Dear Mom,

You do so much for me everyday. You have put my needs before yours since the day I was born, and I don't say thank you enough. This letter can't possibly thank you enough for all you do, but it's just the start of my gratitude.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for being supportive of me no matter what. Thank you for doing everything in your power to make my dreams a reality. Thank you for being there for me whether it was talking me down when I was sure I wasn't going to make it through Spanish class, or showing up to any event that I participated in. Thank you for being understanding when I don't text or call you back right away because you know I have a horrible memory. Thank you for feeding me at school and home and making sure I'm being properly taken care of. Thank you for letting me figure out who I want to be and supporting me to make my own choices. Thank you for making sacrifices in order for me to pursue my dreams. I know now that it hasn't always been easy and I am so grateful.Thank you for taking me shopping because I needed to get off campus. Thank you for sending me candy in the mail after I've had a hard week and you know how much I love chocolate. Thank you for always editing my papers and helping me with my writing so I can get a better grade. Thank you for texting me before every big test to wish me luck and asking me how it went after. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder and being my protector. Thank you for making my room perfect when I come home so that I never want to leave. Thank you for loving me no matter what.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for all the things you do that I don't thank you enough. Thank you for being you.

With a lot of love and gratitude,

Your Thankful Daughter
