“A mother is someone who can take the place of all others, but whose place no one else can take.” It’s true, a mom is a little bit of everything, from personal chef to chauffeur to nurse to best friend. My mom does anything and everything, she always puts my needs in front of hers no matter how tired, hungry, mad or sad she is. Our joy is her joy. In return, she needs two things, love and appreciation.
Thank you for showering us with your love and blessings every single day. When we’re little, we worship you. When we grow up we take advantage of you. It’s just part of human nature, but I promise you there’s not a day where I don’t appreciate you. I may not show it as well as I think I do, but trust me, you’re the biggest blessing in my life.
Thank you for always listening even when I don’t speak. You understand me better than anyone else. You see things that I don’t even see in myself. You always guide in the right direction and only ever hope for the best for us. Thank you for always giving the best advice and helping me appreciate the better things in life.
Thank you for your laughter and beautiful smile. If I didn’t see that everyday, I would probably go crazy. Your laughter is contagious and I’m blessed to be able to hear it all the time. Spending time with you in the car jamming out to old Bollywood songs, taking selfies, and having talks about life are just a few of the most amazing times I have with you.
I really don’t know why we tend to skip over how important mothers are and don’t tend to acknowledge all that they do for us. We wouldn’t be the people we are today if it wasn’t for them. Yes, sometimes my mom is insane, but most of the time, she’s my best friend. She knows me better than I know myself. She’s able to cheer me up better than anyone or anything else (including ice cream). Your love is unconditional and it shouldn’t be taken for granted, but then again, there really isn’t anything that can make up for all that you’ve done. No matter what I do, who I become, where I go, I promise you this, YOU are the most amazing person in the entire world. Without you, there would be no me. Without your love and support, I am nothing, I am no one. If I can grow up to be half the woman you are, I’ll be happy. I just want you to know that I love you.
“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I live, my mommy you’ll be.”
