Dear Mom,

I am beyond happy to say that you are finally my mom. I have been waiting for this for what feels like forever, and the anticipation and tricks practically killed me, but you already know that. Today I want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me in the past few months, and what you will do from here on out.

When I first met you, I can honestly say I never thought we would be as good of friends as we are. Fast forward about 5 months, I can’t imagine my life without you. I thought we were so different at first, but I learned in such a short time that that could not be further from the truth. I was shocked to find how similar we were, but I’m so glad I did.

When the time came to choose a mom, I knew I wanted you. I’m the most indecisive person you will ever meet, but there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that you were going to be my mom. You’re everything I wanted in a mom and more, and I knew that deep down, I only wanted you.

I knew I wanted a mom who would always be there for me and support me through anything, and you do just that. Even when I barely knew you, you were a constant source of support to me in everything I did.

I also wanted a mom who I could go to with anything and trust you would keep all my secrets, something I found in you early on. It did not matter how big or small the thing was, I trusted you and you never broke that, and to this day you still haven’t. I’m not the most trusting person, but you made it easy.

I wanted a mom who was similar to me, and like you said before, We are the same person. We have similar interests; from the same major and minor, a passion to dance, our love for shopping, and so much more. I found so much of me in you, more than I’ve found in anyone else I’ve ever met.

Sorority bigs/moms are there for guidance and mentoring above all else, and that was something important to me. I knew I wanted my mom to be someone who could guide me, and show me how to be the best sister I can be. And mom, you’ve been doing that since the beginning. I value your advice and the things you tell me, you have no idea how much it has meant to me. I have asked you around a billion and one questions about not only Greek life, but life in general, and you’ve always given me your honest opinion. It doesn’t matter what it is, you’ve helped me and guided me through so much in such a short amount of time.

If you don’t take anything else away from this letter, I hope you at least know this: I love you mom, it’s always been you. I know you were put in my life 5 months ago for many reasons, and I’m so glad the universe brought us together.

Thank you for being the mom I never knew I needed and I don’t think I would be where I am today if I didn’t have you to lean on.

I love you mom, forever and always.

Love, Kiddie
