happy mother's day

Mom . . .
i can't thank you enough for being there for me throughout my entire life. thank you for teaching me things that i can use throughout my entire life. thank you for loving me, even when i'm not nice to you. thank you for not being embarrassing. thank you for bringing muffins to my diving meets. thank you for cheering me up when i'm in a bad mood. thank you for giving me hugs that make my day. thank you for listening to my funny (and sometimes boring) stories. thank you for teaching me to be the strong person i am.
also, thank you for the note that you left on my mirror on the day of my big test - thank you for always believing in me.
you are an amazing person, and i appreciate everything you've ever done for me.
i love you more than you understand. i hope you have a great day today!
Love, Pickle :)
