That, to me, will be the greatest achievement of all, just being so in love with…
I miss my mom. I miss her terribly. This isn’t something that bothers me usually, it’s been almost 13 and a half years that she’s been gone now. I’ve learned to carry on just fine. I don’t get upset when people ask me about my mom, or when I have to tell them that she died. I always hear the “I’m so sorry to hear that’s”, and “I’m sorry I brought it up.” She was crazy. She was fun. She was loud. She was competitive. She was caring. She was strong. She was responsible. She was amazing. But most of all, she was my mom. No one can ever replace a mom. NO ONE. No one can take the place of someone who brought you into this world. I just miss having my mom. I miss her laugh. I miss her loud mouth. And I know she would have embarrassed me to high hell if she was still here. And I know ALL of you would have loved her; that’s just the kind of person she was. I wish that I could just come home and talk to my mom, tell her all about my guy problems. And I know she would help me try and reach my goals with all she could. I know things would have been a lot different with her here, a lot easier in fact. I cannot complain, for I have the most amazing aunt and grandma. (which my aunt is my mom’s sister and my grandma my mom’s mom.) They help me through everything and support me all they can. This is something that does bother me though. There are so many people that I know who do not appreciate their moms, or dads for that matter. Your parents. I know that no one is perfect and trust me on that, if you know my dad you would understand. But after everything my dad has put me through I still love my dad and would never give him up for anyone else. I wish more than anything that I could have my mom back. It hurts me when I hear people saying how they hate their moms because they got into a fight or because their mom may act psycho or maybe their mom just has problems. You need to understand that no one is here forever. Just imagine if your mom or dad died tomorrow. What would you do? It is so important to appreciate what you have and love what you got while it is still on this very earth, because once it’s gone chances are you aren’t going to see them again for a long time. Please appreciate your mom and dad. It is hard to do I know. I have the same problem. But I promise you hanging out with them, or fighting with them, or laughing with them…it is all worth it. Spend time. Laugh. Live. Enjoy it while they are here. I would do anything to see my mom one more time. Just to talk to her, just to touch her. But I know she is watching over me, taking care of me still. I feel her every day. I know she is there. But it’s hard. Really hard. I know I’ll see her again one day.
Sorry for all this rambling, and I’m sorry if I come off as a bit preachy. But i can’t help it. this was just something that i had to get out and something i wanted to write. please dont feel sorry for me…because i am doing ok. i dont want anyone to feel sorry for me because i am not that type of person. i just wantted to share something so people will understand where i am coming from and possibly learn from it. ——STRAWBERRYTELLE
