- Everyone’s scared of becoming their parents until eventually they realize it’s happening, for me this is my mom.
- Throughout my entire life I have been told that I look exactly like her and that’s simply because we have the exact same face, same hair, same eyes, same nose… she’s tan year round though, of course the one gene I didn’t get but whatever.
- Another trait that I was oh so lucky to have received from my mom was her anxiety, she’s a nurse who has seen it all and because of this she’s incredibly nervous about just about everything.
- Just the other day when I was sick with the flu she told me to be careful with how many cough drops I was taking… It’s ok though I understand that it comes from her heart and although anxiety is frustrating it’s something we can both kind of laugh about at least.
- Speaking of, just if I didn’t think we were similar enough as it is, I recently found out that my laugh sounds exactly like hers, it’s happening I’m turning into her.
- Unfortunately things were not always like this and I’m sure a lot of us can probably relate to this but our relationship was not perfect for a long time.
- Throughout High School and even late middle school things were hard. Being totally honest, I never wanted to be like her because I looked at her as the problem.
- Obviously now looking back I am well aware that I was definitely the problem too and now even seeing her have similar petty fights with my younger brother I find myself seeing both sides of the situation.
- Moral of the story there was lots of fighting and butting heads and as cliche as it sounds I definitely was an angsty teen at times.
- I know that not every relationship a child has with their parents can be mended, and also that there’s people out there who have or had it way worse, but I am endlessly grateful that the arguments stopped and the normal, fun conversations started.
- It’s funny to look back at how happy I was to get away from home and go to college, however college ended up bringing us the closest yet.
- Maybe what they say is true and distance really does make the heart grow fonder. I am not even exaggerating when I say I talk to her everyday and update her on my life like she’s my age with no filter.
- Here are some pictures of us facetiming.
- She also texts me random things throughout the day that usually make me laugh.
- Show texts.
- I’m seriously so happy that I began to tell her everything and she is simply now my best friend. I wouldn’t be at the point where I am at if I wasn’t able to talk to her so often and have someone who is always there for me the way she is. Very thankful for where we are at and our relationship is no longer something that I take for granted.
