You were the first to know me;
The first to love me.
You are the only one who’s been there;
Always.
You are my advocate, my friend;
Anchor in strong winds.
You taught me;
Coached me;
Challenged and opposed me.
You are the essence of who I am;
The woman I hope to be.
You are my mom.
I love you.
Thank you for loving me.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
Love, Me.
