Mother's Day

So father really REALLY bugged me this mother's day... so I decided to actually use some of the amazing creative juices I had and do something special this year
So here's what I did:

I bought her 11 red roses and 1 white rose... then some weird filler shit... and I put them together in my best attempt at flower arranging.


I also included this little letter

12 Reasons Why I Love You
1. You haven't given up on me yet
2. You let me grow up to be who I wanted to be
3. You gave me so many opportunities
4. You've always encouraged me to do better
5. You've somehow survived all of us for this long
6. You have an unshakable belief in God, and I respect that even if I disagree
7. You're more accepting than I give you credit for
8. You were the best Girl Scout troop leader I've ever had
9. Your dedication to your children is remarkable
10. You work hard at the things you love
11. You have all these little habits that you've passed on to me, so in a way I'll always have something of you to take with me

And number 12, represented by the single white rose
I love you because you're my mother, and that's something no one can take away from me, and something that will never change. Even after these roses die, you'll always have this list to look back to, and I'll always have the memories you shared along with me. Here's a gift for you on the last Mother's Day before I head off to college. And here's to wishing for many more after that.

Tehe, I made mother cry she was so touched. I figure I owe it to her, especially when no one is really giving her any love these days. Success!
