My Mom

This doesn’t happen often for me, but right now i really don't know what to say. I have so many different things running though my head and i really don't know where to start. Today is my mom's birthday and what better day to brag about her then on her very own day, personally picked out by her. There is no combination of words to explain my Mom. She has done more and sacrificed more for me then i can ever imagine, and she rarely got a thank you for it. She has bent over backwards for her family, moving away from friends and family to support her husband. My mom would spend hours and hours sitting in the freezing cold and blistering hot, to watch me play sports, coming to every high school football game even when she knew i would never actually get in the game. Planning family trips that she knew we would all love, but what she loved was just a chance to spend time with all of us together.


You know you have a great mom when your friends call her mom as well. I have heard countless times from my friends how awesome my mom is and "Your mom knows more interesting information then anyone I’ve ever met". Very few people get the opportunity to have such an inspirational person in their life, and i know for a fact my mother’s personality has rubbed off on me, and has given me all of the opportunities to be successful in life.
They say that a young boy will look to marry a woman that most resembles his mother, and i feel that is true. Many of the things i love abut my wife are things i love about my mother.


I love you very much Mom, thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
