Hey Mom,
Thank you for being you. Thank you for loving me with all of your being every single day. Thank you for giving me constant encouragement and for picking me up when I'm feeling down. You're my No. 1 fan, my biggest supporter, and you're always rooting for me in everything I do. From grades to sports, to my job, I can always count on you to be right by my side through it all.
You attended all of my sports games, all of my school events, plays, practices, etc. You packed my lunch until I was in the ninth grade — I miss that. You drove me everywhere I needed to go, then taught me how to drive with an extreme amount of patience and persistence. You dealt with all of my sass and attitude from when I was a teenager and all of the drama that comes along with it. You even go to concerts and sit in the pit with me while we jam out to our favorite band. I can't thank you enough for enduring all of this just for me. Whoever said moms can't be their daughters best friends are clearly wrong, because you're my No. 1 best friend.
You've taught me how to be compassionate, brave and how to overcome anything that gets thrown my way. You've taught me how to be respectful and mature to my peers and adults, and I couldn't thank you more for that. You've accepted me through all of my pits and peaks, despite who I thought I was or who I wanted to be. I know that you love me, and through that, I've learned to love others just as well.
You make me want to do better. You make me want to achieve so much more. You motivate me in every thing I do because I do it for you. I want to make you proud, and I strive to be more like you every single day. You carry a lot on your plate, but you don't let that stop you from giving your all. You taught me that no matter what I do, I should do it with 110 percent at all costs. You've taught me how to be a leader and a hard-worker when it comes to things I am passionate about. Thank you for pushing me to be a better version of myself.
I love you more than I'll ever be able to put into words. I know I don't say it enough, but I am thankful for you and everything you do for me. You're generous, selfless, kind and humorous, and I couldn't ask for anything more in a mom. You mean the world to me, and I hope you know that. I love you!
xoxo,
Your Favorite Child ;-)
