To One of the Most Beautiful Women in my Life

Today is my mother's birthday and I could not be more grateful then having her in my life.  This picture is from last summer when we went to the Jersey Shore as a family and this particular evening, we all went down to the beach to see the flag ceremony.  I love it because the picture was taken without either one of use knowing the camera was on us.


My mother has been so helpful throughout my entire life, but especially these past six months.  I have not always been nice to her, in fact there were times I was a straight up bitch, and yet she would still come and give me a hug, or rub my back in support.  I don't think I would have been able to survive without her, and I'm eternally grateful to have her in my life.

So to my mom---who I know reads this.  Thank you so much for all the support you have shown me throughout the years.  Thank you for being my rock these past few months, not only for me but also for the rest of the family.  For never once breaking down in front of me no matter how scared you may have been.  Thank you for bringing me breakfast when I couldn't walk, and just laying down next to me and hugging me when I broke down in tears.  Thank you for sharing your love for the beach with me and showing me there is something magical that happens during the summer.  Thank you so much for just being there and loving me no matter what I do.  I don't know what I would do without your daily support in my life.
