Me & My Mom

 

 



If you knew me in real life, would you know that my best friend is my Mom...always has been, always will be.  My husband is a close second, but when someone has known you your entire life, well she's my best-est friend ever!

My husband is always teasing me when the phone rings and it's her on the other line or I pick up the phone and call her...even though we just spoke yesterday and tied up the phone for hours.  I can't help it,  she likes the same things I do, we share family, we have many of the same hobbies and if we need another opinion, we ask each other. 

I look at her gray hair, and her blown knee and her arthritis and it saddens me that she is getting old.  The women in my family tend to live along time, but I see the years wrinkling her face and I know I'm going to lose her one day and my heart breaks. 

So until she leaves me for heaven, I'm going to have to spend more time with her, do more stuff with her, enjoy her company and her wisdom and her sense of humor more.  I love you Mom.
