Letter to my mother ♥

Where do I even start with you, ma? You've been with me through everything. Through all the fights that I've had with friends and boyfriends and struggles and everything. I know that at times we butt heads but that's just because I came out to you! haha. You have shown me how to value myself and respect myself and if it wasn't for you I would be completely lost. You've given me advice and scolded me when I've done wrong which has made me into the young woman that I am today. When I'm a mother I hope I can be at least half the mother that you are, because you're absolutely incredible. You laugh at me when I'm corny and tell me when I'm wrong and that's exactly what I need. At times I may not like it, and I may give you attitude but in the end I appreciate everything you do. I appreciate you more that I could even explain. I don't tell you enough how wonderful you are and how beautiful you are inside and out. You've been my shoulder to lean on my entire life, and I know that as I get older, we will only become closer. The thought of not seeing you everyday drives me crazy, but I know it's a part of me growing up and a part of me becoming independent, like you've raised me to be. You and papi are the best parents that I could ever ask for and I can't imagine how I'd be if it wasn't for your influence on my life. Your heart for helping others has made me want to go into the field of Social Work. You have such a big heart for children and I can see why God made you the way you are. You make everyone feel completely comfortable and when situations are tough you let everyone know that things will be okay. Obviously this isn't all that I have to say to you, but if I keep writing, I'll take up pages. So, thank you, ma. Thank you for being my best friend, my mentor, my role model, my shoulder to lean on, my diary and most importantly the best mother any girl could ask for. You are my rock. I love you.
