I know for me, my mother is my best friend.  We gab on the phone a few times a week.  It is hard not living close to her but anytime I have truly needed her to be here, she is here in a flash.  She has supported me through all of lives trials and wiped my tears away.  I love you Mom for all that you have done for me throughout the years and thank you for all that you continue to do.  To sum it up, this has always been one of my favorite quotes and I think it really sums up the love of a mother 🙂  “My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.” – George Washington
