family is essential. A lot of people think that I must have a seriously dysfunctional family based on my living situation. Really though, my family and I are incredibly close. I slept over at my moms last night and I truly realized how amazing and supportive she is.
We have our fights, trust me. But in the end, I am closer with her now, than most girls are with their moms ever. Our relationship is probably something you dont see very often. She knows everything that goes on in my life and gives me advice and love that keeps me going. She pushes me in directions that I know I should be going, even if I dont follow them sometimes. Not living with my mom has actually strengthened and already strong relationship. When she asks me the age old "How was school?" I can't wait to tell her, because I actually have a lot to say. I love having a mom that cares about me enough to not criticize the things I do, and the things I do wrong. There are plenty of parents that I know dont really trust her to make good decisions with me, based on the fact that we dont live together. I would just like to say, that her parenting exceeds any other mothers. She is letting me live with my sister, so I can stay at the school and city I want to be in. She lets me make my own mistakes instead of never letting me spread my wings. She lets me fall, but always lets me know she'll be there to catch me. She is a definate hero of mine.
That's really what a family should be.
ALL of my family is amazing. This includes Andy, my Dad, jade, and dylan. But mainly I just wanted to focus on my mom. Because I know that I used to really take her for granted.
She is the strongest woman I know.
