Dear Mom,
I know you've been dreading this day since my freshman year of high school. I know it's been hard watching your only girl grow up. You've been nothing but an absolute blessing in my life. You have always been there for me. I know this can't be easy on you. Part of me doesn't want to leave, either. It'll be hard at first. We've been through everything together. You were always there for me, even when I messed up. You've seen me laugh, cry, fail, and succeed. You were there for my first softball game and you were there when I performed on TV. You never missed a game or any show I've been in. You've seen it all.
The past eighteen years have been such an adventure for us. I'm ready for a new adventure, though. And I'm so excited to tell you about all of the crazy things that go on. I cannot wait for our Facetime sessions and emoji wars. We have so much to look forward to together.
Mom, Thank you for everything that you've done for me. You've been such an amazing influence on my life and I only wish that one day I'm half as brave as you are. You are a wonderful parent that truly wants the best for her child and I cannot thank you enough for that. Thank you for caring, even when you're tired. Thanks for getting up at ungodly hours to help me when I was sick. Thank you for wiping my tears away after a bad breakup. And most of all, thanks for making me food when I'm way too lazy to make it myself (aka all the time). You've always been there for me, and I know things won't change, even if I'm farther away.
I know you're upset about me leaving and growing up. I can tell. But I'm also not going away forever. You should be so proud because you taught me all of the things I need to know. You have definitely prepared me for the real world so don't be worried about me.
You are so amazing. I love you. I cannot wait for the memories to come. We'll have plenty more adventures together. I can't wait to see what you continue to accomplish within your career. You'll always be my crazy partner in crime. I'll also miss stealing your clothes. Just know that although things are changing, I'm still your little peanut.
Love, Kylee
