Dear Mom,

As I have gotten older and moved away to college, I know I have not been around as much as I used to be. I'm always doing homework, studying or with my boyfriend. Even though I have moved away I want you to know that I love you, even if I do not show it or say it very often. You've always been someone that I could come to in my time of need or my shoulder to cry on when I've always needed it. You have been a valuable part of my life and I just want you to know that I love you.

Next, I want to say thank you. Thank you for always being there when I've needed you. It has always been nice to know that you are only a call away. Thank you for always listening to the countless drama between me and my friends. Thank you for being supportive of my college career. Thank you for the late night movie nights and the taco nights. You mean so much to me and I know that I often do not prove it. I hope as I get older you will be able to forgive me for all of the attitudes and smart remarks.

Lastly, I want to say I'm sorry for all of the attitudes I have taken out on you. I'm sorry for all of the times I have let you down. I'm sorry for all the times I have fought with you. I never meant to lash out when I was in a bad mood or ignore you when you've tried to talk to me.

I want you to know that you will always be an important person in my life. You have always told me you would be there for me and I hope that will never change. I hope I make you very proud in everything I do throughout my life. Even though or relationship may change, it does not mean it will change in a bad way. In the future I hope to become a mother and I want you to know that I have learned many things from you that will hopefully make me a wonderful mother too.

Love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Your daugter
