I quite honestly nearly cried because of this because I know how many people out their don't appreciate their mothers, and I'm quite glad that I have such an open relationship with mine. I'm glad to say that I have legitimately thanked my mother for most of the good that has come into my life because without her, I wouldn't have a life.
