The wisest woman in my life.

I just got off the phone with my mother and I feel relaxed, peaceful and content. Before that phone call I was a total wreck and picked a fight with my husband just because he couldn't keep up with my energy while having a conversation. Petty. I know. But he easily gets into my nerves these days.

My mother seems to know the exact words to say. She makes me laugh, she makes me see things in a better perspective withough being pushy. It must be all those years of experience that makes her the wisest woman in my life.

I miss her dearly and I wish she were here with me now. Funny how we always argue about everything but she is still the person I love to have around the whole time. Her presence is like a soft, comfortable blanket. Everyday is okay when I see my mom come down in her floral house dress and soft slippers. She can command this household while reading the morning paper and she is the only person who can make me instantly better when I'm sick.

She's the best mother there is. Hands down. It makes me think if I can be as good as her when my time comes - and its coming soon on December. Its a big responsibility I know. But as mama would say, even if you make mistakes, just give your child lots of love, through giving a lot of your time. Yes, she has always been around for me and my siblings. Every school activity, picnic, beach outing, birthday, graduation, sport event, you name it. Mama was always present.

I love her so much.
