Well, there's not much to say about you. You have loved me unconditionally my entire life, and that's why I love you more than anything in the world right now. You were always there for me to talk to, for me to rest my head on, for me to share my tears with. You would always listen to me, even if it was about something totally stupid. When I was growing up in Milwaukee, we had virtually no money. You did what you could to get me and anthony what we needed, and that's why I see you as the strongest person in the world. We were poor, and I still consider those to be some of the best days of my life. I still remember the time when me and you made those mini-snowmen and put them on the railings of our "apartment" building. I remember when you used to give me and anthony money to go to the corner store and buy Swedish Fish. I remember on my fifth birthday, you brought me to Chuck E. Cheese's, even though just going there was expensive for you. Even though it was, you still brought me there because you knew I loved it. I got my first bike that day. You took a picture of me after we got home, and you told me to act like I was tired, even though I was wide awake. I remember growing up, and going to the 8th grade dinner dance. I came home and cried my eyes out, because no one danced with me. You hugged me and told me that it was alright. I remember my first day of high school, and I was really nervous. You gave me dry toast to eat, because you said it would calm my upset stomach. I remember you driving me to my senior prom, and you telling me it was alright, I was gonna have fun even though I didn't have a date. I remember you almost crying at my graduation rehearsal, even though it wasn't the real thing. I remember you hugging me before the real thing, telling me good luck. I just wanna thank you for being there for me ALL THE TIME. I love you more than anything in this world. Mom, you're the greatest person I've ever known, and no one will ever take your place. I love you...
