You brought me into this world and for that I could not be more grateful. You have shown me right from wrong, and have supported all of my decisions. I may have messed up a lot growing up, but you never gave up on me. You are my best friend and I love you.

You have taken me to and from every practice, every game, every lesson, and every recital. I drove you crazy. When I wanted to quit a sport or activity because I didn't like it, you never let me quit. You always said, "Finish out the season, and we will go from there," for that alone I cannot thank you enough. You instilled hard-work, and perseverance in me. I played too many sports to count and you always shelled out money for the equipment without ever complaining.

Once I got old enough to start being interested in boys' you knew you would be in for a trip. When I started dating my first boyfriend, you were so supportive. I hid all of the bad things he did to me because I knew you would hate him for it. You knew something was wrong because the sparkle in my eye was gone. You told me to send him on his way and that one day I will meet Mr. Right. Thank you so much, for dealing with me through the heartbreak. Without you, I may have never met my fiancé, whom you love like your own son.

Thank you for all the endless support, and unconditional love. Without you, I would not be the individual I am today. I love you.
