I have lots of friends in college and I still have some friends from high school that I am super close with and would consider to be my best friends. But the one person that I know I will always consider to be my best friend is my mom. Being close with my mom is amazing, but it really sucks being so far from her in college. Although I do talk to her at least two or three times a day, there are some days that I just wish I could have a hug from my mom because she honestly gives the best hugs, or there are days where I wish I could wake up to her making breakfast or any meal for me. Not being around her all the time now has made me appreciate all the things she does for me even more now.

When I talk to other people about my mom, I guess I like to brag about how awesome she is. When I think about how awesome my mom is, my heart honestly fill with so much joy because all I can hope for in my life is that I can be half as good of a mother to my children as she is to me. Sometimes I worry that I don't tell my mom how much I appreciate her and love her because there is honestly nobody else in this world that I appreciate as much or more than I appreciate my mom. Not only do sometimes I worry that I do not tell her how much I appreciate her but I worry that I do not show her enough. She does everything for me, except when I go home she won't do my laundry. But she will do everything else like cook and do my dishes.

We celebrate Mother's Day every year but that is only one day a year. Personally, when you have as great of a mom as I do Mother's Day needs to be celebrated more often because I want my mom to know how great she is, how much I love her, how much I appreciate her and that I would not trade her or our relationship for anything in this world. My mom is so great that my closest friends become part of our family to her. When my mom will make a big dinner and there is too much for three of us to eat, she makes me invite friends over to help eat all of it and because she wants to catch up with them. One of my friends still lives in our hometown and she has become a fill-in daughter for my mom when I am not there. Although, I wish it was me that was there to hang out with my mom. I am glad that I have such amazing friends that are willing to hang out with my amazing mom. Maybe it is because they are both so amazing that they are some of the greatest people in my life.

Mom, if you are reading this I want you to know that I really truly appreciate everything you do for me. You might say that having a daughter is your biggest blessing, but having you as my mom is the biggest blessing. You are my best friend and no matter how many friends come in an out of my life I can always count on you. When I tell my friends about how awesome you are, my heart honestly fill with joy because I have you as my mom. So thank you.
