Dear Mom,

I just wanted to stop and take the time to say thank you because I know I don't say it as much as I should. Quite frankly, no amount of times would actually express how thankful I am. You do everything for me, and it doesn't go unnoticed.

You are my best friend. No matter how much we fight and disagree, you're the first person I turn to when I am upset or need to vent. I know you will always listen and be honest… and there is no better friend than someone who always has your best interest in mind. For those of us who don't have any sisters, our moms really are our only built in besties, and we are so lucky because of it.

Going back to the fighting thing, I just want to make sure you know that I love you more than any fight we could ever have. Considering the fights that we do have are just plain DUMB, none of these silly arguments could ever mean more to me than you do.

I'm sorry for all the times I've argued with you just because… you don't deserve it. I'm sorry for all the times I've been bratty or in a bad mood and taken it out on you. Because you are so close to me, you tend to be the person I project everything onto and I am eternally sorry for it.

I am thankful for everything you have done for me and continue to do. You are a selfless human and a real role model to me. I hope one day I can be half the mother AND person you are. You make everyone's life easier, and just plain better.

How lucky am I to have someone I love and look up to as my mother?! You are a true friend. I cherish and appreciate you more than you could ever realize. Thanks for always having my back, I owe it all to you.

All the love in the entire world,

Your Daughter
