Dear Mom,

I know you’re sitting right upstairs and will probably never read this but oh well. I just want to thank you for everything you do for me and Bailey. I know that you do your best to not step on my toes as her mother, but I don’t know where I’d be without you. I’m sorry that I’m so sensitive. I don’t mean to cry all the time that we have deep conversations. I just overthink, but I am soaking up everything that you’re saying. I think it is easy to say that you are my best friend. Next to Marissa, but that’s to be expected as she is my twin. I know that I put a lot of pressure on myself to do more and be more, and I thank you for always supporting me. I appreciate all of the advice you’ve given me over the years. You’re the one person I know I can expect full honesty from no matter what. I remember that time I told you that I can’t wait to become an adult and move out on my own. Looking back, I pray that I never hear those words from Bailey because I know a tough life lesson is coming next. I remember the exact words you told me and you were exactly right. From you, I learned that I have the perfect instincts to be the best mother I can be. One day, we’ll sit back and laugh at all the silly stuff I did while raising Bailey. Thanks mom.
