Dear Mom,

Today is your day! Happy Mother's Day. To me, your child, you are the best mom that I could ask for. That's what Mother's Day is for. Mother's Day is for celebrating your mom- the best mom any child could ask for.

As a mom, you've always been there for me. You were there for me when I wasn't feeling well and needed to stay home from school. You always know how to make me feel better, no matter what's wrong. As a mother, you were at every dance recital, music program and sporting event that I was a part of while growing up. You have supported me in every thing I have done and continue to do. You never minded packing my lunch every day before school because I didn't like cafeteria food. You were there every morning to make sure that I ate breakfast before I went to school, especially before a big test. You always make sure that I have everything I need.

Now that I'm older, I've come to realize that you have shaped me into who I am today. Every lesson that you've taught me while growing up has shaped me as a person and has helped me grow into a responsible adult. Thank you for celebrating my successes with me and helping me learn from my failures. Without your unending love and support, I would not have accomplished the goals I have set out to reach. I am thankful that you are understanding and always willing to listen to what I have to say. I may tell you often not to worry too much, but I know that you worry about me because you love me so much.

This Mother's Day, I hope you know how much you are loved and how much I appreciate you. By being my mother, you have taught me countless life lessons. I am forever grateful for all of the things that you have done for me and continue to do today. No matter how old I am, I will always need my mom. I know that by being your child, I will always be loved and supported.

Love,

Your child
