loves you, no matter what.
A mother daughter bond is so unique and special. Regardless of the fights, the rants, the cry sessions, the phone calls she makes for you, she always loves you at the end of the day. There truly is nothing like a mother's love.
Thank you so much for being my best friend. Each and every day I feel so lucky to be able to have you as not only my mom, but also my best friend.
Love you mom.
