She may not be perfect, but she is extraordinary. Finding a mother who can be a parent and a friend all at the same time may seem pretty common, but she is anything but that. She is my drinking buddy, chika buddy, and rant buddy all in one. She takes in the crap that life throws at me and teaches me to grow flowers from it. I may not hug her or kiss her or say it to her all the time; I may yell and answer back but in the end, I hope she knows that I love her and would not be where I am if it weren’t for her. I would not be the strong, “tough” person that people say I am if she was not there to push me through every obstacle. She challenges me to be better, and with each morning— I know I am better. She may not be perfect, but she is one of God’s greatest gifts to me and I thank him each morning during each prayer because I still cannot seem to understand how I deserve someone as strong, as brave, and as extraordinary as her.
