I’m writing this because I think that all of the moms out there need to be more appreciated.

There are so many things that moms do for their children, whether they are big or small. Of course, there are different types of moms: the strict moms, the cool moms, the soccer moms, and the loving moms. If you're lucky, you might get all of them!

There are so many things that are moms do for us every day, that we might not even think about. For one, they always make sure that we get our homework done and we get it checked if need be. If your mom works, she is probably exhausted from the day, but still manages to make a good meal for her family. If your mom stays home, she is doing things around the house trying to make it as comfortable as she can.

I've never really thought about how much my mom did for me until I left for college. I miss coming home to good meals and talking about all of the drama that is going on in my life. Of course, she is just one phone call away, but it really does mean more when it's in person. I miss being able to go to the mall with my mom so that she can tell me what looks good on me and what doesn't.

Although we didn't bake too much together when I was in high school, it always so much fun when we did. She always made sure that I got to lick the spoon when we were finally done making the batter. It's the little things that really did mean the most to me and I really do miss them more than she thinks.

I wanted to thank my mom for being my number one fan. There have been a lot of major events that have happened in my life, but she has always been there since day one. Even though we haven't always gotten along, at the end of the day there is no one else I would rather tell half of my problems to.

She gives me the tough love I need, especially when it involves the relationships or friendships I'm in.

Thank you for being there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on and when I needed extra encouragement to do something outside my comfort zone. I couldn't do a lot of the things I am doing without your support and I hope it's the same feeling for you. You are beautiful inside and out. Don't let anyone tell you any differently.
