17. We love you, moms. Thanks for being you.
16. Your mom is your biggest fan and your unwavering support, but most of all, she's your hero.
15. And it’s easy to take her unconditional love and forgiveness for granted.
14. It’s easy to forget that she’s a real person with a life, because she’s made you her first priority.
13. And she always knows how to make you feel better.
Even if you irrationally take your anger out on her.
12. She picks up on your moods without you needing to say a word,
Is it a sixth sense, or something? It's eerie.
11. And she'll drop everything to be there for you.
No matter what.
10. You can talk to her about anything and everything-
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
9. And she’ll always tell you the truth.
Face it- she's smarter than you are.
8. She's always there to protect you, and gave you the tools you need to protect yourself.
She basically taught you self-respect.
7. Your mom knows all of your quirks and faults, and she loves you anyways.
Even the really gross, unlovable stuff, like your weird toe infections or embarrassing headgear.
6. Your mom is the BEST person to shop with.
Not necessarily because you have the same taste, but because she knows what you like, offers to pay, and knows when you’re too cranky to go on.
5. She’ll listen to you brag without secretly hating you for it, because she’s genuinely proud to see you succeed.
She's basically the perfect friend.
4. She drove you around before you could drive yourself.
You were too young and naive to appreciate this way back when. Take the time to thank her now.
3. She always has tissues when you need them.
And an umbrella. And a sweater. She's basically equipped to handle any of your spontaneous needs.
2. She knows how to cure any wound or illness.
Without GOOGLING, even. How does she do it??
1. She loved you through your teenage years, when you tortured her the most.
No one else could have- or would have- put up with your crap.
