Seriously.
I am so lucky. I know that not everyone can pick up the phone and just talk about worries, fears, insecurities, etc. with someone who's known them for 20 years and who can actually relate to a lot of their feelings while being experienced enough to give some valuable perspective and advice.
She also is the most intuituive person I know - which means I'm able to really trust her words when she tells me that I should consider things differently, or think about people differently, or anything. (And it's not that I don't trust people who are less intuitive on a personal level, it's just that it's easier for me to feel the sense in what she says, and believe in it more. So, it's an intention vs reality thing. Most people have good intentions, but Mom is almost always right about the way things end up turning out. And that means a lot to me.)
More than anything I may accomplish in my professional life - I really hope that when I'm her age with children and a husband of my own, I'll be able to give the same balance and perspective that she's given to us.
