'Nuff said

I love you, Mom. Thanks for teaching me, guiding me, making me laugh, laughing at me, bandaging scraped knees and bruised pride, scolding me, hugging me, putting me to bed, waking me up, loving me and helping me become who I am.

At my wedding when a group of my friends told you how much they love me you said, "She's pretty awesome, eh? She's the me I never was." And you smiled from ear to ear. I told you as we got ready that evening that I'd never seen you look more beautiful. Truth is, you're always beautiful to me.
