Time With Mom

I spent my day today with mom. She picked me up around 12:30, we went to lunch, then did a lot of Christmas shopping together. I really enjoy spending time with her and our Saturday "outings." I just love the time, talks, and memories we create. I look up to her and think she is the most amazing women I have ever met. She is so smart, and she has so much advice for me, and she is always so excited to hear about my life, my week, what goes on, she is just always so interested in me. She is seriously the ONLY person in my life who genuinely seems excited for me and interested in me. My dad cares, I know he does, but he just doesn't even show it. He is a very busy man running his business and I always am on the back burner. My sister is there, she cares, but she doesn't seem to care as much as my mom. My mom just seems so proud of me and who I am, where I am going, what I have accomplished, and she just really is the only one who I call and tell good news, or who I look forward to talking to because I know she will listen. She always has such great advice for me, she knows what to say when I'm down, how to cheer me up, she knows/senses when things aren't right with me, she is just always there to lift me up. I seriously hope I can be 1/2 as good of a mom as she has been to my sister and I. She genuinely wants the best for me/us. She would do anything in the world to make Christina and Is life a better one than she had. She would give up everything for us. I just can't even begin to thank her enough or show her how much I appreciate her and how much I love her. One day I know we won't have these Saturday outings and I just want to cherish each and every second I have with her. She is just such an amazing women. She has built up such a great life for herself and our family. It is definitely because of my mom our family is the way we are. She holds everything together in times of tribulation, she makes everyone happy and get along, she keeps calm and collected even when there are big things going on, she never shows she is worried or anything, she always seems to think everything will be okay and she reassures us that it will. I just hope I can be like her when I become a mom! I hope and pray God gives me 1/2 the qualities she has. I love my mom so much! <3
