Dear Mom,

I will never be able to properly express how thankful I am for you.

I am so grateful that with technology these days, I can click a button and talk to you from any distance. I know that you are a busy person, so thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for loving me when I call you 10 times a day and not being mad if a week goes by and I forget. I know that I don't say it enough, but you are so, so appreciated. I would not have gotten through college (so far) without your unconditional support.

Thank you for being there in the middle of the night when I am having a meltdown.

I know that no matter what time it is, if I need you, you will pick up my call. Thank you for listening to my boy problems and reminding me of my worth. Even when you are tired of hearing me talk about the same drama over and over again, thanks for letting me cry to you and rant to you anyway. And thank you for listening to me stress about school and not pressuring me to figure out my future, no matter how many times I change my major.

Thank you for helping me through all the challenges I have faced during college.

Thank you for reading over the various papers and presentations I've had to do over the past few years. Thank you for diagnosing my illnesses over the phone when I refuse to go to the doctor and telling me what medicine to take. And thank you for answering questions that I can easily Google like how to do laundry or how long chicken stays good in the refrigerator.

And last but not least, thank you for always remembering.

With three kids and a crazy schedule to balance, thank you for never forgetting the things that are important to me. Thank you for being the only Valentine I can count on and for making me feel loved on every birthday. I appreciate every cookie cake and balloon you send me. Your effort doesn't go unnoticed.

Thank you for being the best, mom. I love you so much.

XOXO,

Your Daughter
