Description
Dedicated to my mother. "Mom, I love you. I never realized how much you did for me, or how much you gave up to take care of me. You would give up your girl's day just to deal with my pathetic situation, I thought was so important at the time. I didn't realize how much stress I infringed on you, whenever I disobeyed your rules, testing your limits, and never realizing all of them were created for the flourishing of my growth. I feel grown up, but I'm forever your baby. Speaking of babies, when I gave you and dad such a hard time at night, crying. You would be patient and tell everyone it was because I was scared, hungry, or wanted to know you were there. You would stay up for hours on end just to walk me to sleep. I look back on everything now and put myself in your shoes. I don't think I would have the same patience as you. Your determination, your selfless love, your persistence was something I took for granted. I wish I could be like you. You're always so optimistic and encouraging. It would be a lie to say you aren't my role model. All I want to see is a smile on your face. True peace and happiness in your complexion. To hear your sweet voice guide me, for the rest of my life. You've shown me that there is beauty and opportunity to become a better person through the trials of tough times. You gave up your day and night by thinking of my future, only wanting the best for your child. You gave up some of your own dreams to pave the way for mine. When I see you again, I want to be able to look into your eyes, smile, and tell you what an amazing child you brought up. Mom, I love you."
