I hope you know of the people that walk this Earth you're my favorite of all time. You are the one who has been there no matter the circumstance or situation. Yeah I know I disappoint you more often than not, but I am glad you have never truly given up on me.

You are my life encyclopedia. You give me any advice you have about what's happening in life, not too much to overwhelm me but enough for me to learn for myself. I love that I can always call you for guidance because you are the only one who's opinion I truly value. I can turn to you about anything bad or good and wont have to worry about holding any secrets because after all you were my first best friend ever. I can always rely on you to be there morally and physically. You have even taken a bus to my first game of the season just to surprise me because you knew how much it meant to me.

You are the first person I call when something good or bad happens. The main person who's arms I need to crawl into because mommy, my day was hard. You are always there to give me that moral boost and my number one fan in my cheering section in all that I do. I honestly could not imagine what I would do with out you. Just seeing your face sometimes makes everything feel a little better, and your hugs can cure all; which is hard to get because I'm away.

I hope you know that I am so proud of you. You have made changes like leaps and bounds better than before. From coach of the year to all of the organizations you volunteer for you take on so much and rarely complain about it...ever. Mom you are one of the most well versed people in life. I have so much respect for you and all the decisions you've had to make for us over the years. I didn't understand why you would choose some of the choices but as I grow older and understand more I can't thank you enough for them. The life you live has never been easy but you handle it like a champ.

Mom, you don't understand how thankful I am for you, how much we are all thankful for you. You selflessly devote your time to anyone who needs it. You are extremely involved in our lives, and look out for anyone you love. You take so much of the bullshit thrown at you and turn it into your motivation. This past year especially has taken a toll on you, I can see when you are stressed even though you try to hide it. I know it gets to you sometimes but the thing is you man-up and take on the world that tried repeatedly to knock you down while standing tall and proud. No matter the heart break, hardship, or wrong doing you still move on and use it to create a better life for all of us. Whether you know it or not you are my idol, the OG idol since I was just an embryo chilling in your belly. I aspire to be as strong, independent and bad ass as you are among many other traits that would require me to write a novel to just list them.

I know us kids are getting older especially me but that doesn't mean we love you any less. Yes mom I know sometimes I let hormones get the best of me but I will always apologize. I know I make a lot of bad choices but I hope you know I still try to make you proud. These next couple of years will be the ones I start slowly leaving the house (hopefully) and grow up a lot(against my will) but in all honesty you know I'm going to be home more often than not because I miss my mom even though when I'm home I spend my life in my room.

you deserve the world and all I can give you right now is this article to hold you over until I become a millionaire. I am so happy that I am half of you because to even be half the woman you are is an honor that I am proud to have. Stay strong momma, but no matter what I will be here for you even when you're not.

I love you Mommy,
