Mãe

Dear mom,
  Thank you for everything you have done for me! I honestly don't know how to express my feelings for you, they are greater than words. Mom, you have always been there for me. Whether it was being by my side and ready to give me a hug when I was sad, or you always able to talk or explain something when I was confused, or there to show me whats right from whats wrong. The unconditional love and care you have for me and my brothers is incredible and I thank you for that. I have never met someone like you mom, someone who is as strongly opinionated but yet so humble with her thoughts, like you are. It amazes me how content you live your life and don't stress over much. I strive to be like you, mom; I try my best to live like my role model, you. You are so special! Yesterday I went to a church and the "mother" of the church was talking about motherly love. She was saying that there is no other love that equals a love of a mother. Yes, you can love your husband/wife. Yes, you can love your brothers/sisters. But the love from your mother is eternal. Your mothers love is the strongest and longest love that you know of. I got the chills when she was speaking, because it brought to my attention the strength of a mother's love to her children. I know I have been far away this year but the love never stops growing, as a matter of fact, I think it is even stronger. I know I am growing up, but know that I will always be there by your side, and that I will never change from the little stubborn little girl I used to be.
"Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire."
Francois de la Rouchefoucauld

"A part of you has grown in me.
And so you see, it's you and me
Together forever and never apart,

Maybe in distance, but never in heart."

Mom, you have raised me to be the person I am today. You showed me how to be fearless and to just go, just go with my life and not worry. I think it is so special the way you handle things. You rarely scold when I make a mistake, but the trust you have for me, makes me not want to do wrong. You are honestly the most beautiful person I know, mom! I wish you could understand the love I have for you. I will see you soon, Happy mothers day, mom!

My beautiful mom
