I love my family more than anything else. Even though we've had our share of drama, fights, hurtful words, and uncomfortable situations, we are still a family. I know this all the way from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.
Family is everything to me. Sure, we aren't the most lovey-dovey, hugs-and-kisses bunch, but that's okay. That's my family and I love them with all of their imperfections, just as they love me with all of my *many* imperfections.
My Mom has been one of my biggest supports over this last week of midterms, projects, homework, etc. I've probably called home at least a dozen times in the last week. Sometimes stressed and in tears, and sometimes just to hear the voices of those that love me, and sometimes just to let them know that school hasn't killed me yet. Haha, there may have been some close calls... ;-)
No matter what the circumstance, my attitude, the reason for my call, my Mom is always there to offer a listening ear and words of comfort, advice, love, and tenderness.
I'm certain there are people that don't always see this side of her, and I'm sorry you don't see her this way, because she is one of the most amazing people I know.
Her quirky sense of humor.
That little smirk that comes with every teasing comment.
The sweet smile you get to see in the fleeting moments of happiness.
That's the Mom that I grew up with. That's the Mom I love. That's the Mom that loves me wholly, unconditionally, and would do anything she could to make me happy. She would protect me from every pain and trial if she could.
I know it's not just for me, either. She would do this for any of her children.
To me, this is love.

What a great family photo! I love your mom too. She is awesome :) It's been great to get to know her better as her visiting teacher the past couple years. Thanks for posting this! I know you will be glad to look back at it in years to come.
