Mothers Day!!

Today was Mothers Day, all around the world. A time for celebration, or for grieving. I gave my mom a new, springy purse and some very expensive chocolates. She shared them, and BOY were they good! Yum. Unfortunately, my mom was very sick today. She had to stay home from church, and all day long she was just really out of it. I feel so bad, I mean, its mothers day and she's sick. My poor mom. =[. My Dad and I went to church however. The sermon was awesome, all about parenting. It got kind of awkward though, when Pastor C was going on about looking into your child's heart. lol. Then I went to Sunday School, which was HILARIOUS. Gosh I'm going to miss that when I go to the high school one. Speaking of which, either next Sunday or the one after is the last Jr. High Sunday School class meeting. I'm so sad. After Sunday School Kris [the Sunday school teacher] drove me home. I babysit his kids so I know him really well. Then I ate lunch, and just relaxed. I watched POTC and had fun. I was on Young Rider for a good part of the day. I also talked to my neighbor over the phone, and helped her get her new computer started. LOL, shes so funny. I <3her. [This is Skyler's mom.] I think that we're going to buy the CD of the church sermon for my mom, because its basically to all mothers. She was really sad that she missed it.

And now, I just want to take a second to address everyone who's grieving today. Maybe they have not talked to their child/mom in weeks, months, or years. Maybe their child/mom has passed away. Maybe their relationship with their mom/child is very tough, and they think that they hate each other. Maybe a loved one is fighting overseas, and they miss them. Or maybe its just being missed in general. I know that I'm going to take time to pray for these people. May God bless them.

As for me, I'm extremely thankful for my mom. We may fight, bash heads, and seem to be on totally different pages of the same story [or maybe even a completely different book] sometimes, but we love each other. My mother supports everything I do, 100%. Without her, my life as I know it would end. Shes the voice of reason that this family needs. Lately, I've been wondering why we clash so much. I came to the conclusion that its because I'm exactly like her. Opinionated, stubborn, straight-forward, un-afraid, caring, smart, talkative, strong, independent, and a fighter. We both don't back down. Today I thank God for everything my mom has given me. I love you mom, and I know you must see yourself in me, and that's why you are so hard on me. Maybe that's why I'm so hard on you. I love you. Thank you.
