]]>What's the best thing about your mom?
The best thing about my mom was everything. She did all of the basic good mom things and more. She packed my lunches (which I never appreciated), took me to the doctor when I was sick (or when I was faking it), read bedtime stories to me (even when I was far too old for them), and she didn't try to deter me from pursing art as a major or a career. She was supportive of almost everything that I did (within reason). She cooked dinner for my father and me every night after working an eight-hour day. She would take me to work with her on the rare Sundays where she'd have to go in, which I absolutely loved (she worked for the phone company, so there were all sorts of cool things to look at and play with).
I'm just sorry that she had to go before I was out of the teenage years. I wasn't that bad, but still. You know how teenagers think that they know everything.
