Dear Mom,

1. I love you

I didn't tell you enough, but I love you. More than words can describe. You always said to me "I love you to the moon and back." and "You are my sunshine." those phrases reassured me that you loved me and now I wish I could say them to you.

2. I forgive you

I tried so hard to forgive you and it was so hard. Every time I'd try I found myself thinking about the bad instead of focusing on the good. I want you to know now that I forgive you, and I take it all back.

3. I cherish You

There is a special place in my heart where you will always be and I cherish you. I will fight for your name and I will stand up to any negativity said about you. I will cherish your belongings as my own and I will tell great stories about the great mom you were.

4. I admire you

I admire the way you were so supportive and loving. Not a day goes by that I don't think about the good things you did for me. I will never forget the way you loved me a raised me to become a pure young woman.

5. Thank you

Most importantly, thank you. Thank you for making me realize that life is so precious and to treat everyday like my last. Thank you for trying your best to always make me happy. Thank you for being you.

Love always,

your very proud daughter.
