Mother's Day (that's tomorrow)

I've said it once, I've said it twice and I will probably say it a billion more times before I die. I love music. And not just for the beautiful melodies or entrancing voices but for all of it. Sometimes the lyrics can seem to fit your precise mood while other times just the meaning of the song can be so powerful that it is unexplainable. For mother's day I decided to make my mom a mixed CD, mainly songs she loved but also I threw on a few songs she didn't know. I put a few on that I thought she would end up liking but then I also placed a song on the CD that simply put exemplified my mom.

The cool thing about songs is that the meanings can be multiple. Though the artist may have an original decision and thought process about what the song means, it can become different for each and every person that listens to it. The song that was my mom happened to be one of those, "She is Love" by Parachute. The song can be meant just for a girl that the band likes, for a person that always stands strong and is there for them or for love in general. Ultimately, it's all up for debate about what the song is about. For me, the song just exemplifies my mom, being there for our hard times in life, staying strong when we are weak, showing us the hope, remaining strong, patient and encouraging.

My mom is one of the most important people in my life. I know it may sound corny or lame to say that or, that I am just saying it because tomorrow is mother's day. However, I say it because it's true. Though our relationship has never been 100% perfect, she still means so much to me. My mom has been here for me through thick and thin. My mom has been an example and a positive role model for all my life. My mom has shown me what a strong godly woman looks like. My mom is wonderful, and I love her dearly. My mother is love.

Dear Mom,
If you are reading this, which more than likely you are, I just want you to know that I love you so much. I am so blessed to have you as my mom. You truly are remarkable and have always been there for me in hard times, and I know you always will be. I am so grateful to have you in my life. You truly are one of a kind, and I am glad that you are my mother. I am sorry for the days where I have/will  misbehave/ be stupid/get on your last nerves/do the wrong things/get mad/or whatever else. I love you mom.
Love, Katie
