dear mummy

Thank you for being here every step of the way,
for believing in me when it seemed like no one else did.

Thank you for being so patient and understanding,
for all those times I shut myself up.

Thank you for believing in me and telling me that I will be okay,
especially on days I feel like I'm never going to get through this.

Thank you for telling me it's okay to cry, and for crying with me.

Thank you for reminding me how much you love me,
and how I still am loved by everyone around me.

Thank you for helping me make sense of all that I'm going through,
and reassuring me that it isn't because of me.

Thank you for giving me the strength to keep going when I stumble.

Thank you for supporting me in my pursuit of God,
and constantly helping me to focus on Him and His greater plans for me.

Thank you for never giving up on me,
even when I feel like I'm on the verge of giving up on myself.

Thank you for continuing to give me the best, even when I least deserve it.

Most of all, thank you for being my biggest reason to keep moving forward.

I'm still a huge work in progress, but I promise that I'm doing my best.

I don't know what I'd do without you. I love you, Mummy.
