Thank You, Mom

You are my best friend, my biggest fan and my mom all in one.

Thank You, Mom
Cassady Thompson

Dear Mom,

Where do I even begin? I know I have said it a million times, but you truly are the best mom a kid could ask for. I know sometimes it might not seem like your hard work is acknowledged, and I’m sorry for that. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you. You have done so much for me. You’ve cooked, cleaned, done laundry, bought me new clothes, and so many more “motherly duties." Don’t get me wrong, those classic mom roles are awesome, but what I am the most thankful for is so much more than that. You are selfless. You work all day every day and are exhausted but still come home and cook an amazing dinner and spend time with me. Whether it be going out somewhere, playing cards, or just watching a movie. You are extremely hard working. Your drive and determination has shaped me to be just like you, and that is something I am proud of. You have the kindest heart that loves so purely. Trust me, that especially doesn’t go unnoticed. You’ve always been there for me. This is the most important role a parent can play, and you win the blue ribbon for this one. Through the happiest and saddest of days, you are right by my side. Encouraging me, showing me the way and loving me. No matter what the situation is, I am comfortable to come to you. I can’t thank you enough for how much that means to me. I can only hope and pray that one day my kids will feel so comfortable and welcomed and talk to me about anything and everything. Some people may say that talking to your mom on the phone 15 times a day from college is crazy, but I wouldn’t change that for the world. You are my best friend, my biggest fan and my mom all in one. Come on, it doesn’t get any better than that! So, Mom, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you are and loving me unconditionally. I will forever cherish the relationship we share, and I will do my absolute best not to take you for granted.

Love Always,

Your eternally grateful daughter

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
