THE best.

Now now, I know you think you have the best. But I can tell you... you don't. 

I love her more than expressible in such a small note.  

She has always been there for me, my best friend. 

She's always ready to talk and even more ready to listen.  

Even when I'm the natural idiot she loves me.  

She's put up with all kinds of crap I've given her, but shows love in return.

She shows appreciation. 

She knows exactly what to say. 

I know this all sounds like an exaggeration, but that's exactly why she's THE BEST--she's MY mom.  There's no way I could ever thank her for what she's given me. I truly hope to someday be the kind of mother to my children she's been to me.  We've had our trials, (living 2 hours away isn't exactly my favorite) but we work through them. I will forever be blessed to have her as my mom.  

Happy Birthday Mom.
