For My Mama

I told you I'd do another one.
My mama is the bravest, strongest, sweetest woman alive. Yes she has meltdowns, but don't we all? If we don't, I don't think we've been alive long enough.
My mama raised me by herself, because my dad died when I was really young, and that proves how strong she is. She went up against the people pressuring her to put me in public school, and she still homeschools me to this day, and I LOVE IT!
She's very sweet, she doesn't get mad at me if I forget something, just slightly annoyed, and she's never ever hurt me.
She understands my needs for books, and cats, and she encourages me to write in my books, and practice piano, and sing.
She's the kind of mom every girl needs.
The kind you can talk to about boys, fashion, books, and music.
She made me all my outfits back when I couldn't fit the store bought clothes, and even some of them now.
She goes out there, and mows the yard in the heat, because she doesn't have the money to pay someone to mow it, and no one would volunteer for free.
She goes places and does things because I wanted to.
She let me join 4H, and help out at the Animal Shelter, joined Choir at church.
She loves me as I am, and doesn't judge. She let me go to Youth Camp, when I know she didn't really want me gone for a whole week.
She will allow me to randomly hug her, even when its so hot that the grasshoppers would rather be on a hot skillet, because the skillet's cooler!
She lets me drink Mountain Dew, even though she knows how hyper I get while on it.
She's the best mom in the world, and if anyone dares to disagree, please watch out, because everyone at Youth Camp except one person thought I was dangerous with sharp objects of any kind, and I have several. Yes, there's mom's close to my mom, but none of them are as awesome as my mom.
I've never been a single mom, but I know it's gotta be tough, and my mom is gettin' through it, even though it gets tough sometimes. Like the time I ran a needle through my finger.
But my mom is the most amazing woman in the world, she always has been, and always will be, and I love my mommy so much! Even though I fail to wash the dishes like I ought to....
