Dear mom,
Thank you for not taking my decisions for me
Or else I wouldn't have known how to learn from my mistakes.

Thank you for not buying me every last toy in the store
Or else rejection would have been unbearable for me.

Thank you for not leaving me to the babysitter
Or I wouldn't have learned to be independent.

Thank you for scolding me everytime I misbehaved
Or I wouldn't have known the difference between right and wrong.

Thank you for punishing me everytime I wronged someone
Or I wouldn't have know that mistakes come with consequences.

Thank you for being strict
Or I would have ended up spoilt.

Thank you for not helping me in my fights with the society kids
Or the high school bullies would have been to much to deal with.

And thank you for always loving me and reminding me that you are always there
Or those little heartbreaks would have left me with nothing to hold on to.



Thank you ma, for everything.
