I want you to know that I’m really thankful to have you as my mom. I could never have asked for a better mother in this world, and I doubt that it’s possible to find a better mother than you. You accepted me at my lowest, and you rejoiced with me throughout my successes. I learned to appreciate everything you ever did for our family. But because of your unconditional love, I have learned to be a better person.
I said and did things that would have driven anyone else out of my life. Mom, I know I was never the perfect daughter. You always had a way of making me smile and laugh even after I’ve been crying my eyes out. You always had your arms outstretched whenever I would come running to you for comfort. That doesn’t mean you never got angry, but you always tried to understand what was going on in my head. When I was little, you were always patient with me. Ever since I was a little girl, I had known that the way you raised me would change me for the better. Thank you for being the best mom you could be. Thank you for always loving me unconditionally. Thank you for being there for me, in happiness and in pain. Thank you for holding my hand through the most difficult times in my life. But here I am, hoping I can make up for all the opportunities I missed. I’m sorry that I never got to say thank you enough. I’m sorry for being annoying, rude, or mean to you. I’m sorry for all the crap I put you through. I’m sorry for being a difficult daughter. I guess what I want to say is that I’m really grateful for all the sacrifices you have made for us. I miss coming home to a clean home and lounging about, not knowing how much effort you put into keeping our home tidy. I miss your home-cooked meals whenever I prepare a meal that’s not even close to the way you cook. Sometimes I miss being the pampered little girl that I was when I was with you. You made being a mom and a wife seem like the most natural thing in the world. Sometimes I think of how you were able to do it all so well. There are things I would need to do for the family that will get in the way of the time I usually spend on myself. It comes with responsibilities and sacrifice. Now that I’m married, I realized that it’s not all joy and happiness. I never really thought of the time I would spend after the wedding. I’ve been excited for the day of my wedding ever since my childhood days. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things than my report card on your bedside table. Mom, I’m 15 years old now, and I can take care of myself. Bob already owns a trailer in the woods with a bunch of firewood that will last us all winter.
In reality, I’m pregnant and you’re about to be grandparents. But that’s not the only reason I’ve decided to elope with the man I love. I think I have found true love with Bob, especially when I learned to see through all his piercings, tattoos, crippling alcoholism, and even more crippling debt. I have to confess that I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid making a scene with you and dad. It’s with great sorrow that I’m writing to you.
I don’t know what I would do in life if it weren’t for you.ĭear Mom. Thank you for always being there for me, mom. And the dearest mom in all the world is the one I call my own. A mother is all these things and more – the greatest treasure I’ve ever known. A mother is one whose special love inspires you every single day, who fills your heart with joy in her kind and thoughtful way. A mother is one who understands the things you say and do, who overlooks your faults and sees the best in you. And like home, you are where my heart will always be.ĭear Mom. Like the ocean, your calm presence is always there. Like a sturdy pair of legs, you allow me to stand on my own two feet. Like a library, you share your knowledge with me. Like a superhero, you always save the day. Like a nurse, you take care of what hurts. So show your mom how much you love her today by sending her one of these heartfelt letters!ĭear Mom. It’s a small gesture that will make a huge impact. We know it’s not Mother’s Day or your mom’s birthday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t write a loving letter to your mother.
