I love you because you are
a grateful woman who works hard,
and loves deeply your dear husband
his huge Christian family
my friends and me!
I love you because
you have such a generous nature.
Sharing your coupon knowledge, charity items,
your good sense, your wonderful baking
with the world, for no particular reason!
I love you because you
care deeply about humanity, speaking to
and for those less fortunate,
discovering their stories
and reserving judgement!
I love you because you are positive
loyal, kind, patient and thoughtful
to me, and others!
I love you because
you are independent, love board
and video games, trolls, cards, dogs
traveling and shoes!
I love you because you love black
and red as much as me, if not more!
Enjoy our bright funky surroundings,
and know how to have fun on the cheap!
I admire you because you love so many genres of music,
have such an enormous music knowledge,
knowing the lyrics to more
songs from my youth, than I do!
I admire you because you are patriotic,
get excited about a hard downpour of rain,
a good concert, a day at the beach, a
car show and SNOW!
I admire you because you aren't like me,
you talk comfortably to everyone,
enjoy traveling, ask for deals,
get many things free,
prefer fun childlike characters on
your Christmas tree,
old teacups, hard candy
and carry a million useful things in your purse!
I admire you because
you love Vegas for the fun,
the glitz, glamour,
concerts and shopping
more than the booze and gambling!
I'm proud of you because you know how to have fun
by being silly, enjoying the moment, dressing up,
being witty, playing games, or cooking!
I'm proud of you because you enjoy simple moments,
have consistently recorded family events with
thousands of photos even though
you don't own a high end camera!
I love you because you are peaceful,
frugal, respectful of money and others!
Helpful to your in-laws and me all the time!
I admire you because you're smart,
great with numbers,
brave, spiritual, don't succumb to
instant gratification, or peer pressure,
don't need praise, are a wonderful cook,
creative, goal oriented and will backpack
to attend a festival!
But most of all I love you because you are You!
My amazing special daughter who is such a good soul,
and my best friend! Have an a phenomenal year Cupcake,
you deserve the BEST life
has to offer! Thank you for all you've taught me!!
I feel extremely blessed!!
