Dear Mom

I got on facebook today to write my mom a Happy Mother's Day greetings, but as I started writing I realized that it was more of a blog post then a "wall post".  I wanted to do something to publicly honor the woman who taught me everything about life.  So here is my message to my mom, I hope she will read it and know just how special she is.  I don't like it when people say "Happy Mother's Day to the best mom out there" cause frankly, how can one gauge that?  My mom is the best mom FOR ME.  I have not been an easy daughter, not by any stretch of the imagination but whether she realizes it or not, she knows just how to reach me.  She is a Godsend, MY Godsend. He knew what He was doing when He made her my mom.

Happy Mother's Day!  Thank you for all you've done for me and continue to do for me everyday!  Thank you for believing in me and supporting me all my life.  You've been my biggest cheerleader and one of closest confidants for as long as I can remember.  I wouldn't be where I am with out you.  You held me when you needed too, cried with me when I needed you, and disciplined me when you had to.  Even though we live far apart now I feel like we're getting closer everyday.  I have not been easy to love by any means, I've been, and still can be quite difficult, but there has never been a doubt in my mind that you love me just the way I am.  (or despite the way I am, I'm not sure which)  I love you more than I could ever express.
