Dear Mommy,

Thank you for being the best mother that a girl could ever ask for. You are one of the only people in the world that I can count on at any time of the day. This letter is my way to say thank you for everything you've done and thank you for being my best friend.

Not many girls get the chance to say that their mom is their best friend, but luckily I have that privilege. You are the one and only person on this Earth that I trust with everything. Having a mom who is always there rooting for me to succeed and be the best that I can be is worth more than anything money could buy. I know sometimes it may seem like I take the things that you do for me for granted, and I'm sorry for that, but I promise I appreciate everything you do.

You put the boys and I first every single day of your life, even when we don't really deserve it. Thank you for going to all of my softball games and supporting me throughout the good games and the just plain ugly ones. Thank you for picking up the phone when I call from the bathroom because I need toilet paper, even though I know you hate when I do that. Thank you for putting up with me at work, especially on the days that you really didn't want to. And thank you for instilling in me a strong work ethic. I truly would not be where I am today without that.

Without you, I would not be the person that I am today, and I am very grateful that I had you to help me along the way. You truly are not only the best friend I could ever have, but you are the best mother that anyone could have. I love you and I miss you every day that I am away at school.
