A Letter to the Most Influential Woman in my Life

Dear Mommy,

Words cannot describe how amazing you are. You are one of the most hardworking, caring, selfless, beautiful, smart, and funny person I know. You are always there for me when I need it, and I am forever grateful for it. Our conversations can be serious, filled with advice, or for me to be a smart ass with you, I know I can count on you for all of it.

I appreciate all the times that you have been there for me when it came to dealing with me as well as the CP. You were my cheerleader when I put my mind to something and it was going to be a little bit more difficult for me to accomplish, but you told me to pursue it anyways. You were there by my side through the surgeries and doctor’s appointments, putting your foot down with me or the doctor’s if need be. You have also been there for me if I was down on myself and beating myself up when I felt insecure.

I know life has had it’s struggles and you deal with a lot for yourself, but I just want to say that I am super proud of you for the person that you have become and are becoming. This year you found a passion of yours, one that everyone could see for years. You get to work with dogs every week. Honestly, I am surprised as all hell that you haven’t come home with every single dog yet.

Earlier, Kimmy said that you were a rock star and a legend, and I could not agree any more! Keep kicking ass, and you will become even stronger while doing that.
