Essay About My Mother

Without my mother, I would not exist on this earth. My feet would have never graced the ground, making prints into snow and soil and everything in between. My eyes would have never caught the reflection of a cloud being whisked away by the wind. My ears would have never been tickled by the sweet melody of tree branches rustling in a breeze. My mother gave me the opportunity to live, and throughout my seventeen years of existence, she has taught me an infinite amount of lessons. My mother…

It has been 18 years without a mother or even a father’s love. I have always felt a missing piece. I grew up wondering "why me? Was I not good enough? Did I not deserve their love?" Those lonely nights where I wish I had a mother’s nurturing love and fathers encouraging words. After many years have passed by I learned how to accept it.

My mother said she wanted to die because of me. Her actual words were “you’re the reason I want God to take me home early.” On that hot summer day in July of 2010, I didn’t know how to process her statement. We were sitting at a bus stop waiting for the next bus to arrive to take us home. We were within walking distance from our apartments and I started complaining about how if we walked home we would be there by time the bus showed up. The sun was beating on us to the point of exertion. Not…

Draw a monster. Now, why is it a monster? My own mother was probably the best mother she could be. Not only because she loved me unconditionally, but because she knew what a poor example that her mother, my grandmother, taught her. A common weekend activity with my mom consisted of us driving to McDonald’s and ordering my favorite breakfast meal. Hotcakes and sausage with an extra sausage, but it wasn’t quite that innocent. My mother would also order a meal for herself and pretend she didn’t…
