a letter to mom

"'being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs...

since the payment is pure love' said mildred vermont.

i previously wrote a letter to my dad, detailing childhood memories

and silly stories, providing a brief glance into our relationship. 

with the approaching holidays (when the importance of family is paramount),

i wanted to do the same for you, mom.

though our relationship is far from perfect, i am grateful to have you as my mother.

not only are you my mom, but also my friend, role model, and mentor. 

i remember us baking cookies when i was little;

you always let me lick the spoon.

i remember you driving me to school, curling my hair,

and helping me with homework each day [...]"
