My mom

I am so thankful for my crazy hair brain mother. Our relationship is crazy, its different. It has had its ups and downs. There have been times when I have been ashamed of her, where we've fought more than we've loved. But at the end of the day she is my mother and I love her dearly. As I get older I know that I've said things that have hurt her and I know she can't change some of the decisions she has made, but together we have to move past them.

Last night I found out I that I failed three of the six comprehensive exams I have for grad school. And I freaked. With this new age of technology and my mother's hearing problems I texted her to tell her the outcome. And of course I was upset so I went to worst case scenario and said I could fail out of grad school next week.

And this is what I got back: I don't think that will happen, you are smart. You just have too much pressure on you. I have faith you will make it :)

And I cried like a baby. She can still fix anything. Even through a text message. Even though most of the time I act like at 25 I have everything so together that I don't need anything from my parents, I needed that. But sometimes I need her in my corner, telling me that regardless of what happens, I can do this.
