Ode to My Mom

My Mom is amazing.. My best friend. I call her about 3-6 times a day on weekends, and at least 1 or 2 times on week days. If I'm not working - I call her about 15 times. When I was in High School, I would call her on the payphone outside of the lunch room..I would call her on the way home from school, and sometimes I would call her and ask her to pick me up - I did this because I missed her, and hated to be away from her! In college I would call her when I woke up, walked to and from class, and always a few times after that. If she didn't answer, I would get so mad and leave her "Drewwwyy, where are you?? You are neglecting me!" messages. I don't know what I would do with out my mom. Honestly, I don't. I can't imagine life without my mom, and I don't ever want to.

I owe my mom the world, she is the reason I am who I am. She is the reason I'm the type of mother I am. I see her in myself so many times throughout a day when I am with Cole. The things I do to make him laugh, are the things my mom did to my little cousins, and probably to me too. The way I soothe him, or cuddle him - are the ways I've seen my mother soother=/cuddle my cousins, and even my son. Cole just loves his Grama, he lights up when he sees her and gets so excited, and the way that she looks at him you can see how much she loves my son - how much she adores him.

I don't know if I can ever put into words what my mom means to me. And there is no specific reason for this post, besides the fact that I am so grateful for my mom. So thankful. So Humbled.

Thank you for all you do mom ... you are amazing. I sure hope Cole appreciates me some day as much as I appreciate you. Because it is an amazing feeling to have your mother your best friend...AMAZING....Thank you!

Love -- ME!

**Cole, your Grama is an amazing woman, and just loves you so much.I can see it in her eyes every time she looks at you. She just melts, and you melt right back. Do you know that she always wants to help other people before herself? Do you know that we would laugh and tell her she needed to get help because she doesn't know how to say No? and now she says no, and we don't like it (no often does she say no tho, but more so than she ever did)... Your grama has silly ways about her, ways that no one else will ever be able to compare to - she is just so darn silly. You love her hair, her hugs, and the way she makes you laugh. Only Grama can get that deep belly laugh out of you, that I crave to hear so much. You are so loved, so loved by your Grama, Grandpap, and so many other people - but there is no love like the way your mother loves you baby, no love comparable - I pray every night for you and I to have this relationship - and I know boys are different than girls, but I can dream for it right? :).**
