I have a mom who would bend over backwards for me. She is the complete opposite of my father. Where one can barely hold a job, she has always made sure to wear the pants and provide for her family. I never have to wear her down if I am in need of money. She willingly gives what she has, even when I try and refuse so I can make it on my own. She was there for every game I cheered at, went to every cheerleading competition and wearing our colors proudly. She came up yesterday just because I wanted her near. <br/><br/>
With my wedding coming up, she is thinking about getting a second job just to help pay for things. What parent gives and gives of herself like that?? My mom, that's who. <br/><br/>
I am truly blessed to have my mom in my life. Things haven't always been easy for her and I. She had to do so much on her own. Being a single parent was tough for her, I understand that now. I feel bad for being a demanding kid sometimes. She taught me to be thankful for what I have. Even today, I sometimes forget that, but I am working hard trying to remember that there are worse things in life than a bad grade. At least I have the opportunity to go to school. My mom gave me that chance. <br/><br/>
Mom, if you read this, know that I love you so much!!! You have become my best friend. I love having you to come to when things get hard. Although we've had our bad moments and have highly disliked each other ever once in a while, just know I would never change you for the world! No matter how many times you've told me no and I stormed off, I am thankful you didn't give in. You have taught me if I wanted something that I had to earn it myself. So many moms today just give in and now their children are brats. I am very pleased to tell you I am not one of those kids. :) I hope. <br/><br/>
Thank you mom, for everything. For being you. For being MY mom. Love you!!!!<br/><br/>
Love, <br/>
your daughter
