I know I haven't been the prodigy child you had hoped for, but I tried my best. I wasn't the star athlete but I was your star. I wasn't Valedictorian of my class, but I was the smartest kid you knew. I didn't smile at everyone, but when you told me to smile you got the biggest I could give-even if it was forced. You gave me a roof over my head, even though I probably made you very mad. You put food on my plate each night, even if sometimes it was ramen or hot dogs ;) You taught me patience, when dealing with me. You taught me integrity. Mom lets face it, you taught me a whole lot of things. You never gave up and made sure that I didn't either. When times were rough and tough, you loved me through it all. There were times when we screamed and yelled at each other, but they were always made up by an "I love you." There will be no way I could ever pay you back for the dumb things you bought me, when I thought they were a necessity-and you had nothing. You went to nearly every game I had, even when I sat the bench. You cheered the loudest when I made that shot, or hit that homer. Mom, I didn't have many friends growing up but you are my best friend. I wish now more than ever that I could just pack you up and take you with me and move you and dad in with me. I need your good night wishes, your caring heart when I am sick, your help on homework that I want to give up on, or to just sit down and talk to you about our lives. I miss it so much and wish that I could, but you have taught me so much better. To never give up, to get it done and keep going. You are only a phone call or text away. And as much as you probably hate it I will continue to let you know that I love you and appreciate everything you do for me.
Mother Dearest :)
I Love You!
