When I was younger, around middle school age, my life sucked eggs. I think every girl\u2019s life does when she is 12 and 13. It\u2019s just awkward growing into a woman and still feeling like a little girl but not wanting to admit it. I can remember many, many times when my mother would gather me into her arms as I cried over some new heartache and she would softly whisper into my ear, \u201cI know this is hard right now, but if it helps to know the truth\u2026you\u2019ve always been my favorite child.\u201d And you know what? It did help.<\/p>\n
My brother says she used to tell him the same thing when he was a kid, but I don\u2019t believe him. He went off and married a Yankee\u2026.a Yankee!!!! And as we all know, you just can\u2019t trust a guy like that.<\/p>\n
Happy Mother\u2019s Day, Mom!
