Dear Mama...

Dear Mama,

I truly don't know where to begin this letter, I feel as though no matter what words I write...they'll never be enough to express to you how much I appreciate, love, and admire you. But, I guess I can start at the beginning. Mommy, thank you for bringing me into the world. I'm so grateful that you chose to selflessly carry me in your womb and birth me into this crazy, weird place we call earth (it's still a strange place to me 23 years later lol). Mommy Lady, thanks for all the sacrifices you make to ensure Antonio and I have all of the things our hearts desire. Although you've told me thousands of times not to let our wants hurt us lol, I truly can't remember a time when you didn't provide us with something we needed or wanted. Back in 2005, when we left D.C I couldn't understand for the life of me why you'd relocate us to this little ol' country town in Virginia. But now that I'm older I appreciate your choice, our lives were transformed in many positive ways since moving here. Truthfully, I don't think I would've accomplished as much as I have if it weren't for you relocating us here when you did. Mom, thanks for always being there for a good laugh, words of encouragement, life & boy advice(I'll get it together one of these days), and for being listening ear on those days I just need to vent. I can't ever repay you for all of the great things you give to me day in and out. I just pray that God allows me to be half as great of a woman, sister, friend, and mother as you are to me and the many people who's lives you've touched.
Happy Mother's Day Pretty Lady! I love you to the moon and back.
Ashley
