Dear Mom,

I appreciate all the things you do for me. I mean you take me everywhere I need to go. Plus you work a lot so you don’t have much time to yourself. I’m glad you’re my mom. You have your hands full but, hey, you work it out. Your frog is awesome. I’ll try and keep my room clean and not fight with my sisters. I know how it bugs you. I love you more than I love reading. XOXOXO

Love,

Erin Williams

Love,

You’re the best mom in the world.

I thank you for coming to see me once in a while. I thank you for coming over Saturday. I hope I will get to see you more than usual.

Maybe when you get a place to live I’ll stay with you. I love you and want to see you more.
