Dear mom,

There are an endless amount of things I want to thank you for, but where do I even begin? Throughout my life, you were always the person by side, through every up and every down. Every day, you have been there for me. Reflecting on all that you have done for me, it’s safe to say you are the definition of a human superhero mom. The times I felt lost and alone, you were there to not only tell me but to also show me that as long as I have you, I am not alone. You have guided me all these years and I couldn’t ever thank you enough. To the times when I felt like I didn’t even have myself, you were there to prove me otherwise. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for you. If I’m having a bad day, all I need to do is talk to you about it and somehow, you make all my little worries disappear. You make me shift my perspective and laugh about the little worry that once felt like the biggest issue. I believe there’s nothing in this world that I can’t do because you have made me feel like there is nothing in this world that I can’t do. You are and always have been willing to do whatever it takes to make your kids happy and I don’t know how you do it. Having three kids who are always trying to do something or go somewhere; you make it happen. All these years, I don’t know how you manage to keep up with the three of us. You are the superhero mom. You know how to make me feel better and you always have the best advice for any situation I am in. You manage to keep up with my weird adventurous side and instead of questioning it, you let it be. About a year ago, you and I got matching tattoos that say “Go live” and since then, I feel more alive. I try to make the most of my days and aim high towards whatever it is that my soul desires. I feel a desire to try new things and live my life to the fullest. I know you understand that because as I said, you just let me be who I am. I couldn’t thank you enough. I wouldn’t trade my life for anything because I truly do feel like I already have everything I need- and that is you and your infinite love. Thank you for being the best mother I could possibly imagine having. I could only hope that one day you see how much I appreciate all that you are and all that you do. Thank you for being you. I hope to be half the amazing woman you are someday.

Love always,

Your daughter
