Without you there would be no me..........

Without you there would be no me.

I want to thank you for teaching me how to love.
How to try to always find the good in other people and
that no matter what, there is always someone else out there worse off than me.
I often wondered to myself how it is you did that.
I want to thank you for teaching me courage and strength.
Courage to face the problem at hand. Strength to beat it.
You overcame so much in your short life.
I want to thank you for teaching me how to be a mother.
I can only hope to measure up.
In my eyes I have very big shoes to fill.
But most importantly I want to thank you for the following things:
** Always allowing me to be me, and loving me anyway.
The good, the bad and yes, the ugly.
**for always being there for me. You may not have agreed
with what I was doing but you stood by me anyway.
**For always telling me I could and would do anything I put
my mind to, and giving me the means to make it.
**But most of all I want to thank you for not only being the best mother
a child could want, but being the best mother a child could have.


Without you there could be no me.

I love you momma, you will live on.
