Mom my world

Dear Mom,

Mummy, I could go on and on but the words are not enough to describe the wonderful person you are. You prepared me so well for life, teaching me and raising me in a way that helped to ensure my success.

You taught me the value of hard work and how to have important business taken care of before stopping to relax. I want you to take a break now and relax and let me show you how much I love you while you enjoy peace, calm and tranquility.

Last but not least I wish for you to feel the wonderful sense of being loved that you have made me feel throughout my entire existence. There has never been a moment in my life, no matter how dark, when I couldn’t think of you and feel the love you have for me buoying me up and carrying me through. Your love has carried me through so much, it’s lit my way through dark times and lifted me over hard times.

Your confidence in me has inspired my own confidence in myself, and my desire to not let you down has transformed into pride of spirit and the ability to move myself on, no matter how difficult things might seem.

I pray for you to have a healthy life so that you can not only live long enough to see me through as much of my life as possible, but so you can live happily enough to get the most out of your time. You have always made sure I was taken care of, nursed me through illnesses and stood by me on bad and good times. I love you and I will always care for you.

I hope that I have made you proud of me, proud of my accomplishments and proud of the person I have become. You are responsible for the best parts of me and I pray I’ve done you justice through my character and behavior.

So thank you, Mummy, for all you have done and continue to do for me. I am who I am because of you, and I am so glad to have had you both as my Mother and my friend.

Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well being ahead of your own to teach the hard lessons to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is…and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong...
