Dear Mom,
Thanks for everything. I turned out awesome.
Okay I'm kidding.
You, mom, have been with me from the very beginning.You carried me in your tummy. You cleaned the food out of my baby fat rolls. You clothed and fed me as a child. You gave me a home to live in. And all of that is great and I'm so thankful.
But through all of that, it is your love I am most thankful for.
Because let's face it- without love for this little chubster, it would all seem that it was done in vain.
But instead, with every blessing or gift or job you did for me, it was done joyfully because of your love for me and my siblings. You sacrificed more than I would have ever asked for, in order to see me grow up comfortably.
You were my defense when I needed it. My comfort when I was sad. You were the shirt I wore when I missed you at night. You were my one (and probably my only) cheerleader when I would step out of my comfort zone. You were my courage in those times as well.
You taught me how to love. You showed me how to laugh. I pray for you everyday and I will not stop.
You are my mama.
And that will never change.
