"Mom"

Today is my moms 64th birthday..We went out to Walmart which is her favorite store,( mine too) and we took the kids to McDonald's. We went to my Mother in laws house and bought a cake for her and sang "Happy Birthday" to her.. It was a pretty nice day..

My Mom and I...

We have not always had the best relationship. We fight way more than we should and disagree on a lot of things. My mom has a learning disability and had problems in school, she did not go to far in school because my grandmother didn't want the other kids to make fun of her. So that didn't help with her life growing up. There was many things that my mom didn't understand and couldn't help me understand as a teen. I always felt sad that I couldn't do those mother/daughter things and have those girl talks. I felt like I missed out on those things. It even made me mad at her at times..


But as I grew up and became a mom, I realized that she was a MOM to me in all the ways that really mattered. It's not the grade you go to in school, or how smart you are. It's how you love, and she loved me completely. She has always been here for me when times get hard. That is exactly what a Mom does...So I don't feel like I lacked anything, I feel blessed that she was picked to be my "MOM".
