"You are my sunshine," she says.
Thank you for being my hero. Don't get me wrong, this letter will probably be pretty cheesy, but what's new.
Words cannot and will not ever be able to describe how much I love and appreciate you. You are my best friend, my role model, and my mother all in one. I only hope to be what you are to me to my daughter one day. It's rare for a teenager and her mom to share such a close relationship, but honestly, if it were any other way life would just be boring.
I don't know what I would do without you. We fight, but that's only normal. I don't say it enough but thank you for being such a great role model. One day i will be able to appreciate you yelling at me to clean the house and one day i might even appreciate when you tell me I can't do certain things. Maybe. I know you have your best interest at heart and I know you're only worried and want the best for me, which is why I try not to roll my eyes or make it hard on you.
Thank you for making me the person I am today. Without you, I would not be... me. You've guided me into a great life with only love around me and for that I am forever thankful. I realize that watching you be who you are has shaped me and the way I make my decisions. I know it hasn't been easy for you, but know that it has payed off. I've made silly decisions in the past that I know have disappointed you but it's only made me a better person and has tought me how much my actions will effect me and the people around me.
I make it hard sometimes, but trust me, I'm very thankful that you've never given up on me. I love you so much, mom. There's only many more memories, good and bad, to come but never forget how much you mean to me. I love you much more than words could ever explain. Now YOU are MY sunshine.
