Happy Mother's Day, Mama

Mother's Day was yesterday, and I want to take a minute to tell the world how much I love my mother.
Mom, I love you because you are always there for me and you give great advice. I love calling you in the middle of the day just to chat.
I love you because you have always pushed me and encouraged me to be my very best self. I know I can achieve anything I want to because you believe in me.
I love you because you suffered with me through those awkward teenage years where I had acne, a temper, and occasional emotional breakdowns.
I love you because you have faith when I don't. I'll call you and say, "I lost my wallet and I need you to pray that I'll find it, because I'm too mad to do it." Your faith is always enough. You pray, I find it, and my testimony increases.
I love you because you look for the good in everyone. I have never heard you saying anything negative about anyone. Gossip stops with you.
I love you because you are the most selfless person I know. You are always thinking about others before yourself.
I will consider myself very lucky if I can become half the person you are. You are the best friend I could ask for and I'm so glad you are mine. I wish everyone had a mother like you. Happy Mother's Day.
