You have been there for me through everything. From my first steps to learning how to drive and everything in between. I know we fight sometimes and I might not seem like I appreciate you enough, but I really do. So I want to thank you for everything you do for me.
Thank you for the constant advice.
From outfit choices to finances you truly give the best advice. While I might not always admit it, your advice is what has gotten me through life thus far. Not a day goes by that I don't use some form of advice you have given me over the years.
Thank you for listening.
When I have a bad day and just need to vent, I always have you. Thank you for lending a listening ear to every problem I have. Whether it be work or the professor who I constantly think has it out for me, thank you for simply listening to me. I appreciate that beyond words.
Thank you for your truthfulness.
No matter what, you always tell me the truth. You aren't afraid to tell me when I'm screwing up, or when I've made a bad decision. You aren't afraid to tell me when an outfit makes me look fat. It's this truthfulness that shows me that I can always go to you. Thank you for always telling me what I NEED to hear, not always what I WANT to hear.
Thank you for always believing in me.
No matter what it is that I am doing, you always have complete faith in me. It is so encouraging to know that I always have your confidence in me in whatever I do.
Thank you for your strength.
You mom, are the strongest woman I know. Over the years I've watched as you've struggled to make ends meet, and yet you always did so with a smile. Watching you taught me that having faith and not giving up are the keys to success.
Thank you for your time.
You are a busy woman. Yet you always make time for me. Thank you for constantly being there to answer the phone when I have a problem, or being there for me when I'm homesick and just need my mom.
Thank you for always being there for me.
No matter what it is you are always there for me. If I call you at 6:00 in the morning because my boyfriend broke up with me I know you will answer. If I am too scared to go to the doctor by myself still, I know you will drop everything and still go with me. I appreciate how much you care about me so much.
But most of all, thank you for being my best friend.
From shopping to cooking to tasting new wines, you are always down to do anything I want to do. I learn so much from you every time I am in your presence. You are such a kind hearted woman. I wouldn't be half the woman I am today if it weren't for you. I know it may not seem like it sometimes, but I really do appreciate you mom. This letter does no justice to the amount of appreciation I have for you, but I want you to know that I love you with all my heart. I hope I'm at least half the mother that you are someday.
