i hope my mother knows that every fiber of my being is possible because of her. i hope she knows the drive and determination she's demonstrated every day of my life is the reason i work for my dreams. i hope my mother knows how pure her love is. how that pure love has influenced the way i love others, and the world around me. i hope my mother knows she's the reason i never give up. i hope she knows how much i respect her. how much i long to become even half the woman she is someday. i hope she knows how much our roadtrips and sunday rides meant to me as a kid. i hope she knows how much i wanted to be just like her. i hope my mother knows how much i recognize her healing. putting yourself back together after tragedy is an unimaginably difficult uphill battle, and she did it with incredible strength and grace. i hope she knows how much she inspires me. i hope my mother knows how contagious her laugh is. that it makes this sometimes incredibly dark world so much brighter. but maybe most of all, i hope my mother knows how much i love her, and how i hope every dream she's ever had has come true.
