My Mom

by Gene | February 23, 2009

So before I started this post, I looked for a quote to put that might sum up my mom, but I couldn’t find one that said how I feel. There were ones that explained parts of her, but nothing that fully explained how I feel. There was Gene Simmons talking about how his mother is probably the wisest person, there was Tenneva Jordan talking about how her mother was somebody who was giving, but no disrespect to their mothers, my mom is more so than theirs.

My mom always knows when something is wrong. I don’t even have to say there is, she just has that sense. I always know that I can go to her with any problem and I’ll get her advice. I know that she’ll always hear me out even if I’m wrong, then she’ll explain why I’m wrong. She is somebody that will just listen and understand like nobody else can. She is somebody who I can have a good laugh with. In fact, the other day, we were talking about a shirt she saw that said “Save 2nd Base” for breast cancer awareness, so I said “I should make a shirt that says my home plate is clean is yours” talking about STD’s. And she started laughing and we just talked about stupid meaningless shit, but she told me that it meant so much to her and that brought the biggest smile to my face.

My mother is one of the most influential people in my life and I don’t want to know where I’d be without her in it. Everybody says that men marry women like their mother, well if I marry somebody like her, I wouldn’t complain. This is why I consider my dad one of the luckiest men in the world.

I love you Mom!
