What would I do without my mother? What would I do without anyone to hold me when I’m scared? What would I do without anyone to somehow understand me? What would do without anyone to let me climb into her bed when I’m sick? What would I do without my mother?

My mother is so busy. Though she still finds enough time to drive me to school and wish me good luck. She is somehow able to drive me to Girl Scouts and birthday parties, even though she is late for her exercise class.

My mother does so much for me. Every morning she wakes up early to pack me my lunch. Every day she gives me a kiss good bye and a kiss good night. She gets me books and toys I didn’t even want in the first place, that I later turn out to love.

What would I do without my mom?
