Dear Mom,
I know I'm not always the best at expressing how I feel, and you might think that I take some of the things you do for granted. The truth is, I'm so used to having an amazing mom that I sometimes forget to thank you for everything you do. I want you to know that I appreciate you, I love you, and I owe all of my success to you. Thank you, Mom. Thank you...
