My Mom

I love my mom. A lot. She is an amazing woman with a heart for anyone who appeals to her for help. She is very good at listening and understanding what you are feeling and saying, and she is the only person I know who cries for people in movies because she actually feels a person's pain.

She is extremely hospitable, and anytime people come over she really loves making sure they're comfortable and well fed and all those other wonderful things. She is also extremely thoughtful, and has an amazing capacity to remember people's likes and dislikes, and actually works around those as best she can.

She will go to the ends of the earth for her friends, and family, irrespective of how she feels about things.

Don't get me wrong, she has her vices as we all do. She has very high standards and loves to impose those standards on people around her, and she can be fairly opinionated, which can lead to me feeling like I've let her down, but for the most part we get on really well.

I think the key to our relationship is the fact that we are super honest with each other, and we hear each other out. We often spend hours together talking about anything and everything, spending time getting into each other's heads and really trying to feel what the other person is feeling.

While my mom and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, we both love each other very much, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with anything at any time.
