I owe my life to my many moms. Of course there’s my birth mother who literally gave me life. There’s also all of my friends’ moms who have treated me like their own daughter. Then there’s the friends I have who are basically a mother in a college kid’s body. She may not be my “real” mom, but she’s still my mom’s favorite friend. She keeps me alive and always seems to have her life together. So here’s why everyone needs the mom friend as told by someone who is more like a child than a responsible adult.
