Dear Mom,
I know this article is coming out after your birthday, but... happy birthday! Right now you're either at home enjoying a day off or up here with me escaping the hurricane. No matter where you are, I hope you're having a great, relaxing day because that's what you deserve. I'm sorry I couldn't be at home with you on your birthday, and I hope that you had an amazing day.
You are truly the most selfless person I have ever met, and I am so blessed to have you as a role model. You have taught me unconditional love, kindness, and compassion. You have shown me how to work hard for the things I want (despite how hard calculus gets). You put people before yourself and show acts of love and kindness in all that you do. No matter what is going on in your own life, you always make it a point to look after the ones in your life that you love the most.
I just wanted to say thank you for all you do and for being the incredible woman that you are. Thank you for supporting me in my decisions and actions with no exceptions. You have never made me feel anything but loved and supported, and I am forever grateful for that. Thank you for everything you have done for me. You've given me the world, and you deserve the world yourself. I can only hope that I will be even half the mother you are to my future children!
Love you!
- Your Favorite Daughter
