Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!!

Not all daughters have that special bond with their mother that I have with you. You have made me the woman I am today. I know that it isn't said enough, but I DO love and appreciate you more than you know. You have led me by an example of strength, courage, and selflessness. I owe my everything to you. You are the most genuine example of what a wife and mother should be. You have made countless sacrifices for our family. You have sat in the shadows and let us shine. You have gone without to give us anything we ever wanted. You are truly everything to us. I don't want you to think that anything you did for us when we were kids, or anything you do for us now, goes unnoticed. Even though we don't always say it or show it, I want you to know how lucky we feel that you are our mother. I hope that I can be half the mother you are. You are my hero! I love you and happy birthday!
