Without my mom…
I would not have someone who loves and supports me unconditionally.
I would not have had someone who saved cereal boxes and ran STAY VOCAL mailorder.
I would not have had someone who encouraged me to take my first touring merchandise job.
I would not have had someone who cared for me after my first surgery…and second, and third.
I would not have had someone who sat in the lodge and read while my friends and I snowboarded.
I would not have had someone who took me all over Massachusetts to go skateboarding.
I would not have had someone who helped me make a Charlotte Hornets themed basketball court.
I would not have had someone who drove me to all of my baseball games.
I would not have had someone who signed my detention slips and was on MY side. Well, usually.
I would not have had someone who bought me jigsaw puzzles to keep my mind occupied.
I would not have had someone who held me after a duck attacked my sock in Disney World.
Without my mom, I would not exist.
Today and every day Mom, I thank you and I love you.
