Best days

Everytime I watch this video, I feel like crying:
 
(Here are the lyrics:
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides, look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all 

Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
 

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight
and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today 

I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother, inside and out, he's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world


 And now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
For staying back and watching me shine

 And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today)

Why do I cry? Because this song really, really describes how I feel about my mom. She is the prettiest lady in the whole wide world, I have the best days with her, she stays back and watches me shine. I also remember the countless times I'd come home crying because of mean girls at school or something that had happened, and how she was always there to make it all better. I also want to say, like Taylor swift says at the end, "I'm not sure if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say..." I have the best days with you and I'm grateful for your life and your motherhood.


I love you mae.
Happy birthday (tomorrow).
