Today it is my lovely mother's birthday and so in honor of her birthday my list for this week will be mom themed. Here are 20 things I love about my mom. Prepare yourselves people, it's about to get mushy...
A List For Mom
- I love how you are the first person I want to tell when something exciting happens in my life
- I love how all of the kids you've taught over the years always think of you as their favorite teacher...because you're mine too
- I love that you read to me as a child and that our love of books and words is something we can share for life
- I love how you taught me to have an open mind about the world
- I love how you love the moon just as much as I do
- I love how you have always supported me in every single thing I've ever done or dream of doing...even if my dreams are incredibly lofty
- I love how you believe in my writing
- I love how you say "Good song!" when a song you like comes on the radio and how I've started doing the same thing without even realizing it
- I love how you've taught me to think for myself and have my own opinions on things...even if they're different from yours sometimes
- I love how you smell like warmth and safety and when I think of you I think of home
- I love how you're so good at comforting people when they're sad, including me
- I love when we bake things together
- I love how you've given me such good taste in oldies music
- I love how you love the three of us for different things, but equally
- I love it when I can make you laugh
- I love that you sang us lullabies when we were little
- I love how you put up with all of our craziness and still love us anyway
- I love how you've let me grow into my own person with my own ideas on things
- I love how you've taught me what it means to be a strong woman and all the fun things about being a girl
- And most of all I love YOU, not just as my mom, but as a whole person with her own ideas and thoughts and opinions and as my friend
Love & Chaos,
Sam
