Although we have fought like cats and dogs in the past, the relationship between myself and my Mom has always remained strong (the reason for the intense fighting was because I was a teenage girl, and like every other teenage girl I have ever known, I simply felt the need to rebel and test my limits). While I have always appreciated my Mom, now that I am a little bit older and at least a tad bit wiser, I really appreciate the amazing influence my Mom has had on my life.
Since we really are close with each other, it was so nice to get to go on a trip with her. I have plenty of friends who have good relationships with their mothers, but very few of them have gotten to go on a special one-on-one trip with their Mom.
Because we knew this was going to be a really special experience for both of us, we decided to go all out and plan a trip to Paris together. We ended up going for an entire week, and it’s honestly hard to put into words just how nice the mixture of visiting a place like Paris and spending an uninterrupted week with my Mom turned out to be.
