I would not trade my mom for anything. While she lives in another state we are best friends. I can count on her love and suggestions even now that I am a mom and grandmother myself. Now that I am in the shoes of such, I understand more of why she did what she did. It was out of an abundance of love.
I didn't always understand nor appreciate her. Today I wish I could take back the hard and hurtful times I placed upon her. Mom is irreplaceable and there is a special love between a mother and daughter.
Following is a thank you letter for my mom.
Dear Mom,
I wanted to write you to say that I had a wonderful time when you visited this weekend. Thank you for your love and all you do.
I know that we don't get to chose who are parents will be but, I know that God knows what he is doing. I was blessed with the best mother and couldn't ask for more.
I have not always been the best daughter one could wish for, so for today I will do my best to make my wrongs right. I don't know that I have ever asked for your forgiveness, but I am sure that you already forgave me. Now I am asking to make sure that you heard it from me, "please forgive me for all the wrongs that I have done."
You have always been there for me and made sacrifices that only a mom could do. How could a daughter possibly give back as much as you have given? I know now that there were many times when you did without so that I could have. When I was sick you made sure that I was taken care of.
I am extremely happy that you are moving back to California. There have been many times that I missed you and had wished you were closer.
You are an awesome woman! I hope that one day I too will touch the lives of many as you have done and still do.
I love you and thank you for being my mom.
Love,
Michelle
