For always listening to me when I’m crying, venting or babbling incoherently:

For being an endless supply of thoughtful and wise advice:

For never judging me and allowing me to make my own mistakes:

Thank you.

For dealing with my constant mood swings:

For remaining unbelievably calm when I’m completely irrational:

For loving me unconditionally when I’m extremely difficult to love:

Thank you.

For always being kind when you have every right to be mean:

For being gentle, compassionate and extraordinarily empathetic:

For remaining optimistic, no matter what the world throws at you:

Thank you.

For making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts:

For telling me I’m beautiful when I’m wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt:

For crying with me, whether the tears are happy or sad:

Thank you.

For setting the perfect example of a loving mother, wife and human being:

For being a strong, independent woman who stands by her convictions:

For also remaining exceedingly open-minded and understanding:

Thank you.

For always believing in me, even when I don’t believe in myself:

For supporting me in absolutely everything I do:

For giving me the confidence to pursue my goals and follow my dreams:

Thank you.

For being my best friend and my rock:

For being my role model and inspiration:

For being the most incredible person on the face of the earth:

Thank you.

If I am ever half the person you are, I will be happy. You are such a blessing and an angel. I'll never be able to fully describe how grateful and proud I am to call you my mom, because it is beyond words.

Thank you, Mom, and happy Mother’s Day. I love you endlessly.
