Since I was born, I've always had my mother there for me through every circumstance, never taking into account how much she actually has done for me. As I've grown up and gone to college, I realize more and more every day why I am so incredibly thankful for my mother. With limitless love and support constantly surrounding me, I wouldn't be who I am today without her, and I am endlessly grateful. These are the five main reasons (though there are an infinite amount) of why I am thankful for my mom.

1. She's my number one fan.

My mom's been my cheerleader my entire life, constantly encouraging me to be my best and uplifting me even when I fail to do so. Whenever I have any accomplishments, no matter how small, I can always count on my mom to rave about it for hours, boosting me up and congratulating me. She's the only person who will let me talk about myself over and over again and not get bored.

2. She's always willing to sacrifice.

Whenever I need anything, I can always count on my mom to make it happen. Whether it's financial or something simple, like giving me the last piece of dessert, my mom will give up anything to make sure I have the best outcome possible.

3. She's my role model.

My mom is beautiful, strong and everything I want to be someday. I will forever admire her grace and ability to be such a positive role model.

4. She's my teacher.

I can ask my mom the most embarrassing questions in the world and she will never judge me. Thanks to my mom, I know how to have table manners, do my own laundry, be an independent person, and so much more.

5. She's my best friend.

Besides being my mom, she's my best friend. She's who I go for the advice of any kind and the person I always want to hang out with. Days spent with my mom are some of the best and always filled with laughter.

Thank you, Mom, for all you do, I love you!
