Expectations are too high for this day of the year. Kids are selfish pricks who don't care that their mothers "area" got permanently damage for them. No respect. Mothers everywhere go to sleep on the Eve of Mothers Day hoping to wake up to some sort of surprise... Anything would really do it this year after years of disappointment.
I let my mom give me a hug in public this year. So I pretty much gave her the best gift of all time. Even though my other posts on this blog are so open and honest I am normally very closed off and stoic. My mom does everything she can to be there for me when I do need advice or pry when I don't want to talk about things (but probably should.) She assures me that I'm allowed to make mistakes as long as I learn from them and that it's okay to put my feelings ahead of others sometimes.
When I was first diagnosed with my mental disorders she was nothing but supportive and accepting. Mom shows me directly and indirectly that life is a beautiful thing; a gift tha we should never take away from ourselves. My mother supports my decision to find a career that involves my passion. She believes in me when I doubt myself and she encourages me to work hard and appreciate the value of money. Mom doesn't let me use my mental disabilities as an excuse for anything but she understands that some days are harder then others; she balances perfectly on a very thin line.
Mom set a great exaple of a life path I am sure to follow. I can do what I love now and if that changes, or I face different circumstances I can go back to school and change my career. She has experienced so much in her life so far, and has so much more to see, so many more adventures to experience.
She is an amazing woman who I value and respect. She also gave me some amazing good looks so I have to love her, even if I never say it.
So Happy Mothers Day to the most beautiful, strong, determined, and occasionally funny mom in the entire world.
Love,
Megan
There is always a moment in life where you smile, cry, laugh out loud or may be funny (occasionally). Thank you for sharing another small piece of you through this blog. You may not say it out loud but I know you love me. You show it in so many other ways than words. A Mom knows these things.....
ReplyDeleteAs your Mom: I wish you joy. I wish you happiness. I wish you the love of a someone special. I wish you the friendship of those who lift you up when you need it . I wish you the pride in your children and the things that they achieve like I have. I wish you satisfaction in a job well done. I wish for you so many more things. I mostly wish for you a life filled with the strength of conviction in who you are and what you stand for.
You are wise beyond your years because of, and in spite of, me.
Ps. Your welcome for the pretty face.... :-)
