It’s finally here, Mother’s Day 2015. A day dedicated to all of the beautiful, one of a kind mothers in the world. Today, they will open gifts from their children and be treated like the true queens that they are. Hugs will be shared and an abundance of love will be provided.
Today, is a day that most mothers look forward to.
However, for some, it’s a reminder that they are doing this alone. There’s no one to share the weight of raising a child with. Or even someone to help when things get a little rough financially. So, today, I’d like to dedicate the following letter to all of the single moms, in particular, my mother, Cynthia. You are not alone.
Dear Mom,
As you face the day to day struggles of being a single mother, I would like to remind you of a few things. You are a beautiful testament of what motherhood should be and you should never forget that. You are strong, beautiful, intelligent and extremely hard working. There is no one on this Earth like you.
Although, it may seem like your children, are too busy and consumed with their own lives. You are still the center of it. You taught us how to love, how to thrive and how to be exceptional. Without you, we would not exist.
I know, at times it may seem like you will never find someone to love you again. But, you should always remember, the right person will come when you stop looking. However, when that person finally comes, you should know, that you will have someone in your corner, ready to read him his rights and give him the third degree.
When things get tough financially, know that your children are here. If possible, we will provide for you and give you the world. It’s the number #1 reason why we work as hard as we do. One day, you will get your dream house and your dream car. For me, Cynthia will get a red two door Mercedes with only enough room for her purse and our dog Pebbles.
Today, I just want you to know how loved and appreciated you are. You are our rocks. We love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for the love, the inspiration, the life lessons and for being the woman who you are.
I love you Mom. Happy Mother’s Day.
Love, Courtney
