You stared at me and slowly said
"You are just like your mother"
With your finger pointing in my face
Then you stepped back
Leaned up against the counter
Crossed your arms over your chest and looked satisfied
You wanted the words to cut me
To hurt me
To break my heart
To make me feel like I hurt you as much as she did
But what you didn't realize
Is that my mother is everything I ever hope to be
My mother is my greatest inspiration
My best friend
So when you said
"You are just like your mother"
A tear rolled down my cheek
Not because I was hurt
Because it was the greatest compliment I would ever get
