There are some people in the world that influence you throughout your entire life. As I have "experienced" more of the world I feel so blessed that my mom is one of those people. She is patient, loving, a great listener(i'm sure having 6 girls helped with that one!), supportive, and accepting. Honestly, the list could go on forever. Maybe one day I'll get around to writing down the endless list of examples where I have been so proud of my mom and to be her daughter but that will just have to wait for another day.
Just one little example is Mom went to Europe with us! Every time she went up to the top of a building to out outlook or the hike in Cinque Terre I was so proud that despite her fear of heights she enjoyed it and took advantage of the view(away from the edge) and soaked it in. Even more than going up to those scary heights I'm was more filled with pride the times she said no. She showed me that it's important to face your fears, but even more than that she showed me that it's ok to say no. It's ok to have limits and to stand by those decisions.
Mom, I am so thankful for your love and friendship. I can always count on you to listen to my little accomplishments that I'm proud of and to be proud of me as well. I hope you had the happiest of birthdays! I love you!
