MOM THANK YOU FOR BEING MY ROCK, MY CHEERLEADER, AND MY FOREVER FRIEND. YOU ARE MY SHINING STAR, LIGHTING THE WAY EVEN IN THE DARKEST TIMES, AND KEEPING ME CALM DURING THE ROUGHEST OF STORMS. NO ONE IS AS REAL AS YOU WHEN I NEED IT THE MOST. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO COMFORT ME QUITE LIKE YOU DO, TURNING MY SAD TEARS TO HAPPY TEARS AND GIGGLES. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS LOVING ME UNCONDITIONALLY AS I JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE. I'M SO LUCKY TO HAVE A MOM LIKE YOU -- LIFE IS SO MUCH SWEETER BY YOUR SIDE.
