yes, it's true. My mum's the best. I know it's uncool to praise your mum or to hang out with her or just generally be nice to her. But the fact is, I love my mum.

She has always been there whenever I needed her (except on one occasion but I won't go into that now as it was understandable), whenever I was in trouble she bailed me out. She has shown me nothing but love and understanding from the moment I plopped into this world (after three days of agony on her part). My mother devoted her existance to ensuring my and my syblings happiness, we never had much cash but we didn't need it. We had love. Cheesy as that sounds, it's true.

She buys me nice things when I don't deserve it, and still though I'm nearly 28 and am now a mother myself, she is constant in her care and love.

I see my friends parents and am just flabergasted that their folks aren't like mine, I just assumed that all parents put their children first and that's the way it is. It's not like that though. Is it? It's sad that so many people are far too selfish in their own little worlds to care about what becomes of their offspring. ANd everyday I thank my lucky stars that when I was waiting upstairs to be conceieved I chose my mum. Won the lottery, you could say. No better, winning the lottery the money goes, but my mum is always going to be there and be wonderful.

I just hope that I can be as good a mother as she was and is.

So now you all know how sad I am!

Love you mum.
