When I was born, I didn't know how lucky I was. I was born with a family that loved me and wanted me. But I was also born with a mother who would give everything and anything for me, and she did. It took me a long time to realize how lucky I really am because of my mother, but now that I realize it, I'm a million times more grateful. Sure, there have been times where we are at each other's throats. Regardless of the fighting, she's my mother and I'll always love her. I don't tell her enough, so I thought I would put together a list of quotes by influential people that apply to her as well. This is for my mother.

She's is the most supportive person in my life and I am where I am today because of her love an guidance. I can only hope to be half the woman my mother is. I have so much admiration and appreciation for her. I love you, Momma.
