To My Mother......

Mother's Day is a special day to show appreciation for all that they do! There are many ways to describe the responsibility that Mother's face. A mother is a teacher, a nurse, a taxi driver, a cook, a referee, a party planner, a housekeeper, a nanny, a motivational speaker, a dog walker, a handy-woman, and a guidance counselor. Mothers are ready to take on the challenges that are presented to them. I am not yet a mother, but I can only imagine how challenging and rewarding it will be. I have an amazing relationship with my Mom and it has grown even deeper in the past few years. I think that I finally truly appreciate all that she has done and still does for me. My Mom is the most generous, thoughtful, sincere person that you will ever meet. She unselfishly gives her time to others and rarely makes time for herself. One of the things that I admire a lot is her dedication to taking care of my 91 year old Grandfather. She devotes her time to making sure that he is cared for and has everything that he needs. She devotes her days off work to driving him around on errands to get him out of the house. I know that she is treasuring her time with him and I really appreciate all that she does for him. My Mom has done a great job of raising my brother and I in a happy household because of her dedication to my father. They have been great examples of what it takes to have a strong marriage. I remember my Mom playing with my brother and I and how much fun we had with her. My Mom stayed home with us so we got to spend alot of time with her. Today, most mothers work and do not get to spend as much time with their children. It is just a different generation and both parents have to work today to support their family. I will most likely have to work when I have a family, but I know that our children will be in good hands.

She is my Best Friend and I tell her EVERYTHING! I have a special bond with my Mom. I can always tell her how I feel and I know she will understand. She encourages me to do my best and to take care of myself. She is goofy and silly and I think that is where I get some of my characteristics. When she knows that I am stressed she will do anything in her power to help me. Now that I am older she doesn’t have to do those things, but she still does. I am getting a little emotional right now thinking about how much she means to me. I hope that someday when I have children that I can be the kind of mother to them that she is to me. So remember, it’s important to tell your Mother how much you appreciate everything she does EVERY DAY, not just on Mother’s Day!
