Who I actually never refer to as mother, always mummy or mum.
She just had a milestone birthday and I had to miss it (I miss my whole families birthdays, except Maddison) so here goes another post on my other parent. Now you'll all know why I am the way I am, because I have exceptional parents!!!
Every girl dreams of having a mother she can call a friend, but unfortunately in life it doesn't always work out that way. I really feel for girls who aren't close with their mothers because mine always has been a friend and confidant whenever I need it. When I'm stressed I can call her and she'll work things through with me, when I need money she's there to lend it (A LOT of it!), she's the best clothes shopping partner I have (except when she makes me try on really expensive gorgeous dresses that I can't afford which usually end up being Christmas or birthday presents anyways), she even was the first one to hear every detail of my blossoming relationship with Jeremy on a two hour trip back from Seattle as I began falling hard.
People say you will never not need your parents, and although I'm still young I entirely believe this to be true. Day after day I find myself asking questions, how things work, basically how this whole funny world operates. My mum is like a fount of knowledge, I swear she knows everything and I still am at a loss without her sometimes. Especially in restaurants, half the menu I don't understand and she used to always be there to explain, I miss that. Even as I'm growing on my own she's still always there for me to go to when I need help, and when the world won't take me seriously, you better believe she's there to tell them off for not respecting her 21 year old daughter that should be treated like an adult!
She's the perfect balance of every trait needed in a parent and so fun all at the same time. Writing this message really is hard as it's making me realize how much I truly miss her! I really pray that when I have children I'll know how to raise them exactly the same way, because it was truly perfect parenting in my eyes.
Before I left we had so many amazing times together and talks and I look forward to many in the future! I miss grocery shopping with you, watching movies on your bed with the pups, going on day trips, basically I just miss you tons!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday, sorry for the belated post (that cold just knocked me out!)
My mum has been a part of every step in my journey to get here and the love my parents constantly poured into me has enabled me to grow and blossom on my own out here in what feels like a million miles away!
My parents have taught me the morals, values, and lessons I need and in turn have been able to trust in me and grant me with friendship, guidance, and so much love. I am beyond blessed that my parents met and fell in love and that I got to be raised under that love. Thank you both, we'll have to skype again soon!
P.S. Stay tuned for a Florida update, I promise it's coming...
