Happy Mother's Day!!

Today, I wish all the Moms I know a Happy Mother's Day!!  That includes pet mamas too, of course!  Instead of writing myself this morning...I am sharing what my youngest wrote for me for Mother's Day.  I'll stop crying later.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

This is a shout out to the most opinionated, strong willed, stubborn, sarcastic yet patient, caring, nurturing mothers I know.  My mommy.

I am responsible for every grey hair my mom has on her head.  From skipping school, throwing fits, to jumping off cliffs and wanting to go skydiving.  But every step of the way, no matter how far I pushed her, she pushed me back.  Then she told me she loved me with all of her heart.

I never could fathom the reason why after all the hell I put my mom through why she still wanted to buy me gifts, shower me with love, look for stuff while shopping to see if I'm interested in it.  She pursued my interests as if they were her own, researching new things just to keep me updated.  Just to make sure I was on top of it.

For all these reasons and much much more, I love my mom very much.

Now I don't want you to leave this blog thinking I never did anything for her.

When my mom had early signs of breast cancers, you best believe I called her everyday wanting an update even though I was 9 hours away.  I didn't care.  Every time I heard something new, I prayed that she would be alright.  She has been cancer free for something like 3 years now.  And last november I ran in the Race for the Cure 5k for her.  To show my support for her. (picture below)  I actually ran it on my own then turned around and went back for her. And I made sure she ran across that finish line as kind of a subtle saying that she can do anything.

I may not say it much cause I kind of keep my feelings to myself but my mom means the world to me.  I hate to say it but I have broken her heart before and I have to do it again real soon when I leave for Canyon in August.  She has always been one of the over protective mothers and I am the baby of the family, yet one of the tallest.

Mom.  I love you.  You have chased me to the ends of the earth just to hold me back from falling off the edge.  I have put you through more hell than Calvin and Dennis put together (comic book reference ask me later).  I know I haven't been the greatest son but I do hope that I have changed for the better and I am slowly becoming the son you can be proud of.  I love you mom.  Happy Mother's Day.
