It's Mother's Day. I bought my mother Selena, 27 Dresses, and the Lady Antebellum CD. She liked all of it, of course, and we watched Selena. It is one of our favorite movies, and it always will be. We know most of it by heart, but every time they get to where she died, I feel so sad. I wish that I had been around and older when she was alive and a big star. I wish I had gotten to see her sing. She was so beautiful.

Anyway. About my mother. She is not always the best, but she knows that. We have had a very difficult relationship over the past few years, but she is currently my best friend. I am forever thankful for her, even if sometimes it annoys me that she doesn't care about half of the things that I care about. I still know that she loves me and just wishes the best for me, though. And I am proud of her for being the woman she is, even if sometimes she is really wishy-washy and I wish that she could stand up for herself better.

I love you, mom.
