Mom

                For times when I needed you to be there for me.

For your patience and understanding when life seemed to be going wrong.

For the kindness you showed throughout your life to others.  

For the confidence you have in me and the loving way you help me find that confidence during hard times.

 For your smile that seemed to always make everything in my world just a little brighter.

For knowing what I felt in my heart, even though I could not say the words.

For placing your family ahead of your self.

For standing by me without words of advice but rather words of encouragement and love.  

For accepting me as the person I am and loving me for it.

For giving up so much of your self to raise me.

For being the Gift that God gave me... I Love You, Mom
