Ten Things I Love About My Mom

  1. I love how she typically drinks nothing but water all day, which has got to be the biggest reason why her skin is so nice.
  2. I love how her hands are really soft and soothing when I’m sick.
  3. I love how she always listens, no matter what it is I’m talking about.
  4. I love how she tans super dark, and I always try to keep up with her. (This summer I’m doing really well!)
  5. I love how she reads like three or four books a week and passed on that love of reading to me (and now my sister is finally reading a lot).
  6. I love that she raised me watching horror movies, like Dracula and Freddy Krueger.
  7. I love that she is always there to help everyone, even if it means she loses out in the end.
  8. I love her sense of humor, and how my sister and I have such a good time with her bantering about nothing.
  9. I love that she will listen to me talk about my job/career field, and nod her head in all the right places, and still admit that she doesn’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
  10. I love how strong she is, physically and emotionally. She can push a shopping cart overflowing with groceries like it’s nothing, and she isn’t much bigger than me.
