To my Mommy...

I don't really even know how to begin this...

We have never really looked at anything the same way, and its really hard for us to get a long almost all the time. You are very stubborn, unbearable, and pretty much a buzzkill all the time. Its really easy to not like you. But after all these years, I'm finally starting to understand you; why you are the way you are. I've "hated" you so many times, I've lost count, but I don't. I really don't. 

I've always taken you for granted, thinking you would be around forever. But lately, your hair is grayer, your wrinkles are more defined, and you are always sore somewhere. After this cancer scare, and this trip to the ER, I've realized that one day, you won't be there and I will have to carry on without you. But because of all that you've done, and all that you are still/ will be teaching me, I'll be all right.

You have sacrificed so much for me all these years, and you still continue to do so. You have always been there for me, every time I needed you, and when I thought I didn't. You understood more than I gave you credit for, especially through my first heartbreak. You are more than a full-time mom and even through hard times, you've never complain. I can't even begin to list all that you've done and nothing will ever suffice to express how grateful I am. But for now, I just want to say...

Thank you, Mommy. I love you.

Happy Mother's Day!

As always, sorry for the picture quality and my not so attractive faces. Haha.
