Have you ever had days when you just needed your mom? There is something about a mom that no one can ever replace. She has that certain something that can’t be duplicated. No one but mom will do.
There are all kinds of moms in the world, but a mom who is your best friend is one you will want to keep close by. Here are fourteen reasons why your mom is your best friend.
1. She knows the trials and tribulations of being a woman
She has been there. She has done that. She knows the pains, physically and emotionally, that women go through because she has experienced it herself. She understands.
2. She knows you
Your mom knows you. She knows your dreams and your desires. She knows when you are not yourself and when you are on top of your game. She knows just about everything there is to know about you.
3. She is your confidante
If your mom is your best friend, you will be able to tell her things you do not want others to know. You can tell her your deepest, darkest secrets and be sure that no one will know about them.
4. She stands by you through thick and thin
She will be right there next to you no matter what you are going through – whether it be difficult times or prosperous times. She is your loyal ally.
5. She will hold your hand when no one else will
When it feels as if no one understands or cares, she does and will hold your hand until you feel strong enough on your own again. She will give you the time and space you need, but will never let you fall.

Your mom’s love for you is as far as the moon is from the earth and then back again. It is literally endless.

Even in your most despicable you, she will forgive you because she loves you. She does not need you to apologize. She forgives.

She will tell others just how beautiful you are even when you feel you are the ugliest person in the world. Even if your behavior is ugly toward her, she will still swear you are beautiful.

She will want to be just like you when she grows up. You inspire her to be a better person.
