To the one who gave me half birthday presents like that’s a real thing…

To the one who didn’t get sick when I threw up on her, even at the age of 22…

To the one who knows every remedy for every sickness, and doesn’t argue when I think I have every sickness web MD lists as a possibility…

To the one who let me bring home a stray cat and keep it for years and years…

To the one who always bought Dominos pizza even though she liked Papa Johns because I hated it…

To the one who taught me it was acceptable to eat ice cream for dinner…

To the one who went to every single volleyball game I ever played…

To the one who hated every single boyfriend I ever had before Robert…

To the one who rinsed my mouth out with liquid soap because I had a smart mouth…

To the one who made me play outside and use my imagination…

To the one who told me to pursue a degree in journalism…

To the one who watched every episode of Gilmore Girls with me and sang the theme song every time…

To the one who stayed up talking to me the night before my wedding while my bridal party was out partying….

To the one who taught me what a mother should be like, I love you. Thank you for being the best mom ever!
