Not because today is Mother's Day.
Because a Mom as great as mine deserves to be appreciated every day.
Because my Mom is my best friend.
Because my Mom is always there for me whether I need a shoulder to cry on, advise on love and life, to share my successes and dreams or a partner in crime for my newest adventure.
Because there are a lot of people in this world that don't get along with their moms or know their moms or those that have lost a mom.
Because my Mom has taught me about all the good things in life: unconditional love, perseverance, determination, honesty and kindness.
Because my Mom has instilled in me the very basic appreciation for life every day and that among the ugly things in this world that we have no control there are a million beautiful things that can be seen and appreciated each and every day.
Because my Mom knows that being angry and begrudging is no way to live a life.
Because we both love the earth and there is nothing more therapeutic than getting your hands in the dirt.
Because we both love Peonies!
Because I don't think I could ever really tell my Mom how much I love her.
Because I cannot ever imagine not talking to my Mom every day.
Because one day I hope to be half the mom she has been to me.
Because when I grow up I want to be just like my Mom. :)
I love you sweetie, even more than Peonies.
ReplyDeleteI think I do know how much you love me.
