I've said it several times (and it's not a bad thing) but I'm finding the older I get the more I become like my mom. Again, it's not a bad thing. In fact, I'm so lucky! I love my mom! She is my best friend, my hero, and I have always wanted to be like her when I "grew up." And here I am 26, married, a new mommy and I am happy to report that I am becoming like my mom. I find myself saying things like, "drink your water," and answering the question, "what's for dinner?" with, "food." Better yet, I have somehow developed the gift of her delicious baking. I am nowhere close to my mom as a baker but I am striving to be at least half as good as she is. I have found that living away from my mom for two years has only driven me to cling to the things that are uniquely her. I love that. And now that we are moving to Nebraska and I will once again be reunited with my mom I can only foresee amazing memories ahead of us. I have still a lot to learn from my mom and I am happy to be here student.
So mommy, thank you for being the amazing woman that you are. I love you and I hope that I have made you proud.
