During the month of October, I’m also participating in the Ultimate blog challenge. So there will be days that I have more than one post up during the day! I’m going to be a very busy person this month huh? I’m starting with this challenge today.
Everyone has someone they admire. You can let that person know or admire them from afar! There are many people in my life that I admire. Some of them know and some don’t. I think it depends on if you fell comfortable enough with that person that you tell them!
Growing up I never thought of my mother as a friend. She was my mom. She was the one that told me what to do and not to do because she wanted what was best for me in my life. She may have grounded me when I brought home a bad grade, but now I know she just wanted me to do well in school. She may have told me not to do something that I wanted to do. I know now that she didn’t want me to get hurt if it turned out to be dangerous.
Over the past ten years, I have realized that my mom is my best friend. She’s the one that has been there for me my whole life. She’s the one that knows what my heartbeat sounds like from the inside. When I moved to Georgia, I called home every week. Just to talk about things. As soon as I got settled in to every day life in a new state the call started to drop. Now, I don’t call as much, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still admire my mom! She’s my mom! A girl will always need her mom no matter how far away life takes her!
A mother’s love is a beautiful thing.
A mother is a child’s first friend.
Love from a mother has no end.
A child’s love for a mother has no end.
A mother is a child’s first friend.
All the happy moments
in a child’s life
a mother is there.
All the bad moments
in a child’s life
a mother is there.
A mother is there through it all.
A mother’s love is a beautiful thing.
The post, the picture, the poem were so very sweet, and echo the love and friendship I have with my daughter almost as if you knew us! It is heartwarming to read about mother-daughter relationships which not only survived the teenage years when we are often so at odds, and that went on to be beautiful, loving, and full of respect and admiration.
Thank you so much! When we are growing up we think of our mothers as the woman who is trying to ruin our lives, but when in reality she’s just trying to prepare you for the real world! Thanks again for your sweet comment!
This is such a beautiful post 🙂 Thank you for sharing this Cate!
