Dear Mom,
Happy day of birth to you! I wish I could be there with you on this magical of all magical days but getting an education is important. So here I am, when I should be studying, writing you a letter tell you how why I'm so thankful that I get be called your daughter.
1. You're my favorite cheerleader.
I have never had someone that was so excited to hear when I got a 94 on my first college paper than you. During my cross country meets, I would always run past and always hear your voice. Or when I was playing tennis, you were always the one to stay all day with me and cancel your Saturday plans to be there for me. If our family was a high school, you would be the head cheerleader because of your constant encouragement and pep. Even if we were losing in the football game, you're cheers would be loud and proud because you love our high school more than a silly game.
2. You're my favorite role model.
You are always the one to give me advice even when I don't want to hear it. You're the one to give it to me straight when I'm in the wrong. I've seen you make your own business to raising three children and sending them off to college. When I see that, I want to follow in your footsteps and become the woman that you have become.
3. You're my favorite therapist.
My favorite memory is when my first boyfriend broke up with me and I spent 3 days straight at my best friend's house. You told me to come home and I started crying over the phone. I walked in the house and went up to my room only to find that you moved the tv in my room and put on a movie. We put on out pjs and laid down in my bed to watch the movie trying to get me to forget about how upset I was. That and the time I first got to college and I got so upset that you packed up your things and drove 4 hours down just to see me and to talk to me.
4. You know me more than anyone else.
There have been times when I was faced with a decision and I didn't know where to go. You helped me make that decision and I ended up being happier than ever. Thanks to you, I am where I am and I happy with that.
5. I'm just happy doing life with you:)
I love making you laugh. When you laugh I immediately get a smile on my face and I become a happier person. I like our road trips and I like just sitting on the couch talking to you. I'm just glad to do life with you.
Much Love Always. -Addison.
