A Letter to Mother

Dear Mom,

Now I realized how difficult being a mother is. Now I wish I would have helped you more with the chores around our home. I wish I would have known the exhaustion that a mother feels at the end of each day. You never stopped loving me and you never ever left me even though at times you probably felt like it.

I always had a new pair of shoes at the beginning of each school year, and you would wear the same pair of shoes for more years. You always put me first and yourself second. There are so many things you did without a second thought. You took care of me when I was sick, even though you were sick, too. You went nights without sleep from worrying. You made sure that every morning I was up and off to school. There are so many more things that I could list, but I would never be able to remember them all.

I took up most of your time, leaving you with no time for yourself. You put aside your hobbies, and you barely took the time out to have a coffee with your friends.

What a sacrifice you made to raise me. Thank you, Mom, so much, for every second of the day that you cared and guided me to be who I am today.

Now I understand the exhaustion, the worries, sacrifices and I understand something else that I never did before, the love that a mother has for her children is the most powerful, protective, caring, emotional, sacrificing love that will ever exist on this earth.

I have to say it again, Mom. Thank you with all my heart, and I want to tell you that I love you so very, very much and that I am so proud to tell people that you are my mother.

I hope that I can do a great job just like you are and have been to me.

Love,

your daughter
