My Mama Bear

My mom does this thing sometime every year where she will get me a stuffed animal of some sorts. Sometimes it's on my birthday, sometimes it's just on her way back from a teacher conference, but once a year I will come home to a stuffed puppy or a pretty Hedwig duplicate.

Today was a rough day. I was faced with a decision that was incredibly difficult for me and I was put in a position where I possibly had to let my friends down and give up something I really wanted for a prior commitment.

In a moment of complete hysterics, I called my mom sobbing. She listened as I choked out my dilemma and provided me with not just one solution, but several in which she was completely calm and willing to help.

Mom and daughters fight. It definitely is no different in my household.

However, my mom is the strongest, smartest, woman I know and there is no one else in this world I would trust with a crisis than her.

So as I cuddle the little brown puppy from the Seattle Airport and plan my saved SoCal trip I revel in how thankful I am for my Mama. <3
