This is a special day that we celebrate every year. Many of us do it because it is a date on the calendar. We give and receive presents. We get together and eat...This year is different for us. Being a daughter and a mother means something different then it did last year or the years before last. It means being so blessed with 2 such wonderful gifts. There are many people out there who don't have mothers. There are many girls who will never have the opportunity to be a mother. God blessed me with both!! I have the BEST mommy in the whole world....I have 2 fantastic children. YOU are why I will get up and fight every day...YOU have given me the gift of strength.
I know I do not say it enough, but I LOVE you very much. I don't think I could have gotten through the first couple of days without your love and support. Nor do I think I could make it through the next 6 months. I hope that one day, both of my children have for me the deep love, respect, and admiration I have always had for you. I hope when they become parents they want to be like me and Junior...the same way I have always tried to parent like you and dad. That is the best gift I can give you...the ability to pay your blessings forward to my children and grandchildren.
I hope that this day is especially good for you. But most of all, I wish for every day to feel like Mother's Day. You are special and dear to my heart every single day...not just today. I love you and thank you for being you!!
Love,
Dani

How much I love you I can't say:
It's more than words can hold.
You're all at once my rich, red clay,
My potter and my mold.
Yours the words that shaped my voice,
The spirit within mine.
Yours the will that shaped my choice,
My fortune, and my sign.
How lucky I was to have had you
At the core of me!
Wise and good, you always knew
Just what I could be.
And so I came to be someone
Whom I could be proud of.
For this I give my swollen sum
Of gratitude and love.
