Son wants to tell mom how special she is
o7 moth*er (muth’er) n. 1. A female parent. 2. To care for like a
mother; nourish and protect.
f7 Hmmm? That sounds very much like my mother, but there is more to
my mother than that. Her attitude toward life, toward me (I am 14), and
my little brother, who is 10. She pulls off being our mother about as
close to perfection as it gets.
There are many reasons I think my mom is so great. When I wake up in
the morning, she’ll ask, with a big smile on her face, if I want
pancakes. If I’m at home on a weekend, she’ll offer to take my friends
and I to a skate park, or a movie, or something else fun. Last year,
during one of our weeks off, she took my brother and I to Hawaii for the
first time. It was a lot of fun.
It’s more than just travels and treats that make her great. Things
beyond words, like the feeling of comfort I get when she is around or the
advice she gives me. When I get home from somewhere, she tells me that
she was worried -- little things like that. Things that show me she loves
me and that she cares. These are the things that make my mom so great and
some of the many reasons that I love my mom so much.
