A letter to my Mom...I plan on reading it/ a version of it Sunday @church.

You've taught me what it is like to have a mom.
You have CHOSEN to be there for me, when I thought nobody would want to.
You have helped me so much over the last year especially, you have helped me realize the possibilities I have and you have helped me reach my dreams. I never looked forward to Mother's Day, it had always been so hard, but because of you I can truly say that I was excited for Mothers Day. On Wednesday I was smiling and telling everybody how excited I was that mommy was going to be here tonight. I was a little kid smiling and talking so great about my mom. You've become a hero to me, and there is not enough words in existence to explain my feelings towards you fully. I simply do not know what I would do without you, what we all would do without you. You keep Dad and me smiling all the time, joking and laughing and having that feeling of being a regular family. I struggle with a lot and you haven't given up on me. I always thought that I wasn't worth it, but I have you, who doesn't have to be there, but you are, every day, no matter how much I mess up, and that is mind blowing!

I Love you, no matter how sarcastic I am, no matter how much attitude I give, no matter how much it may seem I am tuning you out, no matter what I know you'll be there, but don't forget to hold me up on my end of the bargain! I promise to be there for you, though I could never make up for how much you've been here for me.

I sometimes catch myself at home because I get close to calling you Mom.When I talk to my friends you are known as my mom. I used to struggle with this day, but now that I've got you its absolutely amazing.

I love you with all my heart Laurie and I know that will never change.

<3 Always, Linda
