Giving me the chance to be alive, never letting me believe there wasn't anything I couldn't do, being my first and at times my only supporter, laughing at my jokes, letting me play with your make-up, letting me borrow (and steal) your jewelry and accessories, teaching me right from wrong, always giving me the best advice, endless hugs, letting me follow my dreams - even if it meant traveling near and far, missing me when I'm away, forgiving me when I forget to call, your brutal honesty, taking me seriously, introducing me to paints and colored pencils, delicious home cooked meals, letting me make my own mistakes - even if it meant utter embarrassment on my end, taking care of me when I'm sick, doubling as a therapist when needed, being open-minded, being my friend, but most importantly, thank you Mom, for being you and raising me the way you did. I am now the mother I am because of you, and wish you, as well as all the other mothers out there the happiest of Mother's Days!
