Dear mom,<\/p>\n
Thanks for walks on the beach and along hiking trails,
\nThanks for driving down dead-end roads to see broken bridges,
\nThank you for teaching me so much.
\nThanks for food, for a home, for money, for love,
\nThanks for being a great listener and talker,
\nThanks for always making me feel welcome.
\nThanks for letting me sleep in.
\nThank you for being proud and supportive, and for letting me keep my old crap around.
\nThanks for reading my blog posts, and encouraging me to write.
\nThank you for letting me go my own way and learn my boundaries, along with your protective, motherly advice.
\nThank you for occasionally letting me bring home a big stick to keep around the house.
\nThank you for always being respectful of me as a person.
\nThanks for big warm hugs. \ud83d\ude42
