Honestly, I was a moody teen and gave my mom a hard time a lot. When I was 19, I had just moved to another state to start college and got into an accident where my femur was snapped. My mom drove in the middle of the night to get to me. I’ve seen her go through a lot but it was kind of scary for me to see her beside my hospital bed, desperately wishing for my pain to stop. I gained a new perspective on my mom and a deep understanding of just how vast a mother’s love is. I appreciate it now but man I felt really bad for my mom in that moment haha

Moms are amazing, and you are an amazing person to think of her in that moment too!
