Dear Mom,
I don't know if I can ever truly express how grateful I am to you. You've always been an incredible example of what a mother should be and how a woman should live.
Thank you, Mom, for loving me when I was difficult. Thank you for supporting me when I ran in five different directions. Thank you for listening to me when I talked your ear off about nothing in particular. Thank you for not throwing me off a bridge when I annoyed you. Thank you for showing me how to make a bed properly. Thank you for teaching me how to cook. Thank you for showing me the importance of being my husband's best friend. Thank you for instilling a love of the gospel into my heart. Thank you for inspiring me to go to college. Thank you for lovingly speaking to me over the phone when I freaked out over my own drama. Thank you for letting me get to know you better by sharing your past with me. Thank you for crying when I moved across town from you. Thank you for wanting to spend time with me. Thank you for always working so hard for our family. Thank you for being such a wonderful mother.
I love you, Mom. I think about you all the time, wishing I could emulate your talents and remember your example. I couldn't have had a better mom than you. Heavenly Father knew I needed you. I love you!
Love,
Shelly

DITTO!!!! Except for the whole college part. I didn't do that. :)
I love you mommy!!! SOOOOOOO Much!
I second this as well. Shelly can use words better than me, so I am glad she typed it. It may have taken me 2 hours to be able to write it so eloquently. I just will change the sentence about moving across town to moving to a different state. I can't wait to live so close to you again, Mom! Yay!! I love you.
