Dear mother,
No words strung together could express my appreciation for you.
You taught me how to wash my clothes,
How to do the dishes,
How to budget my money,
How to love,
How to study,
How to laugh,
How to enjoy my surrounds,
How to live in the moment.
You taught me why it's okay to cry,
Why it's not okay to give up,
Why it's important to be on time,
Why we need to love family,
Why a clean home is a happy home.
Why reading is better than watching TV.
Why fresh air is always a good idea.
I couldn't have learned this all without you.
