Dear Mom,
You are my hero/ best friend/ confidante/ mom. You dedicated your
life to raising three daughters and I am lucky enough to be one of those
daughters. You spent every day caring for us, making our lunches, giving
us sarcastic little comments on life, maybe telling us things
we didn't want to hear but were necessary,
letting my cry when it was needed and even if it wasn't needed and
knowing exactly what had to be done to make everything better.
Your relationship with dad is what I hope for in my future marriage.
It's so apparent how much you two still love each other and for that, I thank
you. You have given me something to look forward to and not something to
despise like so many of my friends. You have been married 20+ years
and still make each other crack up.
I'm getting teary as I write this because all my life I have been told,
"You look JUST like your mom" and for so long I used to shrug that off
because I wanted to be my own person, but now I take that as the
ultimate compliment. If I can ever be a person/mother/daughter
like you, then I will die a very happy person.
You are a constant light to everyone around you, a dedicated hard
worker, SO loving and giving of yourself, and I feel that so much
of the time that is overlooked. So on your birthday, I hope you
realize how much everything you do IS appreciated and thought
about every day of my life as I continue to grow.
Being a state away from you is INCREDIBLY tough. But I think
our relationship can only grow from here
(even though it is a very strong relationship
now!) and I hope you know how much you inspire me every day.
With all my love. To the moon... and back.
Your daughter,
Allie

In order to be a good mom it takes an amazing daughter and you have been that and more. You are often the voice of reason in my life and you have the ability to temper my somewhat "impetuous" and "quick to anger" personality with your kind and gentle words which I value greatly.
As I watch you grow into this beautiful mature woman, I couldn't be prouder of the young adult you have become. Your compassion, joie de vivre (joy of life) and witty personality are a joy to those around you.
I can only take credit for loving you in the best way I know how but God is truly responsible for giving you the amazing gifts you have and you are responsible for honoring him by using them to do good.
I love you my Allie bear!!!
