A Thank You Letter To My Mom

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

Dear Mom, 

In honor of Mother’s Day coming up, I wanted to write you a thank you letter to remind you of how truly special you are to me. Where do I even begin? Thank you so much for everything you do for me and for playing such an important role in my life. You truly are my rock, and I would be so lost without you. You have been there with me through every high and low, and I am so thankful for you. 

Thank you for being my biggest fan. You have found a way to make every school performance and sporting event that I am involved in, and you find a way to volunteer in everything you can. You were in the stands at every choir performance, solo contest, volleyball game and any other activity I was a part of, and I am forever grateful for that. Thank you for making cookies for school functions whenever you were asked and for volunteering your time for school functions in whichever way possible. You really are my biggest supporter in my life, and it means the world to me.

Thank you for being a wonderful role model. You are such a strong, kind, independent and caring woman and a rockstar mom. If I am even half as amazing of a woman as you are, I will be satisfied. Thank you for setting a wonderful example for me to follow throughout the years, and I am forever grateful for you.  

Thank you for providing the best advice. Your words of wisdom are so insightful and super helpful. You really have a knack for putting things into perspective. Our heart-to-heart conversations are some of my favorite things on this earth, and I appreciate all the times you have lent me your ear when I needed to talk. 

Thank you for being my best friend. I can’t even think of a day when we haven’t communicated in some way. Thank you for all of the phone calls and for being an awesome movie buddy. I could talk to you about anything, and our close-knit bond is something I will treasure forever. 

Out of all the moms in the world, how did I get the best one? Thank you for everything, and Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

 

Love always,

Hayden
