and then this happens to make my day

When days seem at their darkest, things happen to help you remember that the sun is still shining, you just might not be able to see it right now. I was feeling pretty low yesterday for a lot of reasons I don't really need to go into. But then, my beautiful daughter sent me this message on Facebook after I had gone to bed. This is what I got to wake up to!

I'm so glad I have you as a mom.

How you didn't quite agree with everything I did. But you weren't bluntly against it. How you trusted me to make the right decisions, even if you didn't understand why I wasn't doing what I should...

I'm glad you didn't try to control who I turned out to be and let me become who I was meant to be

I'm grateful that you were always supportive. Even in those moments you probably wished you weren't.

I'm just so happy that you are my mom.

Melts my heart. She may not remember my birthday or Mother's Day but things like this make those days not quite as important.
