Dear Mom,

When I look at this picture of you holding me,

I know that you love me.

When I hear the advice you give me,

I know that you love me.

When you tell me that I'm a great mom,

I know that you love me.

Do you know how much I love you?

I hope so...

With every passing day/week/year,

I appreciate you more and more.

The sacrifices you made for my happiness may not have

been acknowledged then,

but they are now.

Now that I am a mother too,

I am beginning to understand just how much

love, patience, long suffering,

charity, service and worrying

you have done for me.

Thank you for loving me enough to guide me

and teach me how to be an honest, considerate

and respectable person.

I love you mom,

Happy Mother's Day!
