How can words express gratitude for the single person who has had the most influence in my life? You have seen me through to adulthood- to my own independence, and yet I still want you in my life. You have given me so much, but the thing that stands out the most is your patience and love.
Always you were patient with me.
Always you loved me!
Always you were there, the constant presence of someone that is always patient and kind, someone that loves you as only a mother can has turned me into the person I am. So when you tell me you are proud to be my mother, don't forget your own role in accomplishing who I am and have become.
You taught me to pray, because I saw you praying.
You taught me to love because I saw and felt your love.
You taught me to weather life's storms no matter your own personal cost, because I saw you do the same.
You taught me to have faith, because I saw your faith.
You taught me to be smart about the decisions I make, because that's what I saw you do.
You taught me that life should be fun and to find the good in it, because you always have.
Thank you for all these things, and so much more!!
Happy Mother's Day!
I love you!
