First off, I want to start by saying happy birthday and second I would like to say thank you. You have been there for me my whole life. During my struggles and my triumphs, my successes and my failures. You taught me to be independent and to always pick myself back up when I fall. You were also always there to catch me when I did.

You raised me on your own and have always been the independent woman I inspire to be. The love in your heart is more than I ever thought could be possible. The selflessness and humble personality you have is astonishing. You do everything for your kids and you are always there for them. You are the strongest woman I know and I wish to always be as strong as you.

Ever since I was a little girl, you have always been my role model and you always will. I love looking back at old pictures when I was little and love making new ones. You have always been my best friend and the one who I always want to go to for advice. Whenever I am going through something or something great happens, you are always the first person I want to tell. You always know what to say and how to handle things.

There will never be another person that knows me as well as you do. Sometimes, I swear you know me better than I know myself. I am always someone who tries and hides if I am ever hurt but you always see right through it. You get me more than anyone.

We always joke and say you are wonder woman because that’s who you wanted to be when you were little. I believe it is true because you truly are a wonder. You are both a lover and a fighter. You have a way of knowing things and how to conquer the worst. You know how to make someone smile even when they are having a bad day. You teach your kids strength and how to be independent. Compassion is another thing you teach us and how to be humble. You have taught me so much.

I am a college student now and have been enjoying my schooling. I have a family who loves me and will always be there for me. I have you, someone I could always count on and love very much. I wouldn’t be where I am if it weren’t for you. Independence and strength is something I always remember from your teachings. You are my role model and are the one person I want to be proud of me. Your opinion is the world to me and so I will always want to make you proud because you make me proud. I will always be thankful to have you as a mom. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you as a mother. You are my wonder woman.

I love you.

Happy Birthday Mom.
