Dear Mom,

I don't think I could ever say it enough, thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for the many, many car rides to and from Plymouth. I love our hour trips together in the car blasting country music and just talking to each other. It might be lame, but every time I have to say goodbye to you is hard, even if it's only for a few weeks. Thank you for always just being a phone call away. Whether I'm walking across campus or just lonely, I can always count on you to pick up that phone when I call. And even thank you for checking up on me when I forget to call you one day. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't talk to you basically every day. Thank you for always worrying about me. You're constantly making sure I have enough food and everything I need while I'm at school. I am super lucky to have someone who cares and worries about me so much. Thank you for raising me right. Thank you for instilling me with a hard work ethic and good values. Thank you for making family the most important part of my life. Looking at myself, I've realized that I take after you in so many ways. I am so proud of this because there is no one else I'd rather take after. Thank you for always putting me and my siblings before yourself. I can only hope that I am as selfless of a person as you are when I grow up. Thank you for always being there to talk to. As soon as something happens in my life you are the first person I can't wait to tell about it. There really aren't words to express how much you mean to me, but I hope this letter at least does it some justice.You are the sweetest most amazing person and I owe all of my successes in life to you.

Love,

Your Favorite Child (even though you won't admit it :P)
