Dear Mom,

Ever since I was young, you have always played a huge and vital role in my life. You served as a mentor, a best friend, and most importantly, a mother. You have always pushed me to be my best in everything that I do, so I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to make mistakes. A huge part of growing up is making mistakes and learning from them. Thank you for allowing me to make these mistakes and not holding me back. Allowing me to be my own person and make my own choices.

Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for supporting me in everything I do. Whether it was coming to all my games and competitions or sharing my articles with everyone you know, you were always there for me and supported me every step of the way.

Thank you for pushing me to be my best. You never allowed me to give up. In everything I did in life, you continued to push me to be my best in every aspect.

Thank you for never allowing me to give up. There were times in my early life when giving up seemed like a better option than continuing; however, you never allowed me to do this. You continued to provide me with the unconditional love and support I needed to continue.

And most importantly, thank you for being my mom!

I will always love you Mom
