Happy Mother Day Mom! From the moment I was born, you’ve been my constant source of love, support & guidance. Your love, kindness and devotion inspire me every single day. At 23, I’m beginning to understand just how much you have given to our family. You’ve been my biggest cheerleader and role model. Thank you Mom for your unconditional love, and your unwavering belief in me. I am blessed to call you my mother.

As I’ve grown older I’ve come to appreciate the sacrifices you’ve made and support you’ve always provided. I know I haven’t always made the best choices, and there were times when I’ve let you down. But through it all your love and support have always been there. You have been not just a mother, but a friend and a role model. Your unconditional love has been a beacon of light in my life, and I am blessed to have you by my side. You’ve been my rock through the ups and downs, and I wouldn’t be the person I’m today without you. I love you very much, and I am proud to call you Mom!

To the woman who taught me to love myself as well as all human beings. When God made my mother, he made her with the soul of a teacher and the patience of a saint. God bless you mom!!!!
