An Open Letter To My Mom

Dear Mom,

Every mother and daughter have a different kind of bond. I would like to think of ours as an inseparable friendship because we have our ups and downs but nothing will ever break us apart. You are my idol and who I strive to be like when I am older. You have taught me several things when I needed help from drama, life lessons, values, and how to be the best version of myself. I always have someone to go to when I need something and I am very thankful that you are only a phone call away.

I just want to say thank you for everything you do for me and I appreciate all the small things. Thank you for always being my pedicure buddy. Thank you for always being my number one supporter. Thank you for being my role model. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and past experiences with me. Thank you for allowing me to be so blessed with an amazing childhood. Thank you for taking me around the world with our family. Thank you for allowing me to be myself. Most of all, thank you for being the one and only person I am lucky enough to call mom.

What we have been through as a family just shows how strong we all are. We have a little more appreciation for life and I know I try to live each day to its fullest. Our family has been blessed to have experienced life the way we have and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us. All I know is that if I have you by my side, then everything will be perfect.

I hope you had a great birthday weekend and a really special birthday. Happy birthday and I really wish I was able to spend it with you but I will see you shortly after. I love you, mom.

Love,

Lauren
