Today, on your birthday, I am reminded of how lucky I am to have you in my life. At the ripe old age of 29 (you're welcome) you've done so much for so many people. I could spend all day listing the people whose lives you've changed for the better and how, but I figure I'll just give you an insight on how you've affected mine.
First of all, you gave me life. I've always wondered how you became such an amazing mother at such a young age. The older I get, the more grateful I am that you were so young when you had me. This means, I get to keep you with me a lot longer! You always told me that I would never know how much you loved me until I had a child. You couldn't have been more right. So, thank you, Mom, for loving me so much. Thank you for always listening, for putting up with my teenaged years, for teaching me right from wrong, for showing me how to love unconditionally, for giving me a little brother, for teaching me good work ethic, for being protective, and at times overprotective, for staying up with me all night when I was sick, for giving me curfews and rules, for never missing a basketball game, for letting me make mistakes and helping me learn from them, for picking me up when I couldn't pick myself up, for being with me when my kids were born, for letting me see you bond with them and continue to love them more than I could have ever dreamed that you would, for laughing with me and crying with me, and for being my best friend. God could not have given me a better mother, and I thank Him every day for having you in my life. I love YOU more than you will ever know and I appreciate you.
Love,
Nicole

To my beautiful baby girl,
ReplyDeleteEven if I could come close to writing as you do, I would still never be able to convey the depth of love and pride I have for you. Thank you for the best birthday present ever!
I love you beyond measure,
Mom
