Letter from Daughter to Mother

Dear Mother,

Even before my first tear hits the ground, you have always been there to wipe it. You have always felt my pain even before it hits me hard. You have always understood my needs before I think of them. Mum, you have been an extra ordinary influence on my life and you will continue to be. You have always demonstrated unconditional love towards me even at the times that I do not deserve it. Therefore, having you as my mother is the biggest blessing and gift anyone could have offered me.

One of the greatest attributes you taught me is never to give up. This is one of the characters that has made me reach where I am today. In the event that I was about to give up in some of the activities, you always gave me examples of great individuals who are currently famous just because they did not give up. You have also proved to me that despite difficult situations, giving up should not be an option. It is through this spirit that I have succeeded not only in academics, abut also in sports.

You have also demonstrated to me that hard work is the only way to success. Although you hardly talk about it, your actions speak all about it. According to your stories, I know you were brought up in a poor family to the extent that you got some of the basics needs from other people. You did not go to a good school, but you emerged top of the class despite the challenges of school fees. Right now, I am living a comfortable life which has been contributed by hard work despite challenges you faced when taking care of us. Your success has taught me that hard work pays, and through it, I have managed to reach some points in life that I would have not reached in your absence.

Mom, you also taught me the value of determination and sacrifice. I remember one day I failed in one of the subjects in grade six despite the efforts and the expectation of everyone in the family. I knew you would punish me. Unexpectedly, instead of becoming mad at me, you told me that I do not have to kill myself whenever I feel hopeless in life. This statement has been lingering in my mind every time I face challenges in life. It has boosted my determination and self-esteem to this very day.

As I pen off, I would like you to know that the characters I portray today are linked to your positive influence. You always reminded me that life offers us several of options to pursue. Therefore, in every choice we make there is always a consequence that follows it. In this view, mom you encourage me only to follow choices that have positive impact on my life and those individuals around me. Through your effort to mold me, I have learnt to be honest and act with integrity. Mom, how that I love you, and I will continue to do so. I cannot wait to hear from you.

Your loving daughter,
