Mother's Day

today i want to thank my mom for all she's done...like the time she...
showed me that everything will eventually go on sale
and if it doesn't that there will always be more money
or the time she let me go by myself on trips
because she knew i'd learn from it

thanks also for
allowing me to be independent
but always being there when i needed my mommy

for being there for me when the boy i loved decided he didn't love me anymore

for always being at my beckoning call
whether it was 10 o'clock and i needed my light turned off
or 6 am and i'd just had a bad dream
there was always room for me in the bed

and also for always allowing me to be the DJ in the car
and listening to whatever music i chose

thank you for listening to me sob about high school
and kicking me in the butt in college to "just pass"

thank you for taking me shopping whenever i needed to just get away
which was always
and you always paid

you are my best friend
and was there when all my friends weren't there for me
and boys were being dumb
which will never end
so i hope you're ready for that
because i never seem to be

there are a lot more things i could say
but basically thank you very everything you've done for me in the last 20 years
and thank you for everything you will do
the next years to come
for as long as God allows me to have you here

best friends
