What my Mom Means to Me

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” ―Washington Irving



We  all have those extraordinary people in our lives. My mom is without a doubt one of those people. She is a loving, kind, thoughtful, caring and devoted mother. My mom has made unimaginable sacrifices in her life for the benefit of me and my family; all out of the goodness of her heart. Not once does she take things for granted. It would be impossible to write about all the things she has done for me because the list is endless. A mother's love for her child is unperishable.

Whenever I am feeling low-spirited, my mom is the go-to person. I can tell her anything, and I know she will listen and give me advice. Often when she knows that I am feeling low, she will do anything in her power to make me feel better. Whether it is making my favorite dinner, watching a tv show with me, simply rubbing my back, or driving me to a friends, my mom sacrifices everything of hers to make sure that I am happy.  I always know that whenever I feel lost in my life, my mom will be the one there to help me get back on course.

My mom was a therapist before becoming a stay at home mother. Not only is she helpful when it comes to dealing with my problems, but she gives me advice so I can help other people deal with theirs. If I am having trouble with someone or something, she patiently sits down with me, addresses the issue, and helps me resolve it. She is there to tell me what I am doing well, and there to help me out with the things that I am doing badly. I am grateful for this helpful quality she possesses. 

My mom sacrifices things in her life to make me happy. I cannot think of how many times she has had to cancel on someone because an event popped up in my life, or had to wake up at 5am for a sports game of mine. I can tell that this sometimes upsets her, but she tries to be calm about it. Often, she does things for me undesirably, but does them because she loves me. 

If it was not for my mom, I would not be the type of person I am today. She does all of these things for me because she truly cares for me. Even when she feels lousy; which lately is most of the time, she never stops being the amazing mother she is. I am proud of my mom, and will I always be proud of her. I love her to death.

Happy Mothers Day Mom!
