Dear Mom,

Where do I even begin to tell you how much I cherish not only your guidance as a mother, but our friendship. I can't thank you enough for all that you've done and continue to do for me everyday, here is why you'll always be my best friend.

Thank you for first off giving birth to me (not to mention dealing with me on a day to day basis). It must not have been too fun carrying my annoying ass for 9 months but you did it and I couldn't be more grateful for you giving me life.

Thanks for always being my number one fan. Every dance recital, every musical, every induction ceremony, every athletic game, you were there. Even though, I'm sure you didn't always want to be, you still continued to cheer for me from the sidelines and tell me how great I did even if I was god awful. (Oh yeah and for giving me flowers every single show).

Thanks for spoiling me every time we go on shopping trips. There's no one I'd rather go shopping with and get to spend quality time venting about anything and everything. I cherish these moments more than you'll ever know.

Thanks for being the exact same clothes and shoe size as me (this one is kind of out of your control) and thanks for being trendy, this way I can steal anything I want from you and vice-versa. I'd like to think we both have pretty good taste...

Thanks for lending an ear anytime I go off on a tangent about every little thing pissing me off. You don't always say something, but sometimes that's all I need, someone to listen, and you never fail to do so and then give me great advice afterward.

Thanks for never pushing me to do something I wasn't comfortable doing and pushing me to do things that maybe I didn't even know I could do too. You've always been my biggest supporter and have molded me into a great woman whose not afraid to try new things.

Thanks for being the best cook in the world (and for making me hate everyone else's cooking). I can't think of a better cook than you.

Thanks for always taking care of me even if I'm far away and call you complaining about some illness that I think I have and then calming me down from believing I have a rare "Nile Crocodile disease."

Thanks for showing me love not only with me and my siblings, but with Dad too. You've been an amazing example of the wife I hope to be someday.

Lastly, thank you for being you. You've given me unconditional love, and there's no one else I'd rather have for a Mom. Everyday brings a new adventure and I'm so glad that you're always along for the ride. Thank you for helping me and loving me even when I'm a bitch and extremely difficult at times, and never giving up on me.

I love you more than you will ever know.

Sincerely,
Your daughter
