A mother is there to comfort, to teach, to love, and to always believe in her children. A mother is one of the first people that a baby is connected with, and there is a special bond between her and her child. Without a mom, a daughter can have a missing part in heart and a lack of womanly advice at times.
As I look back at my life in the past 16 years, I could never imagine what my life would look like without a mother. No Mother’s Day cards would have been written. No art projects or pictures would be brought home with a picture of what vaguely looks like a mom on it. No hugs from mom at the end of a hard day would have existed. And the words “I love you mommy” would never have been uttered.
My mom, Susan Johnson, was and still is a big part of my life. She has always kept a joyous heart and a persevering spirit. She has taught me my morals and beliefs, comforted me through hard times, given me advice countless times, has always believed in me, reprimanded me when needed, and has always loved me. As a young girl, I remember her playing with me in my kiddie pool or dancing to old records on the record player at our house. She was always willing to give of her time and of herself in order to nourish the needs of her daughters. As I got to the age of grade school and the dreaded homework once a week, she was always willing to sit down and help me with schoolwork. When my eighth grade year rolled around, and I was freaking out over my four year plan, my mother eagerly gave advice to me. Even now as I am in high school preparing for college, I know that she is behind me one hundred percent.
The little things that my mother has done have meant a lot to me too. Hugs given late at night when I am trying to finish my homework, notes from my mom in my lunchbox, or cookies when I come home after the first day of school have always made my day. That is one of the special things about my mom, she shows that the simple things in life can be the ones most worthwhile.
My mom has taught me many things in life, but one that is the most important out of all of them is love. By loving me, my mom has taught me how to love others as much as I can. She has also given me her optimistic outlook on life (and her shortness, apparently). I hope that one day I can be a loving and joyous mother just like she has been to me.
Happy Birthday Mommy! I love you.
