FOREVER....and a day..

My Angel

Mom is the first word that a child says when he/she learns to speak. She remains the center of attention and respect for a child for a long time to come and it's her love and peace in her lap that clings forever to the memory of a child...

When i first opened my eye, i saw an angel ... that was you(mom)... when i first stepped my foot, i was holding my angel's finger... you were always there for me... whether in my happy moment... or had my heart broken.....

Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly...Thanks for all the support that you have given to me. Thank you for being such a kind and loving Mother..

I might forget the world, but I can never forget the love you showered on me...I might not know the pains you went through to make us what we are. But, what I know is that we all love you. You care, love and teach. You are protective and supportive. You make me a proud person.

My respect for you is no different than your love for me, without boundaries. You are my crowning support and the best thing that I own..You are not just a mother to me, but you are the best girl friend I have ever had. Daddy is really lucky to find someone like you, 'coz God doesn't make angels like you anymore....

On this beautiful day, when you turn into a 59 year old.....I wanted to say Happy Birthday and I love you. And there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t thank whatever higher power is out there for allowing you to be born because without you there would be no me....

You brought me into this world 26 years ago and showered me with love. You raised me to be the best person possible. You taught me right from wrong. You taught me how to stand on my own two feet. You loved me and believed in me when I didn’t always deserve it. You saw my potential for greatness long before I ever did. And you showed me the only one standing in the way of my dreams is me and my fear. You’ve shown me what hardwork and dedication can accomplish.

And for all of that, I thank you.

I hope the coming year brings a reprieve from all of the back problems you’ve been dealing with. I pray everyday that they get straigtened out so you can go back to the life you were living before because it breaks my heart to see you go through this. But at the same time, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have you because you are showing me just how strong a person can be when they have to. Your strength and resilience awes me, and I just hope that I can live up to the example you’ve set for me.

I love you, mom, and I hope you have a great birthday....May you continue to live a joyful life for all the years to come...


Love always,
Your infuriating mooch of a daughter
