Dear mom,

Thank you for everything you've done for me. You've sacrificed so much in order to give me the life that I deserve. When dad going into that horrible construction accident which lead him to stop working, you stepped in and become the sole breadwinner of the family. And although you've done it in the past, I was always amazed at the fact that you still had the energy to work hard.

And although you only received a middle school level education, you and dad always tried you best to help me with anything involving my education. I can clearly remember this one moment in high school that I need to go buy a book for a thesis paper. The only problem with this was that it in the town next to ours, and I had no way of getting there. You took the time to actually take me to buy it. Small actions like these are things I always appreciate about you.

I was always found you to be one of my closest confidants. Throughout high school, I felt like I could always come to you with any problems I was facing. You always gave me the best advice you could. You always understood my perspective on the situation yet you always tried your best to explain to me the other persons' point of view.

There are a couple of moments when I have no clue on what to wear or what even looks good on me. I've always felt like I can always send you a quick text asking you for your honest opinion. In the end, the style you had back when you were my age is my biggest fashion inspiration.

You're my biggest inspiration in general. Back when you were my age, you were able to support all of my siblings on your own. For almost a decade, you didn't need to rely on anyone to help you. You were on your own at a time when El Salvador was at it's most dangerous (with the Civil War going on at this time). You've always been the one to stand up for what you believe in and never letting people affect that. I admire you every single day. You're the best mom ever and I love you so much.

From,

Your daughter
