How does one thank their mother for all they've done? Becoming a mother really clarifies the magnitude of appreciation required, and yet the words never seem to add up to the amount of love and gratitude dwelling in your heart. Knowing that words alone wouldn't cut it, that no lanyard (no matter how fancy) would ever be enough, I thought a public card (you know, the kind you can share on "the facebook") would be better than nothing. (Don't worry mom, I bought you something too.)
Dear Mom,
You are my best friend, and let's face it, no one else could put up with us. With each passing year, I become more like you, and you know what? There really are worse things. We don't always agree, but we do always communicate. (I painted you a picture of a butterfly, I'll call you in five minutes.) Speaking of calls, what would we do without our morning chats? They started when I couldn't get out of bed with morning sickness, and you called to help get my mind off it. Then they became crucial to report on the little one's sleeping habits, or lack thereof. Now we vent, recap TV, sip coffee, and it just wouldn't be morning without it. We see each other through thick, thin, and every point in between, we always have. Thank you so much for your unending support. You are more than my mother; you are my sounding board, my focus group, and my biggest fan (not to mention hairdresser and personal shopper). Thank you for taking such good care of me, I realize it wasn't always easy. Thank you for taking such good care of Jude, I know that isn't always easy. You know you have an awesome mom when your child clearly prefers her to you. You gave me life, I gave you a blog post (and a grandchild). I love you. I love you so much words don't come close. I'm tearing up, so I'm pretty sure you're sobbing by now. It's always good to end a card on a tear. Happy Mother's Day.
XOXO,
Your Little Galia
