“If you found out you were pregnant at this age, what would you do?”, Daniel asked
“My mother”, I replied
“Your mother? What has your mother done?”, Daniel asked again
“I mean I’m definitely going to tell my mother of course”, I replied
“You said what?!!!”, He shouted.
This was a conversation I had with a very good friend of mine about some weeks ago. As a child, I actually was my daddy’s best friend because I was the last child and only daughter. After some years, everything turned about. I became closer to my mom because of female growth in general. I wasn’t shy of my dad though but I was just more comfortable telling my mom things.
When my mom and I started becoming close, it was a little weird telling her everything but she told me one day that, if there’s anyone in this world who wants the best for me it’s definitely her. She doesn’t know anyone who actually wants nothing but the best for me in life more than her so I should feel very comfortable telling her anything at all whether good or bad and no matter how horrible it is, she will always be there for me. That’s when the relationship started.
I was already in senior high school and experiencing some part of teenage life. I was now telling my mom everything, from crushes to people that I don’t like. Anything at all. She became my gist partner and it’s something I’ll never regret.A lot has changed over the years but the only thing that has not even experienced a scratch is the relationship I have with my mom. We can talk for hours on the phone and still feel like it’s only been minutes.
I like it so much that my mom is my best friend because sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we run to our friends for advice and they tend to give us really bad advice. In my case, it’s my mother that I always run to and of course she always has the perfect advice for me.There have been times I went on dates with my mom because I didn’t feel like going with friends.
There have also been days that I decided to stay indoors and she also decided to stay by my side. There are some Friday nights that you would come home to my mom and I doing karaoke and singing our hearts out loud in the living room.
Yes that’s how cool our relationship is. In fact, sometimes I feel my mom sees me as her younger sister instead of her daughter. There are times my mom just does my love languages just to remind me that the right person would go lengths for me and I love it.
For me, I cherish these kind of moments and I’m always grateful. I think it is safe to say I definitely have the best relationship with my mom and anytime I count my blessings, I count her twice.Thank you so much for your time.
