happy mothers day to the best momma out there. you are a fake mom to many, and i'm so blessed you're my real mom. you taught me many things, but the greatest thing you taught me was how to love people. you have sacrificed so much for your children and we can't ever thank you enough for that. i want to share a story about one time when i just needed my mom. nothing else could make it better, except her.
i was a senior in high school the time i needed my mom the most. we were on our way back from an away game (side note, i was a cheerleader and she was one of the coaches--second side note, no i didn't make it because of her, she wasn't even allowed to be in the room when i was trying out). I was sitting in the back with my friends and she was sitting up front. not going in to details but things happened with friends that left me feeling like a loser and left me feeling angry and hurt and so many emotions. i was a senior in high school, i wasn't supposed to feel like the odd guy out on the playground anymore, but i did and it sucked. a lot. all i could do was get up and walk to the front to sit down with my mom. she immediately knew i wasn't okay and just held me while i sobbed the whole ride home.
it's the little things like that, that only mothers can do for their children. father's can be wise and offer comfort but not like that. she carried me around in her womb for 9 months--theres something about being comforted by your mother that brings you back to simpler times.
i never told my mom how much that meant to me. so mom, just so you know that meant everything to me. it didn't matter if i was losing friends that night because you held me and just let me cry. no questions were asked. thank you thank you thank you alfie!!!
i'm so lucky to have you as my mom. i don't know what i would do without you.
