Sixty lessons definitely doesn’t even cover half of what I’ve learned from you. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for you. You are my biggest role model and greatest teacher. Momma, thank you for always making sure that I made my bed and for always buying me a Little Mermaid ornament every year. Thank you for teaching me about "sell by" dates, it has saved so many gallons of milk throughout my life, and for making sure I kept God first. I could go on and on, but I’ll save that for a later. I love you, forever and ever up to the sky and back! Thank you for everything.
