A thank you letter to my mentor.

I am writing this letter to thank for everything you have taught me in my life. Not to many can say they look up to their mother, but im glad I can. because of life lessons and words of wisdom,  I have became the person I am today. I just want you to know how special you are not to only me, but also to Jakai. Even though I tell you often I appreciate every single thing you do.

You made me realize many things in my life growing up. But the most important thing is realizing that I am stronger than I can ever imagine. Growing up I watched you go through several things that could make a person break. But the one thing you always did was pick up and continue where you left. You didn't ever quit or give up when things got hard. I've always admired your strength, and it has become a big part of the reason I am the person I am today. Watching how much positive energy time in effort you put in raising me and my brother has taught me to be the mother I am today. I will always love you for that.

 

Many times when I am doing things with my son I realize that I've become the mother to him, that you are with me. I put him first as you did with us and make sure I work to give him what he wants and needs. Often I watch you play with him and see the love you have for him and it brings me back so many sweet childhood memories. I also realize I have your strength. I've faced many situations since becoming a mom, some easy some hard. But I always remember you not letting anything get in your way, so I've become the same way. Not only do I look up to you, but I consider you my best friend. You've made me who I am today the good the bad the happy the sad, these are all the moments I experienced because of you and I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you mom !

 

My mother

Thank you,

For wiping away tears when my heart was broken,

to holding my secrets that were swore to be unspoken.

For holding my hands when times would get rough,

and not leaving my side when times got tough.

For keeping a smile on your grandsons face,

and making sure he knows that with you hes safe.

For letting me know I can do anything I set my mind to,

and letting me know when things are hard ill make it through.

For answering the phone even though we talk about nothing,

to always showing up when you promised you was coming.

For keeping my spirits up whenever I feel down,

to telling your stupid jokes to wash away my frown

Thank you for making me feel like no other,

I just simply want to thank you for being my mother .
