For my Mom...
April 11th 2008 08:14
A friend of mine had a parent of hers pass away and it got me thinking. Here I am, in the middle of nowhere, not even close to a single family member. And there my mom is, in the same boat but further away from me than the rest of the family. What is going to happen if something happens to her and I can't be there? She's already been in the hospital since my move and there was nothing I could do, not even make a trip up there to see her.
So I want to say something, a keepsake of sorts, so that not only she knows how I feel but she can keep it with her.
Growing up, we were not the greatest mom/daughter team. We butted heads, said a lot that shouldn't have been said, and I did stuff that shouldn't have been done. But now that I have grown and have a family of my own, I see the error of my ways and can now call myself not only an adult, but a woman. But I would be none of that if it weren't for you. You are my strength, when I'm weak. You are my path when I am lost. You are my wisdom when my brain is fried. When I need a laugh, you're full of giggles. When I need a shoulder, you have the tissue. You are my world. You are my best friend. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful mother because without you, I wouldn't be me.
I love you!!
