hey mama,

sooooo my cousin left her friendster account on (haha!) and it was on my mom's profile. She had an album entitled "mah pics" HAHAHAHAHA!!! hella g. and so i looked through her pics. 32 pictures she found on my computer of me and her, and even some of just me. i, literally, almost teared up.. i've been the biggest brat complaining and bitching about how we don't understand eachother like we used to. feeling like she didn't care. but shiiiiiiit, just that album made me realize how immature i've been. inside i was just thinking, shit.. i love you so much. (oh and also that i should be careful what pictures i keep on my computer. haaaaaaaa!)
i love you for always caring. i love and admire your strength. i love you for putting your wants and needs aside and focussing on mine, since 1991. i love your selflessness. i love your honesty. i love how you ask the most obvious questions. i love when you cant pronounce your f's. i love you for all your hard work. i love you for your support. i love that when i come to you crying, you never ask me whats going on, you just tell me everything will be alright cus you know i wouldnt want to talk. i love that you tell me to drink lots of water when i cry. i love how you still honk when you get home. i love how you never complain. i love how you believe me every time i say that i'm sick. i love how you bought a van because i wanted to drive my friends around. i love when you tell me stories about work. i love how you talk as if you actually know kid carson and neera arora. i love how you try your hardest to get me to school on time, even if it means you're late for work. i love your constructive criticsm. i love your freckles and that i got them from you.

i love you mama, i'm so proud of you. thank you for everything and all that you are. i'm sorry for all the pain i've caused, i understand now that you're only trying to raise me right..

you have, i want to be just like you when i grow up:
strong, determined and selfless. i only hope that one day, my daughter will love me at least half as much as i love you.
