To the Person Who Has Accepted Me For Me
You are my best friend. You listen to everything I have to say and you give me what you know I need to hear. You have one of the kindest hearts I have ever met and you aren’t afraid to be you. You have been there for me since before I was born, you created me, You are my Mom.

You have been the person I can trust with everything in my life. All of my secrets. This is one of many Thank You’s. Thank you for teaching me how to stand up for myself and always be honest, no matter the consequences. To take risks and stand up for what I believe in.
Thank you for gifting me with all the knowledge you have gained, and for letting me make my mistakes to learn as well. Thank you for giving me such a great opportunity with my school, and knowing that I can accomplish whatever I please. You motivate me to be a strong female leader, because you are such an incredible one. Your love for things has influenced me in a way I can’t even explain.
When I was younger, everyone said we looked so much a like, and I would always say no. But now I understand. Because looking like you, and being like you, is one of the greatest things in the entire world and one of the biggest blessings.

Thanks for letting me steal all of your clothes ( yes, I did steal the cardigan above ). Thank you for going out of your way to do things for me, like bringing me dinner at work, or taking me to my car when the bus stops running. Thank you for teaching me I don’t need everything in the world to be happy and that the little things matter the most.
Thank you for teaching me how to listen to what other say/think and keep myself centered. You have always been my biggest role model and that will never change. Your passion for others and helping has taught me how to love others no matter what. There is so much to thank you for and not enough words to say. I love you most Mom. Forever.
