Dear Mom

Dear Mom,

You gave me breath, and I know you often wanted to choke it out of me.

You gave me rules, and loved me even when I broke them.

You taught me to walk, and let me come home after I ran away.

You dragged me to church, and made sure I knew the real meaning of unconditional love.

You let me yell, scream, and pout my way through my first 18 years, and stood by me.

You were my rock, as I struggled to become an adult and a mom.

You have never failed me, even when I failed you.

The words "thank you" seem so lame in comparison to what you've done for me.

But, thank you.

Happy Mother's Day!

All my love,
Lisa
