My Mother's Love

Mom when you found out you were pregnant with me at such a young age you didn't think twice about aborting me or giving me up for adoption, you made the adult choice to step up and be a mother and work hard so you could take care of me and raise me to the best of your ability. Even though you went through so much with your relationship with my father you put me first and you didn't weaver away from that fact. You stayed home with me for the first two years of my life to care, love and teach me what you could before having to go out a get back to work. I may not be able to remember any of it but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate it because I do you were there for me when no one else was especially the man I called dad and the man you loved and soon to whom you'd call to be your husband. We struggled but you always seemed to find a way for us to make it and work through the hard times even with out dad around. We had the help of grandma of course which was great too. You taught me to be respectful, loving, caring, giving, helpful, go after my dreams & set my goals high and I'm thankful for that. You may have not been the one to teach me to tight my shoes or to ride a two wheeler but you taught me more important things in life treat everyone the same equal and to be friends with everyone. I know I wasn't the best child you could have asked for but even with my own troubled self you still were there for me daily. You were the one I went home crying to when I walked from school when I was being bullied, your the one that sat by my side during every seizure I had and even when I had to get blood drawn the first time and the day I found out I was bleeding in the brain you were there no one else was. You've been there for it all and your love is so unconditional so open and everything your the best mom any child could ask for, any child would be lucky to be able to feel your love, your want and caring soul because you are all those things plus more. No matter what bad words I used or the things I did to act out you still loved me. When we fight or even get along your love still shows because the power of your love as a mother shines through your beautiful eyes, your hugs and kisses and the way you always call me your boo boo or those other silly nicknames you've always called me since forever. You even made up a song just for me and even to this day I sing it to myself, it goes like this, Mommy loves Brittaney because she's mommies baby and when she wakes up in the morning she knows I'll always be by her side. That's the small but very simple words of the song you always sang to me.  Even now that I'm older and all grown up your love shows everyday even on the days we don't get along, it's always been your job to control me and my life from day one you were given that right as my mother my loving mother that loves me so much it makes you laugh when you know you have me where you want me but that's the great thing I may not like it or agree with it but it's your way of showing your love for me and how your still willing to fight for me, protect me from anything that can harm me. Your love has never failed to show, I may not understand what a mother's love is or what your love is for me but someday I will. Your my mom and now your my best friend. That's what my mothers love is. It's made up of so much and of so many big and small things I can't explain it all. Her love is so powerful, she is the most lovable unconditional respective caring mother I love and dear so much to my heart. My mother's love is true love, there is no other powerful love on earth besides my mother's love for me her child. That's my mother's love
