MOM. I feel so much comfort in those three letters, because the love of a mother is one thing that never fades away.

1. I love you!

Most importantly, I want you to know I love you. Thank you for always loving me unconditionally. As you would say, LYAFNMW (love you always and forever no matter what).

2. You're my role model.

When most people think of a role model, they name off the biggest pop star or the new celebrity, but you are my role model. If one day I can be at least half the woman you are,I will be perfectly content with my life. Thank you for always setting the best example to look up to.

3.You taught me to never be selfish.

As I have watched you through every aspect of life, you never once have been selfish. You have always made sure I had everything I needed and always made sure you provided for your family.

4. You have taught me to set goals and achieve them.

From watching you,you have always set goals and never stopped until you achieved them. I have watched you achieve all of your goals you have set. Thank you for always showing me I can do anything I set my mind to.

5. You have taught me to always smile.

Even when you get discouraged, you always smile through it. You always show your strength through any and every situation and I admire that about you.

6.You taught me to care about family and show th unconditional love all the time.

No matter how far away you are from your family, you always make sure you keep in touch with them. You have always been a family person.

7. You have taught me to have compassion.

Ever since I can remember,you have always taught me to have compassion. You have always taught me to give to others,and you will get greater in return. Thank you for leading by example and teaching me to always show compassion.

8. You have taught me to always keep God first!

This is the most important one to me for sure. Thank you for raising me in church, teaching me to love Christ and love people, and showing me how much you love Christ. You havw always made sure I knew that my faith was most important in life, and with that knowledge, I know I am capable of going far in the crazy world.

Thank you for loving me and raising me to the young woman I am today. I'm forever grateful God sent me a mother as loving and gentle as you!
