Mother's Day is the one day a year that is dedicated to our wonderful mothers. However, when you really think about it, every day should be dedicated to our mothers. Sure, they physically brought us into this world so we should be eternally grateful or that, but the extremes they've gone to after the fact are what really make them so special. Your daily selflessness doesn't go unnoticed. And to the dad's who have taken on the role of both mom and dad, you deserve endless thanks as well. So, to all of the mothers out there that don't feel as loved, as special or as appreciated as you should, here are a few things we as your children thank you for. Thank you.

1. For always having food in the fridge and food in the cupboards.

2. For always making sure our uniforms are washed and dried for us to make dirty again.

3. For always putting on such a brave face when it was obvious you were struggling with something.

4. For always being a shoulder to cry on and someone to come to for advice about anything.

5. For always putting yourself out there and showing me that it's okay to step out of your comfort zone.

6. For being someone that I look up to and can strive to be like one day.

7. For putting trust in me to make my own decisions while at the same time being there if I find a bump in the road and need guidance.

8. For making me the best "me" I can be and not allowing me to fit a certain mold in society.

9. For pushing me to my full potential, whether in sports, school, a job or just my daily life.

10. For never giving up on me when I gave up on myself.

11. For being you, and for choosing me to take on the crazy adventure of life with you.
