Mother's Day is right around the corner and it's all about moms. All kinds of moms. Moms who gave birth to you. Mom's who raised you. Dad's who play the role of mom. Really anyone who is like a mother to you. These things apply to all those people. It doesn't have to be a holiday for me to thank my mom but here are a few things I want her to know I'm thankful for this Mother's Day.
