Dear Mom,
Where do I even start?
Over the years you've been like a second mom to me. Sometimes I even see you more than my own mom. You've opened your home and your heart to me, and for that I'll forever be grateful. We've done so much together over the years that I really feel like I'm part of the family. From concerts, to baseball games, to grocery shopping at eleven o'clock at night, you always make me feel included.
Besides giving me a second home, you've given me a best friend. I don't know what I would do without her. She is such a compassionate, loyal friend. There's no question that she gets those traits from you. Being brought up by such a loving family and an incredible mother has had such a massive impact on her. I am envious of that. You sure did raise her right.
Since the day I became friends with your daughter, I became friends with you, too. I still remember driving home from that Justin Bieber concert in 2011 and thinking "wow, her mom is so cool!" I still think that to this day. You've brought me along to so many events that I never would have had to opportunity to attend if it weren't for you. I don't know many other moms that would willingly sit through hours of sometimes painful concerts just to see her daughter be that happy. We still go to plently that you love, too, especially country concerts. Hell, we've even met artists and fangirled together. Not many daughters can say that their mom is as big of a fangirl as they are.
Our relationship has reached a level that I have with very few people. I won't rub aloe on just anyone's sunburn, but I'd gladly do it for you, even when your own daughter won't. I usually roll my eyes or cringe when I get a text with a Bitmoji or a meme, but when I get them from you, they actually make me smile and sometimes even laugh (only when it's a really good one). There's nothing I love getting more than getting a thoughtful message from you on a holiday or birthday that really makes me feel like your daughter.
I know that you'll be in my life for many years to come. I am certain that my friendship with your incredible daughter will last a lifetime, which means you're stuck with me! Despite our differences (mainly our choice of football teams), I love you to the moon and back. I hope that one day I'll have a daughter that will have the same relationship with your own daughter that I have with you. I want to be the same kind of second mom to my kids friends as you've been to me.
Thank you for everything you've done for me and always being so generous and selfless.
