Mom,
Words will never be able to explain how thankful I am for you. You have always told me you are my biggest fan and I kick myself for not seeing it sooner. You are truly wonderful for loving me the way you do and supporting me through every choice I make. I know you are and always will be there rooting me on through the rest of my life.
No matter what mistakes I make, you always stand by me and love me unconditionally. I know calling myself a handful would never begin to describe the gray hairs I have caused you and with that, thank God for hair color. I miss getting to talk to you face to face every day even when we argue, phone calls and text messages will never be able to substitute seeing you smile or shake your head at me. Moving on in my life was one of the hardest things I will ever have to do, but knowing you support me makes it much easier to take on.
My mistakes are of the plenty and I am slowly learning how to survive in this crazy adult world; however, I could never do it without your constant love and support. It goes without saying that your guidance through life is the only reason I have grown into the strong, independent young woman I am today. Absolutely lost would only begin to describe how I would be if I did not have you in my life. You make a point not to hold my hand, but you are certain to always make sure I know you have my back through everything I do. Your faith in my abilities is what helps me keep my faith in myself.
When I fall, I know you are always there to catch me and help me back to my feet again. You are watching me make this journey on my own, but I know you are following close behind to ensure I keep my head on straight. I know I can call you whenever I need someone to vent to about school, stress, or anything else life throws my way. I can talk to you about anything without any fear of judgement or anger. I know, no matter what mistakes I make, you will always help me get through them.
People say that a child is a mother’s greatest gift, but it is truly an amazing gift to have a mother, especially a mother as kind and loving as you. I can say with the utmost confidence that I have one of the greatest moms anyone could ever wish for. I consider myself fortunate to have a mother in my life but I am truly blessed beyond words to have received one like you. God chose very carefully before giving me you as my guardian through life. I will never understand how I became so lucky when it comes to you, but I am far from disappointed by his choice.
I love you, Mom.
Love, your not-so-little girl.
