Dear Mom...Thank You
Dear Mom...Thank you. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.
Thank you for having had to grow up entirely too soon. For helping to raise your baby brother and for being the mother to your mom because she didn't know how to. For being "the mother" in that household when you were just a precious little girl. So sweet and innocent but so wise beyond your years. Thank you for your strength, your courage, your honesty. Thank you for being my friend when I have needed someone to lean on. Thank you for all the sacrifices you've made. Thank you for your honesty even when it meant sometimes telling me things I didn't want to hear. Thank you for the hugs, the love and tenderness. Thank you for all of it and for all that is still to come. You are my precious mother and I love you.
Andrea, of all the Mother's Day themed posts I've seen so far this year, this one is the sweetest. You are very fortunate to have such a stellar mom. Your mom is also blessed to have a daughter like you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jacqi for your kind words. I do feel blessed to have this special lady in my life.
DeleteREal Sweet and I know she loves it! Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThanks True. Happy Mother's Day to you as well!
DeleteA heartfelt tribute to your mother. "So sweet and innocent but so wise beyond your years." Your mother sounds like an amazing women, with a character forged by hardship but still able to love you and be your friend. Nothing so precious as a good mother, and you are both mutually blessed to have each other.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, this is such a sweet Mothers' Day tribute to your mom.
