I don’t have enough typing space to put into words how blessed I am to have been given such an amazing mom.

My mom has been putting up with me for twenty years.

In these twenty years, we have laughed, cried, hugged, but most of all loved.

My mom is my best friend, my go to girl.

I’m the girl that is constantly asked by friends, “Oh my goodness, I can’t believe you told your mom that!”

Yes, it’s true. I tell my mom everything.

The world is tough and it can be brutal and friends come and go but my mom has never left my side, and for that I’m so thankful.

She may not always tell me the things I want to hear, but she makes sure that what needs to be said, is said.

My mom is the woman who will answer the phone at 3 am when I’m crying my eyes out because living four hours away from her is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

She is the woman who will drop anything she’s doing to talk to me and lift my spirits.

She is the woman who will wake up in the middle of the night and come sleep with me because I had a bad dream. (yes, I may be a child at heart)

She is the woman who will laugh at what I’m telling her, even when she wants to cry.

I can’t thing of a single thing that my mom and I haven’t gotten through together, and I can whole heartedly say that I don’t know how I could possibly ever live without her.

I am thankful for the woman who has the biggest heart for Jesus that I know. Thank you for teaching me between right and wrong, to always be kind, and to treat others the way that I want to be treated.

I know that these past twenty years haven’t always been a breeze with me, but I can’t thank you enough for your continuous love and support.

I hope to be half the mom that you are someday.
