Expectations

Every morning when I get off of work, I call my mom.  Literally, every morning!  I really like it because it kinda starts my day off AMAZING!  My mom is brilliant.  Let's face it.  You all know it!  If you don't, then you should accept the fact that she is.  

LOOK AT HER!  She is riding a flippin horse!! She is so talented!!!  

She is also so inspired.  

I tell my mom everything.  If I don't, I feel horrible.  When I have problems with people or with myself she always has something to tell me to help me in some way feel a little bit better about myself or put me in my place because I worrying too much about something.

I recently came to her with some issues I was having.  I was wanting to act a certain way, in my mom's words, a knee jerk reaction.  I expected someone to act a certain way and they weren't.  My first inclination was to approach them and confront the issue that I saw.  When I called her that morning and was telling her of my plan, she pulled out the mom intellect. 

Dieter F. Uchtdorf said these words, "The people around us are not perfect.19 People do things that annoy, disappoint, and anger. In this mortal life it will always be that way."

My mom tells me these words many times and for some reason I always need to hear them.  

I will admit that it is hard for my mom not to be here next to me, talking to me face-to-face and telling me these things.  I want her comfort and her love.  I miss it.

It's hard knowing that I am becoming an adult and won't have her in my life as frequently as I would like, or expect. 

I can't expect that she can help me with all my problems, but I know that she will send as many loves and prayers my way to help me. 
I guess that is the best I can ask for.

I just gave my mom the address to my blog, so she will see this. 

Mom, I love you.  I love everything you do for me.  I'm sorry I forgot to call you one time after work.  You are my hero and my best teacher and friend.  I love all the guidance and lessons you have taught me.  I love you to the moon and stars and back. 

Continue being the amazing person you are.  I will always love you no matter what.
