Every day, I try my best to be, A mother like the mom you were to me

I feel so incredibly lucky to have the Mother I do. I could not have grown up with a better role model of the Mom that I inspire to be!
Thank you Mom for being by my side every step of the way...

I found this poem and thought it said it perfectly:

A Thousand Thanks

Mother's Day brings to mind
The thousands of things you did for me
that helped make me happier,
stronger and wiser,
because I had you as a role model.

I'm grateful for all the times
you healed my hurts
and calmed my fears,
so that I could face the world
feeling safe and secure.

I'm thankful for all you showed me
about how to love and give--
lessons that now bring
so many blessings to me
each and every day.

Your sacrifices and unselfishness
did not go unnoticed, Mom.
I admire you, I respect you,
I love you.
And I'm so glad you're my mother!

Happy Mother's Day!
