Mom

I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. You were never afraid to be my mother — to put your foot down, to teach me right from wrong, to make sure I did my best. You always let me know I had a mom who cared about me, who believed in me, who was there for me no matter what. I think of all the things you gave me: sacrifice, devotion, love and tears. Your heart, your mind, your energy. All these you spent on me, on us, and I am forever grateful Growing up with that kind of love and support made such a difference in my life. I wouldn't be me without you. There is no way I could ever quantify your importance. I love you mom, always.
