Dear Mom,

Hi Mom! To the one who carried me for 9 months and sacrificed her time for me. To the one who cared the most and loved me the most. To the one who treated me like a princess because she's a queen. To the one who helped and made me realize my dreams and goals. The one who's been with me, who helped me accomplish my goals. You've always been there for me even though you've been one of my most hated person in this world. You've hugged me even though I pushed you away. You treated my wounds even though I strucked you. You whispered softly even though I yell at you. You apologized to me even though I was the one at fault. You always tell me that everything's alright even though I could hear you cry at night. 

I haven't told you how much I love. I haven't shown how I could take care of you. I haven't given up any time to hang out with you. I've never cooked or baked for you. I haven't told you that you're beautiful or banned you to do something.

I haven't thanked you since the first time you gave me my most wanted shoes...

Thank you for staying beside me when I was hospitalized.

Thank you, because you stayed beside me even though it was already late at night.

Thank you, because you protected me from bees that almost killed me.

Thank you, because you were the first one who noticed that I was sick and trembling.

Thank you because you gave me a home.

Thank you because if not for you, I wouldn't and couldn't write and read.

Thank you because you adopted me.

Thank you because you're always there for me even though I've never been there for you.

Thank you because you're still beside me even though you have another man now.

Thank you for being there and never giving up on me when I went through that dark period, when I shut every one out of my life. When loving me must've mean trying to hold a cactus. Thank you for being there when I rejected everyone's love and care.\

Mom, I never really thought that I would be writing something like this. I swear, I've never imagined to be cheesy like this. but I never though of how horrible daughter I have been. I wrote this simply because I love you and looking back, I never tried to understand you. Looking back, I never knew how horrible it must've been to deal with someone like me. Like me who never looks back, never treated you better or been good to you. I know how terrible of a child I am, but thank you for understanding me the most. 

I've never told you how much I love you, Mom.

I love you more than anything else!

I love you, Mom!

I love you than anyone else in this world!

Your daughter,

Hermelyn
