What do you say or do to thank the woman who gave you everything? Not only did she give me life, she gave me a life. How do you thank the woman that nursed you back to health when you were sick, picked up the pieces when someone broke your heart, and supported you through your craziest adventures. Words can not describe how grateful I am for my mom.

This woman rivals any comic book superhero I have ever seen. When is the last time you saw superman get two kids ready for school, get ready for work, and make breakfast and lunch all at the same time? You haven't. She showed up to all the sporting events she could even though she was exhausted from working. She sacrificed things she wanted for her self for the assurance that I would have everything I needed in my life. How can one woman do so many things and wear so many hats and still manage to remain sane? I will forever be impressed. How there hasn't been a mom comic book created yet I will never know. No powers, just a normal mom taking care of herself and her children. My mom supported me through every moment. She stood behind me thick and thin, through every phase (that I promised wasn't a phase, even though we all know it's a phase).Most importantly, when I decided I needed to leave home and move away for college, without hesitation, she supported me. The strength, love, and dedication this woman showed throughout my life was, and still is, extraordinary.

So, here's my thank you. Thank you for supporting me in everything. Thank you for working day in and day out to give my brother and I the best possible life. Thank you for teaching me to have fun and be silly without a care in the world. Thank you for all the times we sang and danced in the kitchen while baking, joked in the car on a long drive, and making me laugh until I cried.

Not everyone is lucky enough to have this experience with a mother, but for those who are, don't forget to thank your mother this mothers day. To my mom, I love you, thank you for everything, and I am so proud to call you mom. Happy Mother's Day everyone.
