Dear Mom

Thank you for:

Nurturing me,
Increasing my self awareness and respect
And allowing me to be myself, despite my many shortcomings.
For raising me to be confident and content in how I am, or more importantly how I am not, strictly by example alone.

Your listening ears have been a comfort to me,
Your nonjudgmental words have shown me I matter,
Your helpful hands have aided many a crazy day.
Three postpartum's would not have been the same without you!

The strength you carry is a lesson to me daily.
Your timeless beauty radiates from the wisdom you unknowingly share with me.
After being a mother myself, I realize Thank You's do not give your job justice,
But I believe knowing that you are loved and cherished might be enough.
As your daughter I hope I honor, and continue to honor all your hard earned mothering.

I Love you,
Happy Mothers' Day!
