With this past Sunday being Mother's Day, I just had to write about mom's this week. On Mother's Day, we should not only take the time to thank our mom's for everything they do for us but appreciate them for everything they are.

My mom is the person I know I can go to for everything. No matter what kind of mood I'm in or how I'm feeling, I know she is the person who knows me better than I know myself. She did carry me for nine months after all! My mom is my confidant, the ultimate listener, my advice giver, and so much more.

My mom is my teacher. She has taught me more life lessons than I can count. She taught me how to cook, how to clean, how to wear makeup, how to be a lady, how to have good manners, how to respect others. She has modeled a life of faith and trust in the Lord and has been the ultimate wife and mother; I can only hope to someday become half the woman she is.

A mother loves you unconditionally. She is the one person who loves everything about you. She will go to the ends of the Earth to make you happy. I know my mother would do anything she could for me, and I owe everything I am to her, my dad, and most importantly, my Lord, Jesus Christ.

My mama is my rock. When I have had all I can take, her strength never falters. When I am at my breaking point and cannot see a light at the end of the tunnel, she is there to pick me up and show me there is hope in any situation; her faith never waivers. From helping me pick out a pair of shoes to go with my favorite outfit to comforting me and drying my tears, my mom has always been there and has never left my side.

I believe we all have a unique bond with our moms that is unlike our relationships with everyone else. Nothing can compare to a mother's love and the person that she is. My mom is the strongest, kindest, most caring, and most loving person I know. More than that, she is my very best friend.

So, as Mother's day has come to an end, remember to be thankful for your mother and all that she is in your life everyday. Every chance you get, tell her how much you love her; she deserves the world and more.
