HI, MOM

What to say, for dad's it's usually my "Dad's better than you Dad" or "My Dad could beat up your Dad". However, I think everyone agrees mom's are the best. In the same way grandparents are the best, there's no question.

It's so much easier to talk to Mom than to Dad, because when you say something to her you feel like she listens. Anyway since this is about Moms, I'm not going to mention Dad anymore.

Besides being an amazing person, my Mom is probably one of the most intelligent and strongest people I know...

*haah*

sounds cliche, I know.

... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More than anything else though, I wish she's happy. Sometimes I see her and I think about all the times she's worked so hard for me. Some days are hard, she's upset and angry with work and at some level I feel responsible. My mom works for me, she fights the world for me, and when I need her she's there for me by my side.

Like everything else she's very capable, but if there was one thing she could work on it's that she doesn't pick up her phone. (oh and losing stuff... but I digress)

I like the world we like in because we're never that far away. If I need it she'll always just be one phone call away, if she picks up her phone that is.

For a large part of my life driving to school, she was my driver and I her passenger. I spent a lot of my teenager years sitting in her car. Every single day, rain or shine we'd drive together. Half of my childhood was spent in that car with her.

I got to see her every single day, and at that time I don't think I ever really appreciated what I had. Seeing my school friends every day, going to the same classes and meeting the same teachers.

My mom was always there next to be as we drove down the highway. Now, I know she wishes me well. I think she's always been my biggest supporter, the person who wishes me great success and happiness, even if it means I'll be far away from her.

Every year I maybe get to only see her a handful of times, because I know as well that if I don't try to pursue my own success I'll regret it in the future. Even though I'm busy living my life, I still think of her.

I like talking to her, because I'll always be her kid. I could be 40 years old and I'll probably still hear her ask if I've eaten yet.

My mom has her own friends, so I'm not that worried that she'll be lonely. I don't wish that I had more time to spend, because I know in my heart I'd squander it the same making the same decisions that I have in the past.
