A Birthday Letter to Mom
If you really want to make her feel special, consider writing a heartfelt letter. Here’s a little inspiration to get you started:
Dear Mom,
Happy birthday! I just want to take a moment to say how incredibly lucky I am to have you in my life. You’ve been my rock through every storm, my biggest supporter, and my safe place when things felt hard.
I know I don’t always say it (and I probably don’t say it enough), but I see everything you’ve done for me over the years. All the sacrifices, the late nights, the quiet patience. You’ve taught me how to love with my whole heart, how to stand strong, and how to be kind even when life gets tricky.
I hope this year brings you the joy you give to others every day. You deserve every bit of happiness. Thank you for always being there, whether I needed advice, a good laugh, or just someone to listen.
I love you more than words.
Love always,
Your favorite (but totally humble) child
