Dear Mom,
You've been the one by my side every single day of my life. You've loved me, cared for me and guided me. Things have changed and people have come and gone; but one thing has remained, us. As you're in this season of singleness I want to remind you of one thing; don't settle for less than you deserve. But this is going to be hard because you deserve the world and more. I know it's not easy right now and you feel frustrated but I pray each day that you don't let this discourage you.
You have always told me never to settle, or let someone treat me in a way that is less than I deserve. Now it's time to take your own advice. As you date I hope you remember why you are so amazing and everything that you have taught me when it comes to men (boys). Your personality and heart are bigger than anyone else's that I know; and only someone rare truly deserves to have you in their life.
I know the thought of being alone lingers in your mind but here's the thing -- you will never be alone. You have so many people in this life that love you because you do nothing but serve those around you. You can never be alone because you are surrounded by loving family and friends. You are a bright light in the darkness of our days and anyone who meets you can speak to that.
So as you take on this chapter of life, remember that you are a rare find and deserve a knight in shining armor. One day, your prince charming will come into our lives and change it forever. He will show us just why things never worked out in the past. Until then, enjoy the moments you have with friends, family and the pets because this is your time to shine. Don't ever stop shining. I think I speak for everyone when I say that you are special and the right one is out there. I know it's taking longer than wanted but God will put him right in front of you when it's time. But for the time being, lets just keep living this wonderful, beautiful, life that He so graciously blessed us with.
I love you, mom. There is truly no such thing as a life that's better than yours. Remember that for all of your days.
Love,
Your biggest cheerleader.
