Mom,
I thank you for so, so, so much.

Thank you for enduring my blood-curdling shrieks of infancy

and my identity-shaking angst of adolescence.

Thank you for supporting me even in decisions I've made

that are not easy for you. 

Mom,

thank you for your empathy and creativity.

Thank you for your unconventional thinking

and your unconditional love. 

Mom,

thank you for life.

I love you!
