Some people say parents shouldn’t get too close to their kids. But that’s not entirely right. No matter your age, if you and your mom share a strong bond, she’ll be your truest friend for life.
You might not see it now or even in a few years. But one day, when she’s no longer here, you’ll feel an empty space—a missing part of yourself. For those of us lucky enough to share a positive relationship with our moms, we know how priceless that bond truly is.
As I’ve grown older, my mom and I have grown closer. At first, there were things I was too scared to talk to her about. But over time, we opened up, sharing everything. We’re open books now, caring for each other in a way that words can hardly capture. I used to cause her so much trouble when I was younger. Now, we’ve put all that behind us, and I’ve apologized for it all.
Sometimes, late at night, when I can’t sleep and need someone to talk to, I call her. She’s always there, always listening, no matter the hour. Our love for each other is constant, unshakeable. No one else in the world worries about me the way she does. And nothing—not money, not any possession—could ever make me trade her for anyone else.
When your mom is your best friend, her loss will leave a void no one else can fill. So next time you feel frustrated or start to argue with her, remember what she’s done for you. She’s the reason you’re here. She’s given everything to see you happy, comforting you through every scraped knee and heartbreak. Even now, she’s only a phone call away, ready to be by your side in any moment of need.
Friends come and go. But a mother? She’s forever. She won’t abandon you, even if you’ve had your roughest moments together. Even as her face ages and her hands show signs of time, her love stays as pure and powerful as ever. And one day, she’ll still be there, watching over you from above, with that same love that never fades.
