The title-question is one I’ve asked many times. What happens when the world stops turning?<\/p>\n
What happens when the A I was hoping for turns out to be a C?<\/p>\n
What happens when the publisher I thought would take my novel decides to pass?<\/p>\n
… when the boy breaks my heart?<\/p>\n
… when the friend abandons me?<\/p>\n
… when the burden feels too heavy?<\/p>\n
… when I haven’t smiled in days?<\/p>\n
… when life seems more hopeless than ever?<\/p>\n
What happens when the darkness settles and takes root?<\/p>\n
She’s there.<\/p>\n
My mom, my best friend, my superhero, my sunshine on a cloudy day, is there. She’s there ![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/15252752_1224538877601550_3299608439359269376_o-1-300x225.jpg\")
with the stupidest joke that makes me laugh until my giggles turn inaudible. She’s there with the perfect tune to balance out my dead-walrus singing to our favorite song. She’s there when the world has turned its back and I’m sure it could never get any worse.<\/p>\n
She’s always there and I couldn’t be more grateful.<\/p>\n
My mom and I have an extremely unconventional relationship, but I’d also argue we have the best relationship ever. She’s my partner in crime and also my partner in business. She’s the mother I hope to be someday, even though she’s not perfect.<\/p>\n
So as we jump into the month dedicated to celebrating our mothers, let’s show some love. If your mom\u00a0is still around, give her a hug, make her breakfast, or just sit with her in silence. Show her you care and that all of the sleepless nights she spent worrying about you were worth it.<\/p>\n

Show her she did a good job.<\/p>\n
Even though she wasn’t perfect…<\/p>\n
… show her she was perfect for you.<\/p>\n
Have an awesome picture with your mom? Tweet it to me @positivenotenet because I want to flood social media with loving pictures of moms and daughters and sons and daughters, biological, adopted, and just children in love!<\/p>\n
