My mother is my person. No I am not ashamed of it. We may be polar opposites, but she is truly the best friend I have ever had. Even though we are different, she really does get me. She has sacrificed so much for me and the people around her. She always thinks of others before herself and does what ever she can to make others happy. I only hope I could be half of the woman she is whenever I become a mother one day.
She has been that one person that I can tell anything and everything too and not worry about a million other people knowing. She has been through all the drama I've experienced. She listens to me when I just need to rant and let it all out. She has guided me through my heart breaks and my breakdowns. She hugs me real tight and never lets go until I feel better. She even makes me cookies that always make me feel better. She has seen me at my highest and she has seen me at my lowest. But she still loves me the same.
She has fought with me through my anxiety. She was always there at the hospital by my side and never left once. With every fainting spell she was always able to get me to wake up. She would wipe away my tears and tell me that it is okay and that she is here. She is my shield when it comes to my anxiety. She takes it away and I do not think I will ever know how she does it. She is the reason why I have become stronger in defeating my anxiety.
My mother and I may be polar opposites but we do have things in common. She is the best shopping buddy ever. She is always down for a good shopping day and we always shop till we drop. We always ask for each other opinions on the clothes we pick out just like any best friend would. Not only are we big shopping buddies but we are big TV junkies. We have TV always every night. We watch "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette", "Big Brother", "Scream", "Scream Queens", "I Love Lucy", and so much more I could mention but that would end up being over half my article. We sit on the couch and have a yummy dinner together as we glue our eyes to our TV all night. We also talk 24/7 no matter where we are or what we are doing. I could never get tired of talking her.
God has truly blessed me with such a wonderful mother like her. I wouldn't want anyone else being my mother. She is my mother, spitting image, best friend and most of all.... she is my person.
