Dear Mom,
This blog is for you. I am going to write things on it to you and for you starting now and through college. Things like quotes, songs, special little messages and stuff like that : )
You most certainly are my best friend and you understand me and my craziness better than anyone. You are not only my mom, but you are my best friend, my hero, my teacher, and the only person in the world that I truly trust. Since I was little, I've had a fear of trusting anyone and that is simply because almost everyone special to me has proved that they can't always be trusted or relied on. But you have proved the very opposite to me and you have showed me how beautiful my faith is and you have taught me how to truly live for God. You've been right beside me on every road I've gone down and you've been there encouraging me as I've persude every dream I've had. Your strength and your undying love inspire me beyond words.
So who is my mom anyway?

You might say...
"I'm a saint and a sinner
I'm a lover and a fighter
I'm a true believer, with great desire
I'm a preacher of grace, prophet of love, teacher of truth
I've fallen down so many times
But here I stand in front of you"

And that is true, but you are so much more! You are a woman with a heart unlike anyone in this world. You are the coolest mom and your life story inspires and gives me hope. When I think of you, mom, I see this woman who has given her life to God and to her family, who has stood in the midst of great suffering and found peace and joy in her one true love, Jesus Christ, who has become the very love that she shows.
If you think you know my mom, you don't. She is a billion times more amazing that anyone realizes and God alone sees everything she is and every ounce of love and faith that defines her.

Mom, thank you so much for everything...and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING!! You have been so loving, forgiving, and understanding to me from the day you held me in your arms for the first time!! When I think about leaving for college...the only thing that hurts is not being with you. I don't care how old I am...I will always want and need my mama.
You have never left me when I needed you and you have ALWAYS been here for me 100% and I promise that I will always be here for you now, when I am in college, when I come home, and especially when you are old and gray : )
You can always count and depend on me. I never promise anything that I can't follow through with and I know that I will make for certain that you are always taken care of.
Mama, I love you so so so so so much!!!!
Thanks for being my BFF and for rocking my world!!!
