Everyone knows that this is me. 100%. I talk to my Mom every single day for at least an hour and without it I'm pretty sure I would die. either that or go insane. I know that a lot of people thing I'm too dependent, or clingy, I know that other family members are irritated or annoyed. I know that sometimes Doug get's jealous. All these things, I know. The ting is that MY MOTHER IS MY VERY BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. I would do anything for her, I need her like I need oxygen and the thought of life without her honestly makes me go straight into a panic attack. Without her I would be like a fish out of water, gasping for breath. I talk to her about everything, I go over my stupid fears, I talk over my ever changing emotions about Autism, I whine about my frustrations with church or school or goals, I get advice about parenting and marriage and friendship, she reassures my insecurities and she gives me instructions on making the perfect lemon bars. I love every minute of it. Hopefully I am a sounding board and a support for her as well but in the end all I know is that my time talking to her is my life line. This Mother's day she was traveling so I couldn't get ahold of her until late but I was thinking of her every minute of the day- making my mental list of things I needed to tell her, questions I wanted to ask and things I needed to say. Even after we hung up I went to be thinking about how blessed I am. I really do have the most amazing, talented, loving and beautiful mother on the planet. She knows me. She loves me for me and she has taught me how to be myself, how to stand up for myself, how to sew, how to be self-less and giving and still self assertive. She has taught me self-worth and integrity. She has taught both me and my kids that family is the most important thing. She has shown me how to support and disagree and love wholeheartedly all at the same time. I LOVE MY MOM and there just isn't enough time in the world to soak up all that she has to give. She is my Mary Poppins.... Practically Perfect in Every Way!
