Dear Mom,Everyday you do things for me. Things I am sure I don't even notice. Mom, you have been there for me, loved me, and cared for me in times when no one else did. When I was heartbroken, I knew that I could come home everyday and just sit and cry while you hugged me and let me. Mom, I don't understand how you can love someone who has lied to your face, yelled at you, and taken all you have done for them for granted. And yet you do. Being a mother is possibly one of the scariest things I have in my future, and yet the one thing that comforts me is that I have the ultimate example for the perfect mom. And just like the saying goes, 'perfect moms aren't real, and real moms aren't perfect'.
What one of us hasn't made mistakes that effect those around us? And yet you make it look so easy to overcome all that you have. Mom, you are a heroine in my eyes. I could not even imagine making it through this life without you guiding me, teaching me, and talking to me about what is going on.
I know I take you for granted a lot of the time, but mom, I really don't, I just don't know how to show how much I appreciate you. I love you, and realize some of the great sacrifices you have made to give me a comfortable life, a testimony of the church, and an ability to communicate. I love you with all my heart, and will love you even more when I come to realize the love a mother has for her child.
The worst thing about disobeying you, or "standing up for myself" is knowing that I have hurt you in the process of doing so. I know I can't be perfect mom, but I will try for you, and all those who have helped me become who I am today. I love you.
Your daughter for Eternity,
Paige Marie Loudon
