Dear Mom

Dear Mom, 

I don't want to start this off by saying thank you, that's a little too cliche for me. 

I want to start off by saying, you are wonderful.

You are one of the greatest persons I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my life. 

I take great pleasure in saying that. Let's me know that you were right all along.

All those times we argued and fought about pointless things

I turned out alright, even when I thought you were holding me back from living.

In all actuallity you were keeping me up.

Holding my back when I was so close to giving up.

You pushed me forward and said "Get back up"

"And don't let me catch you down here again, we don't sulk in our tears. We dry them off and keep moving forward" 

And for that I thank you.

Thank you Mom.

Sincerly, Sidney
