Dear mother,
It's Thanksgiving Day,My thoughts have been turning to those who did so mch for me in the past but I have never fully appreciated.Naturally,you are the first to come to mind.The memories of your reasssuring smiles and supportive hugs are still alive in my mind.Your wise and helpful words seemly resonate in my ears.How could I have grown up without your help?
How sad is it to be unable to speak these words in your presence! However,I hope you can feel my deep appreciation. I want you to know how proud and grateful I am as your daughter.
Your loving daughter,
