Raising a child is certainly no easy task, and I’ve never even tried so I’m just speaking from observation. Nonetheless, it seems like there is a lot of pressure placed upon parents to successfully prepare their offspring for the world that lies outside their homes. Whether direct or indirect, all people are undoubtedly at least a minor reflection of those who raised them from birth. The same is true for me.

In the endless abyss of potential sentence formulations from which writers such as myself may select, it is clear to me that I will never be able to create a combination of words within the English language that could express the amount of gratitude and love I hold for my mom.

So, I’m not even going to try. All that is left is the fact that I simply would not be the person I am today without her guidance. 

This post is for all the Mother’s out there, your affect you have on our lives is more than you will ever know!

Love you, Mom
