Dear Mom,
Know you're my go-to.
From 3 a.m. phone calls from the club telling you about the asshole I met, to face timing me to show me how to cook myself dinner, you're ALWAYS my go-to girl. It seems as if moms have the answers to absolutely everything in the world, so thank you for always knowing exactly how to help.
Know your guidance has taught me more than you'll ever know.
Yes, when I was little you taught me not to call people names, or eat dessert before dinner- but you've shaped me into so much more over the years. From my crazy drama-filled teen years, you've taught me the true meaning of friendship, what I deserve in a relationship, and how to take anything life throws at me with a smile and a confident attitude. Mom, you're a bad ass and you know what they say, "I got it from my momma."
Know you are every little girl's perfect role model.
You take whatever life gives you, and you kill it. You've taken over the role of both parents, and you still manage to support us and give us everything we've ever wanted and more. You're my personal nurse, chef, therapist, academic advisor, etc. all in one. You're so hardworking and dedicated to everything you do, and you inspire me to become just like you. The world really needs more people like you, mom.
Know I Thank you for always telling me the truth, even if I don't want to hear it.
You're always keeping it real girlfriend. No one wants to hear that the boy they like is actually a fratty asshole, or that the dress really does make you look fat, but at the end of the day your mom's opinion or view is ALWAYS right.
Know you always accept me, and defend me.
I swear I could kill someone and you'd still have my back (ok not really, but you get the point). I love that you let me make my own decisions, even if they're against your opinion. And when the time comes that I realized I messed up and you were right, you never tell me "I told you so". Instead, you comfort me in my mistakes and show me how to grow and learn from them all. So thanks for always being in my corner, even when I'm totally wrong and everyone (including you) knows it.
Know I cherish you for always being my biggest fan.
From dance recitals when I was little, to every award ceremony, to sports banquets, and for just calling me randomly to tell me you're proud of me. Your confidence and pride in me builds me up every single day and reminds me that I always have a purpose in this life.
Lastly, know I thank you for being my best friend.
For being the "cool mom" and picking me and my friends up at 3am from the parties. For singing and dancing around the living room with me on Friday nights, and always being the first person you tell your work gossip too. For holding me when I cry, and crying with me from laughing. For all the inside jokes people think we're crazy for, and the memories we've made that will last a lifetime. You're my number one chick, and my mom all in one, know you're my superwoman.
