My mother has done so much for me in my short 19 years. And even as I've said before in 12 Ways My Mom Is Better Than Yours, she means the most to me.
She knows life without me, but I never want to know life without her. Often times I get so caught up in living my own life, that I forget to stop and take appreciation for the most important woman in my life. So here is my attempt at the thank you list my mother deserves:
