MOTHER'S DAY!!!! YAY!!!! Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's of the world. We couldn't have done it without you!
I like Mother's Day. Gives me one more reason to celebrate moms. True, I'm not always in agreement with my mom, but that doesn't mean I don't love her. Me and my mom share a special bond, especially since I am the only daughter my parents have. Not everyone has this bond, and it makes me appreciate *THAT* much more. I have friends who don't get along with their moms at all. But I have other friends that absolutely adore their moms. GOOD FOR THEM! I hope you appreciate your moms, especially because (And I quote): "They brought you into this world, they can take you out!" (Bill Cosby, not word for word).
So, here it is.
