An Open Thank You Letter To My Mom

Thank you. I know I definitely don’t say that enough, and I’m sorry for that. I’m sorry that I don’t give you enough hugs and that I take things out on you when I’m upset. Thank you for forgiving me and loving me anyways. You are my best friend, but I need to remember that you’re still my parent. I love being with you, and you always know just what to say or do when I need your help. I am so happy that we are so close. I know that I can come to you and say whatever is on my mind, and you would never judge me. I am most thankful that we have the type of relationship where I tell you every single aspect of my life. I know you raised me right because of that. I know I never have to hide things or lie to you.

I want you to know that no matter how many times I get mad and storm off on you, the only thing I can think about five minutes later is how I wish I could just run back and say I'm sorry. I get mad too easily sometimes, and you don’t deserve to get an attitude back from me. I'm too stubborn. I never want to leave and feel like we’re not OK. I owe everything to you.

Thank you for sharing your closet with me and letting me wear your jewelry when I have a special event to go to. I love wearing your jewelry because it reminds me of you and makes me feel super cool. I love when you pass down things to me because I become part of your legacy, and it means so much to me. Also, thank you for teaching me how to wear makeup. I am now currently a pro, and I only have you to thank for that.

I’m really glad you wanted to sleep in a little longer when I was little because you taught me how to make scrambled eggs on my own so I didn’t have to wake you up to make them anymore. I probably wouldn’t know how to make scrambled eggs still if it wasn’t for this. And honestly, I make the best scrambled eggs out of anyone. Obviously, no one else had you teach them how to do it, but they all need a lesson.

Thank you for making me laugh like crazy. If anyone asks, I will deny that I said this, but you are actually really funny. I still will fight the urge to laugh when you say something funny, though because your jokes are so ridiculous that I actually don’t want to laugh, but I can’t help it. This being said I am 100 percent way funnier than you still; I hope this is clear.

Lastly, thank you for being such a loving and kind woman. You have the softest heart and too often it gets mistreated. I am sorry for being sassy and hurting your feelings. I only hope to be the caring, beautiful and lovely woman that you are one day. You are perfect in every way, and I'm so happy that you're my mom.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
