Thankful

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have been spending a little more time than usual thanking the good Lord for all that he has given me- although this is probably something I should do on a more regular basis. What I'm thankful for today is my mother. She has spent the last 22 1/2 years of her life doing absolutely everything that she possibly can to make my life better. She has been my protector, encourager, believer and best friend. She always puts me first in every decision that she makes. I can't even imagine what my life would be like without her. Not only is she the best mom that I could have ever asked for, she also has been a dad to me for the last 10 years, and a great one at that. So this is for you mom. Thank you for everything that you do. Every good thing about me, I got from you. Every good decision that I have made, was because of you. The person I am today, is due to you... and I love you for that.
