Happy 43rd Birthday Mom!

"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."

"Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together."

 

"If you have a mom, there is nowhere you are likely to go where a prayer has not already been."

"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.  A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."

WOW so many good quotes for mothers, but I rather share my own thoughts now =) My Mom's birthday is today, and as you can see she's turning 43. Yup, she's still young! But more than that, she's young at heart. My Mom is one of my closest friends, the other two being Dad and Nick. I absolutely love everything about her, and wish I told her that more often. I talk to my family once a week if we find time for each other and even then, the conversations last 2 minutes each. When we're together at home, we can talk for hours and hours. But more than that, we can fight. We are so damn good are arguing about anything and everything. WHY? 

I wish I could control what I'm about to say at all times because I know that I would be yelling a lot more at home. I really wish that I could express my love, gratitude and respect towards my Mom at all times, but it's not my fault...we're so extremely similar that our personalities clash! I guess that's a good thing though because I love everything about my Mom-her values, her thoughts, her feelings, etc. It's really awesome knowing that I'm just like her =p even though that is mad creepy to those that know the both of us haha. 

I know that we won't change. I know that we'll always stay the way we are with each other. So because of that, I use her birthday, Mother's Day and her anniversary to show how much I really love her, even if she knows it all the time. My Mom is amazing-I don't need to say it for her to know. She just knows it. I love talking to her. I love arguing with her. I love laughing with her. I love ganging up on Dad with her. I love love love her. I love listening to her thoughts because they're usually the same ones that are running in my mind. 

I am proud to be a daughter of someone so strong, so amazing. I am proud to be a daughter of someone that cares so much about...everything. I am proud of her for all that she's done. And I always will be. You've done a hell of a good job with Nick, and I wish you could see that just as everyone else does. You're accepting, you're caring, you're loving, you're sweet. If there's one thing I could do, it's to take away all the pain you feel and give you all of my happiness. You deserve the best, and I hope that you know that. 

I love you <3 

Appreciate your Mothers. There's no one else in the world like them.
Happy 43rd Birthday <3
So long <3
