I’ve been trying to write this all day and the words are failing me. Today is my Mom’s birthday and although she thinks that I am the smartest, most talented, most creative daughter, the truth is, I am nothing next to her. Her love, generosity, consideration, and devotion are so overwhelmingly greater than anything that I could ever hope to be.
She has taken care of me…continues to take care of me after all these years. She is Mom. She is a friend.
So, Mom…thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for nourishing me physically and mentally. Thanks for encouragement and support.
I only hope that I can grow to be more like you.
Ok Gina Marie,
I just cryed 10 buckets of tears..That's what unconditional love is honey…You are my life..Sorry to say you will never know how I feel because you won't have a daughter which breaks my heart.. Alot of people don't me for who I am.. I try to be a good person… But I know one thing I will never lose you.. I might not agree with you all the time, but nobody can take you from me, you are stuck with me…I love you so very much, and you are what I wanted to be my whole life.. You have taught me so much in life. I proud to say you are my daughter I love you so very much ….
Your Mom
Such a beautiful tribute to your mother. It brought a tear to my eye, too, and I'm not related to either of you.
This is so beautiful. Mom and daughter relationships can be complex but always the one thing you need in your life 🙂 Happy Birthday to your mom!
Simply beautiful. Karen you rock and Gina you have a wonderful way with words!!!
