The Perfect Gift for the Perfect Mom!

Dear Kiefer Village Jewels,

            Every year in the month of May, we have a special remembrance of the one we love, the one who we care for, and the one that carried us, children for nine months in there stomachs that soon grew very large as we grew inside.  I think this day is safe to call Mothers Day it’s a day to thank our moms for putting up with us all our life, and even when we are gone out of the house they would still take care of us.  A diamond is forever and so is a mother.  This is mainly directed towards my mother, who has put up with so much stuff and has taken care of me when I make mistakes, when I’m sick and needed a little taken care of, and above all when I’m at my lowest lows or at my highest highs she is always there beside me taking care of me.  My mom deserves a diamond for Mothers Day because a diamond is the world’s ultimate symbol of love, and to me this statement is absolutely true, my mom doesn’t’ get everything she wants but she tries to get me everything I want, and I think it is time that for once on Mothers Day that she gets something special, something from the heart that resembles love, and show her that I really do care about her even though I never act like it most of the time.

            Another reason my mother deserves a diamond for Mothers Day is because she needs a little happiness in her life, because as sad as it is to say she suffers from a disease, Multiple Sclerosis in which if many of you don’t know it is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system in which gradual destruction of myelin occurs in patches throughout the brain or spinal cord or both, interfering with the nerve pathways and causing muscular weakness, loss of coordination, and speech and visual disturbances.  This is hard to say but even though she tries to cover it up day in and day out, I can tell she is suffering more and more as the day progresses.  A diamond is rare and fascinating, and so is my mom, she is one in a million in my heart, and she is like someone you can’t live with but you can’t live without.  She always has a story in her mind she can think of the simplest things that can have absolutely no meaning and turn them into a fairy tale.  This is one of the gifts that were past down to me, from her.  She is torn; she acts like she is happy all the time never trying to reveal her true self in front of us.  Sometimes I just want to yell at her and just tell her to stop working so hard for once in her life and have a good time, but also I know if I yell it will only cause more pain to her.  She has lost her happiness long time back when she was in a car accident that impaired her to work, so with this came the lifestyle of a House Wife.  She acts like she constantly has to do everything around the house.  My mother is such a hard worker even though she is not working for a boss she still sets goals for herself everyday, and pushes herself to the extreme, to accomplish these goals even if it is causing her pain.  She loves her children she loves her life, but now it’s time for me to show her how much I lover her and a diamond is a perfect way to express the love I have for her that’s why a diamond is the perfect gift for my mom for Mothers Day.  And it’s true what they say a diamond’s purity and brilliance symbolize lasting love, which is the love my mom will always have in her heart.

            Despite the arguments me and my mom have she will always remain mysterious and magical; see because like my mom diamonds are mysterious and magical as well.  She always has something to say and she just won’t tell she’ll listen too, in which sometimes moms don’t always do.  This is why I think my mom is the perfect mom and I adore her with all my passion and love within my heart. My mom is also a very optimistic person, she always has a positive energy and is always loving the day even when it may not go her way, she passes on the love, this makes my mom shine so bright, she will not let anyone’s words hurt her she is as hard as a diamond on the outside, but she is just so beautiful on the inside.  She never likes negative energy around the house, she is always saying “Don’t think of the glass half empty, think of it as half full” I think this makes my mom the most beautiful person in the world.  She respects people’s opinions and ideas; she is a much liked woman.  So a diamond on her would suit her best, she has only had one other diamond in her life and that was her engagement ring with my father.  Not only is she the perfect ray of light and the perfect mother in my eyes she also is a wonderful wife.  Me and my mom fight sometimes yes it’s true, but what would a family be without a little controversy, it would be perfect and boring.  Every family has there flaws, so it’s not like we are the only family that has a few arguments every now and then, everyone does and everyone will guaranteed.  So I’m not trying to say we are the perfect little white picket fence kind of family, because we are far from it and we are proud of it to.  I need my family to survive and they need me, I hope.  As cheesy as it may sound they complete me, like snowhite with her seven dwarves, or prince charming with Cinderella, it’s Joey and his family.  A diamond is precision cut to make it brilliant, my mom shows this kind of attitude, not only is she caring and loving she is smart.  She helps me with my homework; she makes and pushes me to my fullest!  And if she knows I can do better believe me she’ll let me know, if it’s with grades, girlfriends, anything!  Like onetime I had a girlfriend in six grade and she kept on getting me in trouble, so yea my mom was like you have to breakup with her if you get in trouble one more time mister I’ll crack you like a coconut, so yea my mom she knows what she’s doing, she’s much older and wiser than I am, I mean she has lived almost four decades how much smarter can you get.  I know she’ll live longer and once again see her ultimate goal, to see her first grandkids, to see her sons going off to college, to get her sons out of the house, I know she’s go this all planned out already.

            A diamond is a girl’s best friend, well I couldn’t really call my mom a girl now., you know she is a woman with a lot of life ahead of her, she will accomplish her goals.  She is the greatest mother in my eyes and now you see why she deserves a diamond for Mothers Day.  She lives day in and day out with an incurable disease, she treats her kids with so much kindness, and care, and she is always trying to make us happy.  So Kiefer Village Jewels now you see and now you’ve heard why I think why my mom deserves to get a diamond for Mothers day, what do you say will you grant my wish and let me give her a gift she will never forget.  The perfect gift for the perfect mother on mothers day a diamond of course.  A diamond symbolizes long lasting love which my mom shows everyday!  So please, oh please just this once, make my mom’s Mothers Day a day to remember.
