Remember how I have the best momma in the world?

Well, you better remember now. I know this is the very cliché post for Mother's Day, but really folks, I have been meaning to give a shout out to the best mama in the entire WORLD. That's right, folks, my mom is better than all of yours combined. We are all biased with our mamas, so I feel my bragging is a god-given right.

My mom is my best friend. Not many people can say that. Seriously though, I love hanging out with her. We talk daily and we talk about everything. My favorite times was when I lived in New York. Every morning, at nine o' clock, we would call each other and talk about our plans for the day. We still check in with our days, interesting things that are going on, and whine about our lives. It really is great. 

Nimmer is seriously one of the funniest people I know. Whether it's doing the camel dance (y'all are lucky you have never witnessed either of us doing it), telling jokes the wrong way, trying to figure out how to work the computer or texting (she is a texting genius now. The beginning was a little rocky), or just talking about life, she always brings a smile to my face and a laugh to my voice. We laugh constantly together and always have a great time.

 Really though, my mom is the strongest woman I have ever met. She is courageous and takes life as it is. Yes, she has her down moments, but she is always able to pick herself up and help others. She has taught me to take life in stride and continue going. She has helped all of us on our ways through life--especially mine. The past year has been hard for all of us, but she has been a beacon of hope and love in all our lives.

I am so grateful for for my mom's example and presence in my life. People compare me to her and I take it as the biggest compliment I could ever receive. She has always been by my side and has helped me through the rocky times and celebrated the good times. She has shown me how to be compassionate and to take care of others. She truly is the best mother anyone could ask for. I am amazed at her strength, beauty, poise, and commitment to life. I look up to her and she has never let me down. I can't wait to be a mother one day because I know I will carry the traits that she has with us kiddies.

Nimmer, I love you so much. Thank you for always being there for me. I know it's been rough and I have caused grief, but I am so grateful that you have picked me up and carried me to where I am now. You are amazing and wonderful. Thanks for being the best mom and my best friend. I love you to the moon and back.

Cheers
