A mother is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. When everyone else turns away, she is the one turning towards you, when you fall, she’s the one that helps you up and when your heart is filled with despair, she’s the one that gives you a glimpse of hope. The day a child is born, so is a mother. The woman was always there but it wasn’t until the second their little baby was born that a mother was born. A mother and her child have a special bond that only they can understand. You can fool most of your friends most of the time, but you can’t fool mom. She sees right through you and always knows what’s wrong. Once she gives you that special hug everything seems okay and even though you never want her to let go, the feeling lasts forever.
There’s a point it every kids life when sitting next to mom in public is the most embarrassing thing possible or kissing mom in front of your friends is pretty much social suicide, but that doesn’t take away from how much we truly love them. From the day you first learn to ride your bike and your first day of school to your high school graduation and the day you get married, every kid says six words that they don’t mean, “You can let go now mom”. Even though we say it, deep down we still want them to hold on. It’s all still a little bit scary and we’re not ready to do it on our own.
Although sometimes it may seem like your mother hates you, and all she ever does is yell at you, recently I discovered she only does this because she loves you. Mothers love their kids as much if not more than you love them and they only want the best for you. She has been through all these things before and she wants to save you from making the same mistakes. She is looking out for you because she hates to see you hurt.
One thing a lot of kids forget to do is tell their mothers how thankful they are for everything they do and how much they love them. On May 13th everyone in the world sets aside one day to do what we should do every single day, tell our moms that we love them and that that will never change. Even though sometimes we yell at our moms and say “you’re the worst mom in the world”, deep down we know it’s quite the opposite. That’s what Mother’s Day is for, to let your mom know that you never meant the harsh words and that you never will.
In conclusion, everyone has a best friend and everyone has the friends that they call their best friend forever, but the only girl in my life that I’m positive will be my best friend forever is my mom. She has been there from my first breath to my first broken heart and I know that no matter what I do she will always be there full of forgiveness and will provide the shoulder I can cry on. Not only is she my best friend but I am her best friend too. She was there for my first breath and I will be there for her last, and we will be together for everything in between, because a mother is the best friend anyone could ever ask for.
