Dear Mom,

First of all, I hope you understand that you are so so so much more than a mother to me. You're my role model and my best friend. When I was younger I was always by your side, and growing up and all through my years of high school, I was a grump (realistically, I still am, but that's beside the point). Thank you for never giving up on me. And for always forgiving me for acting like such a jerk towards you. Just please know that I am sorry, and I don't mean it.

I am so thankful to have you as my mother, and I am forever grateful to have a mother who would do absolutely anything for me. Thank you so much mom, for everything you do.

Thank you for answering all my stupid questions when I'm lacking common sense and thank you for always checking up on me and asking how my day is going. I really appreciate it all.

Thank you for laying down with me when I couldn't sleep. Thank you for listening to me complain about the stupid boys who hurt me and for reminding me I deserve the best. Thank you for knowing exactly what to do to make me feel better, moms always do know best.

Thank you for being my rock. No matter what, you're always there to stand up for me, especially when I was too shy to do it myself. Thank you for teaching me to not let people walk all over me and to stand up for what I believe in. It is because of you and dad that I am who I am, and I am beyond grateful to have you as my mother.

Thank you for being my role model. I truly wish to be just like you as I raise my own family someday. Thank you for being my unconditional best friend, always.

Thank you for doing it all and being an amazing mother. Thank you for inspiring me to be better every single day. I know I don't say it often, but there's no one else I'd rather have as my mother.

I am beyond proud to be your daughter.

Thank you for always being on my team, I love you forever.

Love always,
Your Proud Daughter
