Mother’s Day is coming up, so most of us think of now as a time to show our appreciation for our mother’s. But of course, one day of the year is not the only time you need and appreciate your mom, even if it’s the only time you say it. Something in us will always be a child who needs their mom, just like they will always look at us as their baby.

They always find what you need. Here you are, frantically searching your house trying to find that one item. Your mom will know exactly where it is or how to find it. For my mom, she usually put it in some random place that doesn’t make sense, but nonetheless, she knows where she put it or where I stuck it.

They always feed you. I mean, of course, she’s your mom, she’s supposed to feed you but honestly, think of how much your mom gets you food. My mom is notorious for forgetting to pull something for dinner out of the freezer for dinner, or telling me as I’m already almost home that there is nothing there for dinner. But she always pulls something together to cook or offers to make me a grilled cheese or something.

They know everything about you. Sometimes more than you probably want them to know, sure. Let’s face it, moms are nosey. But they know you. They’ve been there for every step of your life. They know when you're upset or angry, and normally know just what to do in these situations.

They try. Sometimes too hard. My mom has always called herself the cool mom. Now whether or not that is true, she has always tried to be there for me and provide for what I’ve needed... She would drive me and my friends around. My house was the center for getting ready for dances. Whether it be gifts on Christmas, or doing your homework at the kitchen table, or as you get older money to help with gas or college; mothers are always there to help.

Mother knows best. I always think of the song from Tangled, the mother saying “Mother knows best, listen to your mother,” And like the mother in tangled it’s possible that your mom isn’t always right about everything. No one is, we’re all humans here. But more often times than not, your mom has been right in whatever advice or rules they have given to you.

They’ll always love you. Your mom has loved you since the day you were born, if not before as they carried you. No matter how much we grow up, mom’s will always think of you as their little baby, and will love you as such. Nothing you do, no matter how bad, your mom will love you. She can get really angry and upset sure, but she still loves you. I think me and my brother have set a perfect example of this for my mom.
