In Honor of Mother's Day {a few days late}

I've tried writing out how I feel about my mom, but I've decided there aren't enough words to describe how incredibly amazing she is and exactly how grateful I am for her. But, since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll just go that route. 

moth·er

noun

"a woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth"

"bring up {a child} with care and affection"

"look after kindly and protectively, sometimes excessively so"

This is my mom, Bobbi. She is the most amazing woman I know. 

She is fierce, selfless, and all around incredible. 

She's been there for me through everything. 

Thick, thin & everything in between. 

Thanks Mom, for teaching me the importance of hard work and persistence.

If it weren't for my mom, I probably wouldn't have went for & completed my Masters degree. 

Not to mention I probably would have ended up either in jail or in a mental hospital for having a complete mental breakdown. 

Thanks Mom, for teaching me to stand up for what I believe in, in a calm & effective way.

Thank you for stepping up and wearing a million hats at once to be the most amazing woman I've had the privilege of knowing. You really are my favorite, mom ;)

Thank you for being there for me through everything. Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to do my best. And most importantly, thank you for never giving up on me. I know it hasn't been the easiest job to be my mom, what with my totaling of two cars & being arrested and all.

Thank you for absolutely everything, mom. 

I can say, without a doubt, that I wouldn't be the woman I am if it weren't for you. 

Thank you!

Mom, 

Thank you for being you.

Abraham Lincoln said it best, 
"All that I am or hope to be, I owe my mother."

Truer words have never been spoken. 

I love you Mom!
