I love my mom

I do. I think she's a great lady. And I don't just love her. I like her. I like being around her and talking to her and spending time with her. I could spend hours with her - talking or gardening or just doing nothing. I know so many women who don't get along with their mothers. They barely tolerate them and dread the idea of being like them. So, I wonder if my kids will like me in 20 years. Will we be friends the way my mom and I are? I think it might be okay and I'll tell you why. When I was younger, I was a major pain in the butt. I drove my mother crazy. She had a lot of meetings with the school principal. She would send the cops out looking for me. I was bad. But, through all that, she was still a great mom and remains that way. And if bad behavior in a daughter means she will stay forever connected to her mom, Caty and I are going to be joined at the hip forever!
