Mother’s Day celebrates the women in our lives that have laid down their lives for us. Mothers are the one that shape us into what they want us to be and shape us into what we will be.
When I was growing up, I didn’t consider my mom to be my best friend. She was my mom. I was a kid that wanted to play with my friends from the neighborhood and my friends from school. She was my mom; not my friend. Then when I got older I started to realize that my mom was a friend, but just happened to be my mom at the same time. She wanted me to be who I wanted to be, but also what she wanted me to be.
When I moved I realized that she is my best friend and really always has been. She may have had certain rules while I was growing up that I didn’t like, but she made them because she wanted me to be safe. Momma is my best friend and I wish her the very best Mother’s Day!
