Dear Mom…

Dear mom, Words cannot describe how I feel about you. I am going to try and put it in words. As well, Have I told you lately how grateful I am for you mom and that it’s an honor to be your daughter…

Dear mimi. Thank you for being a woman of honor. Thank you for having a vision of adopting me before I was even born. For asking the Lord before going at anything. When I say it’s a true honor to be your daughter I mean it. When I first met you I was 6 months old,but the Lord knew before I was created how much love we would have for each other. I remember growing up when dad would say we slept the same and scrunched our noses the same way. One of my favorite memories while growing up, is when I would beg you to let me watch the Cheetah girls in your bed with you and eat cheese it’s. I was in wearing an A&M cheerleading outfit. You were so worried I’d get cheese it’s on my outfit. I also remember you taught me how to be boujee at a young age. Everyone who wonders where I get that and my sass from. It’s from my mother.

You as well were a women who taught me what genuine love and a healthy marriage looked like. I have never seen you and dad get in a fight and when I did it was something crazy about how he needed new pants or how he was crazy for wearing shorts in 30-degree weather. Remember when we tried to go to Snow Mountain but someone was too cold. Or you roasting his style. You taught me that no matter how many boys break my heart, the Lord has one for me who will treat me like how dad treats you. You were a woman who invited the Lord into marriage. You loved dad like no one else. I remember you told people it was him and I always in your corner. How we would stick up for you whenever. The way you talk about dad is how I want to talk about my husband  I want to look at someone how you look at my dad. Whenever you look at dad it’s like you’ve never seen him before and fall in love with him for the first time. The glossiness in your eyes was like one of those cheesy movies. Thank you for giving me hope that I can look at a guy just like that one day. 

Oh my gosh and let’s not forget our crazy funny times together. I would not have gotten a shopping addiction if it wasn’t for you. Starting me young by my addiction to target as well. I remember you told me when I was little grab your keys and say gotta go. And you’d always say shhh don’t tell dad. You were a mom who could read me like a book. I remember you’d always pick me up when I was little from school , you’d let us go to target and Starbucks. Oh and also I know your exact coffee order by heart and would be so happy when you’d let me put cream in.  It would be all black with three sugars and creamer. Exact. And if I added any extra you would be so stubborn and not drink it lol. You were always a woman who taught me also to be so strong and independent in the best way possible. Also, let’s not forget that one time when I was little and you left Days Of Our Lives on and then you came home from running errands and I word for word told you everything that happened. Or when we would watch Glee and gasp every five seconds because of some drama. Oh and that one time you drove me to preschool and said something you probably shouldn’t have and then I went to school screening duck every second. But don’t worry I won’t embarrass you with any more stories;)

I want to as well thank you. Thank you for letting me grow into a beautiful young woman. A woman who now has many of your characteristics and walks with the Lord. Thank you for letting me not take crap from anyone and learn how to stay strong on my ground.
