I always thought the older I got, the less I would need my mom, and though it’s somewhat true that I don’t need her as much, (I mean, I take care of making sure I eat dinner and I can tie my own shoes and drive myself places… 🙂 )  it’s more that I don’t need her in the same ways I did before. There’s still nothing like calling my mom when I have a problem I’m really upset about, or to share something I’m really excited about. I don’t think I’ll ever stop needing her for that. And of course, I will never stop trying to make her proud. I think the best feeling a person can have is that feeling when you know you’ve made your mom proud. In my book, that’s one of the biggest accomplishments you can get 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you guys have an awesome weekend celebrating your mom, and the mom-like ladies in your lives!
