I recently reached a milestone that made me a bit reflective and thankful to one of the people responsible for helping me get there.
Thank You...
For growing up with me
For being my friend
For being there when I needed your help
For being there when I needed your words of advice
For being there when I needed you to listen
For being there when I needed you to break my fall
For being there when I needed you for nothing at all
For making me laugh
For making me cry
For putting up with my attitudes, moods and my faults
For accepting my decisions, opinions and choice
For disagreeing but not raising your voice
For giving me courage, wisdom and grace
For remembering me in your hearts and your prayers
For being so thoughtful over all these years
For accepting my criticism, so harsh and unkind
For accepting my apologizes, not often on time
For sharing my joy
For sharing my pain
For offering your shoulder in my times of sorrow
For all the things you give me
For all the things I borrow
For correcting me when I am wrong
For accepting when I am right
For listening to me
For not listening to me
For inspiring me
For guiding me
For opening my eyes
For closing your own
For keeping me company
For leaving me in peace
For letting me grow
For letting me grow, at my own pace
For being kind and unselfish
For letting me shine
For taking the time
For sharing my life
For loving me without question
For making me a part of your life
Most of all thank you for being my mom!
