Happy Mother's Day!

On my first official Mother's Day, I just want to thank the lovely lady who made it all possible.

When I was little,
and you tried teaching me something,
and I complained,
and you said, "You'll thank me later,"
you were so right.

Thank you Mom! Thank you for raising me. I am only beginning to get an idea of how much work that must have been. Thank you for teaching me to sew. I'm sorry for being so darn stubborn, and I'm glad some of it sunk in. Thank you for teaching me how to cook, and clean, and do laundry. I still kind of hate doing all those things, but I'm so glad you taught me how to do them. Thank you for teaching me to try new things, and for doing crazy new things with me. For being my golf buddy, my Costa Rica buddy and my gym buddy. Thank you for making me a better person, a harder-working person, a smarter person, and a stronger person. Thank you for helping me survive being a mom. Because it truly is the hardest thing I've ever done, and I can't imagine how I'd get through it without you. Love you!
