My gift

Every once in a while, god blesses our lives with such an incredible gift that it leaves us wondering "What did I ever do to deserve this?"

As with every day, but even more so today, I find myself in awe of the fact that I was the lucky one who received this special gift. For my entire life I've carried this gift around with me in my heart everywhere that I go. No matter how near or far I may be, it's always there when I need it- to laugh with, to cry with, to encourage and support; no matter what the occasion, this gift has always known exactly what I've needed.

So to you, mom, I want to say thank you. I couldn't have asked for a greater gift than having you as my mother. To my best friend, I wish you a very Happy Birthday!
