My best friend is my mother

Tweet

My mother came to visit me last week and she is leaving today. I already miss her amazing home cooked meals and her tinkling laughter. We spent hours chatting about random things and laughing so hard. She has an iron clad positive attitude and a crazy sense of humor and it is really hard to stay serious or sad when she is near. She has this ability to make even a stranger or a neighbor feel comfortable at our home. She came to my store the other day and was very proud of what I was doing with it. She has an amazing rapport with my husband and son. I watched the french movie Intouchables (with English Subtitles) with her. I loved that movie and I knew my mother would appreciate it. Last Saturday, I made a special lunch for her - hot n sour veg soup, mushroom biryani, pepper chicken fry, mushroom masala and pineapple custard. She said she felt like she was the daughter and I was her mother when I pampered her so. That for me is the greatest compliment! She always tells me - You can always make money. But you can't always make memories. So make the best of your atmosphere. No matter how much time, I spend with my mother together, it never seems enough. I will see her again next month when I visit my native but seeing her leaving is hard. Image Credit: Claudia Trembley
