For my Mom. Hopefully she sees this. Without her, who knows where the hell I’d be. Planning my next tattoo to be about her. Looking for a pretty Lily Tattoo, with her initials on it somewhere, and hopefully I can get her to write this out so I can have  er handwriting for ever, because we may fight and argue but nothing comforts me more than my mom, nothing makes me more proud unlike the few times she says she’s proud of me. She may not say it often but I know she loves me. I don’t think many other people could deal with the stuff I’ve put her through these past 20 years. Especially with me getting ready for my next part of my life, I want her to know that she’ll always be a big part of my life.

“And she loved this little boy very much, even more than she loved herself.”

I hope she writes it down for me. I know it might be a lot but I love tattoos, I want something to represent each important part of my life. And she is definitely one of the biggest.

I know I’m a pain in the ass but hopefully she never loses her love for me, as much as I adore and appreciate her. Hopefully we never lose each other, especially with this transitional time in my life. I love her to death, and I’ll be happy to have this part of her forever with me. Something I’ll be glad to show off. Something that I can show my kids and show them how beautiful her handwriting is and how beautiful she is as a person with the flower.  But this is something I’m passionate about. I refuse to let my relationship with my mom go bitter. I love you Mom, always will just like you have always loved me.

From the day that I was born

To my very first step

To my very first big game

You’ve been my very best friend

I’m never met someone stronger

Someone who shines like you

Who go out of their way to make me smile the way that you do

We’ve had our ups and downs

But you’re always there for me

Just know I’ll miss you from the second that I leave

Where would I be without you

Where would I be without you there to hold my hand

Where would I be without you

Cause without you there is no me

I can’t recall every mess I’ve made

But you were there to clean it up

You taught me that its ok to be

Anybody that I want

It was you who took me step by step

Through your ruins and your pain

To prove to me there’s so much more

And that the risk is worth the gain 

We’ve had our ups and downs

I’ll be there when you need

Don’t hesitate to call 

You always have a place with me 

You smile when I smile

Never gave up

Say the glass half full when the going gets tough

Believe in me 

Always there when I need

Push me to my best when everyone else leaves

Driven me around let me play my own songs

You try to sing a long, even make up all your own words

You’ve made me who I am today

Where would I be without you
