5. "I don’t say it enough, but every part of who I am is because of you. Your strength, your kindness, your stubborn belief in me… thank you for being my foundation."
6. "Moms have a superpower: they can fix a scraped knee, calm a broken heart, and make a bad day better with just a hug (or maybe a plate of cookies). Thank you for using yours on me, always."
7. "Thank you for the million little things—remembering my favorite snack, listening to my rants, cheering louder than anyone at my games. Those ‘little’ things mean everything."
8. "You’ve worn so many hats over the years: chef, nurse, tutor, therapist, and my go-to for terrible jokes. Thank you for being all of them, and doing it with a smile (most of the time)."
9. "I used to think you had all the answers, and now I realize—you just had all the love. Thank you for loving me through my mistakes, my chaos, and my ‘I know better’ phases."

11. "You’re the reason I believe in second chances, in kindness, and in the beauty of small moments. Thank you for showing me how to live well—by living well yourself."

13. "Thank you for not just telling me to be brave, but for being brave enough to let me learn my own lessons. You gave me wings, and I’m so grateful."
14. "Some days, you’re my rock; other days, you’re the one who reminds me to breathe. Thank you for being whatever I need, exactly when I need it."
15. "I watch you now, and I see how much love you pour into everyone around you—like it’s an endless well. Thank you for filling my cup first, every single time."
16. "You turned ‘I can’t’ into ‘I can,’ and ‘I’m scared’ into ‘Let’s try.’ Thank you for being my courage when I didn’t have any of my own."
17. "Thank you for the messy, beautiful, exhausting, wonderful life you’ve built for our family. It’s not perfect—but it’s ours, and that’s all because of you."
18. "Moms don’t get enough credit for the ‘invisible work’—the worrying, the planning, the endless care that no one else sees. I see it. And I thank you for it, deeply."
19. "You’re my first memory, my constant, and my future. Thank you for loving me in a way that feels like coming home—warm, steady, and always true."
