My mom is the best person I know. She is always supportive, loves to have fun, and has helped shape me into the woman I am today. All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to you. Here are some of the most important things that I would like my mom to know.

1. I appreciate everything you do.

You have always gone out of your way to make sure that I am perfectly satisfied in life. You have always given me unconditional love and that is something that I really appreciate. No matter the time of day or night, you always pick up the phone and are there for me. It is such a great feeling knowing that I have someone that always goes out of their way for others and myself, so thank you, momma!

2. You inspire me to keep going.

I have witnessed many obstacles occur in both of our lives, but what is really fascinating to me, is that you never give up. Every time you are down or have a bumpy road ahead of you, you always just push through and do anything possible to overcome the situation. You have inspired me that no matter how hard things in life may seem, to never give up on my dreams. You are such an inspiration.

3. I am sorry.

Growing up, there have been many different things that I have done or said, that I never meant. I am sorry for the attitudes I have had, the eyes that have rolled, the sneaking away and hiding in the bushes, and so much more. I love you mom and I want you to know that for everything that I have done in the past, that I am truly sorry for all of the sass I have given you.

4. I love how I can always talk to you about anything.

No matter the topic or situation, I know that I can talk to you about anything. You are honestly a best friend of mine and I just love how we can spend hours talking about anything in the world.

5. Thank you for always believing in me.

There have been many struggles I have faced in my life. For instance, I have studied and worked so hard to reach my goals, and you have always had faith in me. You have always been there for me and have never stopped believing in me. Knowing that I have someone who never gives up hope on myself or my dreams is so special to me.

6. I will always be here for you.

I want you to know that I will always be here for you. I love you no matter what you do in life, no matter how many obstacles we face, and no matter where life takes us. You are the person I look up to and always remember that I will forever be here for you.

7. I know how much you have sacrificed for your children.

I can't imagine how difficult those sacrifices have been for you, but all that you have done to help support mine and my sisters' lives, is so very special. So thank you, mom, for waking up late in the night with us when we were babies, thank you for putting us first, and thank you for do everything in your power to support us. We sure do have one amazing momma!

8. The person I am today is because of you.

The person I have grown to become is all because of you. You have taught me so many lessons in life and have raised me into the woman I am today. Because of you, I know how to have good manners and how I should and shouldn't behave. You have influenced me in everything I do and I want to thank you for raising me right.

9. You honestly aren't a terrible cook.

If you know my mom, she believes that she is the worst cook on the planet. But honestly Mom, you aren't bad at all. Sure there have been times when the smoke detector have gone off, but you sure do know how to make a delicious dinner. So just know that I actually really love your cooking and am grateful that you provide for my sisters and me.

10. I am happy with our relationship.

Reflecting on my life, we sure have come a long way. Whenever I was going through that early teenage stage, I was so sassy to you at times. But we sure have overcome that time and have such a great relationship. I am so happy with the bond we share, the laughs we have, and the memories that keep growing. I love you!

11. I secretly love much we look alike.

Almost every day someone tells me that I look exactly like you, and I have always hidden the fact that I actually love that. We literally could be sisters, that's how much we resemble one another. So with that being said, this is something that I really want you to know. I love looking like your identical twin.

12. You are the girliest mom I know.

If anyone knows my mom, then you know that she is beyond girly. Heck, she has a store called Silly Silly Girls, drives a pink bug, and has a black poodle named King Louie. I absolutely love how girly you are and your bubbly personality. Now I know where I get it from!

13. I think about you every day.

Whenever I am away from home, or simply in class, there is always something about you on my mind. I wonder what you and my sisters are doing, how your store is going, or just the mom you are. Every night, I pray for the family our Lord has given me and for him blessing me with the perfect mom.

14. You are a role model for the type of mom I want to be.

I look at other moms and I wonder how I got so lucky. You have shown me how a true mother cares and loves for her child, and I am so thankful for that. Because of the mom you are, I know now how to treat my children, what lessons to teach them in life and to always be supportive of their dreams. Since you have been such an amazing mom, maybe one day I will name them what you've always wanted someone to be named. ;)

15. I can't imagine life without you.

I can't imagine being fully happy without you in my life. You are strong, loving, and fearless. I want you to know that no matter what happens in life, we will always be together. I want to hold onto the moments we have shared together and hold onto them for the rest of time. You are not just my mom, but you are my best friend and I want you to know that I am so appreciative of you. If there ever comes a time when we are not together, just keep me in your heart, and I'll stay there forever. I love you, mom!
