Happiness. When I think of you, that’s the first word that comes to my mind. Throughout my entire life you have done everything and anything to make sure I’m happy.

It started by making sure all of my needs were met, and now it’s constantly asking if I’m okay. So let me answer it now for you, I really am. In fact, I am more than okay.

This is due to the fact that I have you by my side. Whether or not I have been feeling awful, I know you’re there for me. Comedy shows and fuzzy socks is comfort for us. I love when you suggest we bake something (or go buy donuts) when I’m upset. How you don’t even have to ask if I’m feeling sad. As soon as I hug you in that specific way you know exactly what I need.

As much as I appreciate you being in my sentimental moments, I love our adventures together. We make everything we do an adventure (yes, even that time we got lost driving to the store). There’s always singing and dancing in the car. To stopping at a random store just to waste time. Deciding to try out a new recipe we saw on the Food Network, but then changing our minds. I even find myself loving when you wake me up early on a Saturday to clean the house. To be fair, I just like the fact that I get to play the music I want. You’ll pretend you know the lyrics and start dancing.

At the end of the day, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for listening to me complain about how stressed out I am. Thank you for making me tea when I’m working on school stuff. Thank you for loving me. But most importantly, thank you for being my mom. I definitely got lucky on that department.
