Mom, Now I Understand

Mom, it took me years, but now I think I finally get it. I finally understand it all. All those times I thought that you were being over pertective or over dramatic, you were really just being...well...a mom. I look back at all those things, now that I'm a mother, and I see what you meant. When you told me about how much you had to go though when you were pregnant, all the drama and stress, I thought you were just making it up. So, I wouldn't go out and do things with boys. It only took me about 2 months of being pregnant to see that you weren't lying. I know that I was stubern and you are strong woman to be able to put up with someone like me. I wasn't always the perfect daughter at times, but I want you to know that I never lost my respect for you and now I have more respect then ever. I love you mom, and now I understand.
