You are not only my mother you are also my best friend,
You are always there for me and I know I can always count on you to support and love me no matter what.
I love that I can tell you anything and know I will never be judged.

Your love is so deep and so true, you are genuine, caring, and the most giving person I know.
I love that I can joke and laugh with you, but also vent or cry during times of frustration and sadness, and that you will be there for me… no matter what.
Thank you for being there during the tough times… the times I have wanted to give up on myself, but you stopped me and did anything to pull me back.
You are forever my best friend and I hope and pray that I can be half the mother you have been to me <3
I love you so very much Mommy, and I wish you a joyful Happy Birthday, a day you deserve more than you know.

Hi, my Tessa,
What a beautiful tribute! My Donna is not only a wonderful Mom to you and your brothers, but she has always been a wonderful daughter to me. I fell in love with her this day some years ago, and that love has grown and flourished. You too, will have a daughter one day and you will have the same relationship. It’s a tradition in our family.
I love you tons and tons,
Grma
