To the one person I know who will always be there for me no matter what,
I know you will always have my back even when I don't make the best decisions. You're the only person I can tell absolutely everything to, and know you won't judge me; at least not too harshly. You're my best friend even through the hard times. Thank you.
Thank you for always being the first person I can go to with my biggest news and always giving me supportive and honest feedback. You always give the best advice and know exactly what to do. You know me better than anyone -- it's almost scary how well you know me, even when I don't want to admit it -- you're always right.
Thank you for always forgiving me. Even when I argue with you and act like a complete brat for reasons that I'll probably forget within the next few days, I know that I can drive you completely crazy and have been doing it since I was 5 years old. But in the end, you always forgive me. No one else would ever put up with me like you have.
Thank you for always taking my side. Whenever someone had yelled at me or told me I was wrong or when a boy made me cry, you were always there to support me and let me know that I was better than the bad things that had happened to me. Through all the hard times I've gone through growing up, you were always the first one, and sometimes the only one, to be there for me and help me through, which has taught me to always stand by those who I love as well, no matter how hard the situation was.
Thank you for giving me the confidence to be the woman I am today. For always pushing me to be a better person and work hard for what I want. You taught me to always do the right thing and to be a more selfless person when it comes to helping those who I love and care about. Most importantly, you taught me to never take anyone's crap or let anyone take advantage of me.
Thank you for being my best friend. For letting me spill all the best gossip to you because I know you won't tell anyone. For letting me be honest with you about all the stupid things I've done because I know you won't be mad at me. You raised me to learn from all of my mistakes.
Thank you for never letting me give up. To work hard for the things that I want most in life. You pushed me to work hard in high school and into college. I never would have gotten through all of those college applications without you there. For reminding me that when I don't want to do something or when things just completely suck, that everything will always work out in the end.
Most importantly, thank you for being my mom. I know I don't say it enough but you are the most amazing woman I know, and I wouldn't be the person I am today without your love and guidance.
Love,
Your daughter
