Dear mom,

Thank you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for always being there when I needed someone the most. Thank you for always being my biggest cheerleader. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for not getting annoyed, but feeling happy for the awful screeching coming from my room while trying to learn a different instrument. Or the constant singing coming from my room 24/7.

We may butt heads once and awhile but, you've always been my rock, and my strongest support system. I appreciate you so much. Everything you have done for me was out of love and compassion to help me become more prepared for the real world.

You've always been my constant supporter, whether my decision was a wise decision or not. You've always supported me with all my music programs and performances not matter how early they were or how long they would take. You have also supported my journalism path through out high school and during my college years.

I love coming home and talking to you. Our conversations are sometimes overwhelming but I need it to sick in, or were talking about life in general. No matter if the talk is short or long it's so meaningful because we can just talk to each other, or even sing songs on the radio like no ones listening.

Music is such a huge part of our lives. We both can sing to just about anything that comes on the radio. Yeah we may annoy the rest of the family but we enjoy being our true selves.

I cherish our relationship so much. Everyone says that their mom is their best friend, and I couldn't agree more. You and I are a lot a like. We both have the same vision for several things, whether it's hanging things around the house, or how want to change the way we do family dinners. We just know where we are weak and we pick up where the other left off. It's a team effort.

I would be so lost without you as my best friend. You know exactly what to say when I'm down. You know what to do when I'm having to make a big decision. You've alway been my rock, and my solid ground. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me.

Considering how close we are shows that we know what each other is feeling even if we aren't together. We know when we need to send a text to either check up on each other or just to say a friendly hello. We know just exactly when its needed the most, for good or bad we always understand each other.

Thank you mom. Thank you for everything you do. You've done so much for me as I have been going through my journey called life.

I love you forever and a day.
