Ok, so I know I have not written in a while but not having internet readily accessible to you kind of makes it hard.
But this morning I was listening to Pachelbel's Canon and I was thinking about my sister's wedding coming up in a year and how when we were little we always dreamed about weddings and that song and how perfect it was. Although I don't anticipate her having it played in her wedding I just will always make the connection with that song and our childhood. As I thought about it I was also thinking about how much it means to me to have such an amazing family and how close we all are. I was so lucky to have the childhood that I had and to grow up the way I did. Not many kids can say that.
I am so lucky to be able to enjoy classical music (Thank you Mommy) and to be able to have a greater understanding of the world around me (again thank you Mommy).
With that I thought about my mother, and I only have one thing to say. YOU ROCK!
I thought about my friends, yeah they are great and all, on the good days. But my best friend, in the entire world, is my mommy. I know, I am 22 and yes, I still call her Mommy. That will never change. She has created in me only the best of me, all the other stuff, I wish I could say was her fault but I can't. She is indeed my best friend. She stands by me in the times of need and all the other times to but I can count on her in the absolute times I need her when no one else is there. She tells me what I NEED to hear even if it is not what I WANT to hear. She made me become a adult when it was time and not a minute too soon. Can anyone else honestly say this about their best friend? I highly doubt that. And for this I am truly grateful.
I find something, I swear a new thing, every day that makes me a little more like her and it is ok because she is an amazing woman. I, unlike some of my other friends, am proud to be like my mother and to be following in her genes. I can honestly say that it is ok.
I love you Mommy!
