I got this email just now and I am still boo-hooing! Today is my birthday and I am here in Orange (all by myself) as none of my family are nearby. Even my hubby is 800 miles away. I was kinda feeling a little sorry for myself and this email made all the difference in my attitude...

Mom,

I just wanted to write a little note to tell you how much I love you, and appreciate you. You have never faltered, never failed in what you do. I know I am blessed to have a mom like you. You have always been my inspiration, my friend and confidant. Everything I know about life I have learned from you. Everything I know about raising my family I have learned from you. You mean the world to me, and I hope that today is a special day for you. A day to celebrate you and everything you do, this one day might be your day to celebrate. But I want you to know that I celebrate you everyday. I will call you a little later when I am not so busy at work.

Love,
