I recently bought a piece of furniture at an auction. When I brought the piece home, I discovered a letter that was stuck in the very back of a drawer. It was a handwritten note from a daughter to her mother for Mother's day.
"May 2006
Mom,
We talk quite often about those who have a positive and powerful impact on our lives, and most of the time the list of people we come up with is pretty short. There is one woman, however, that tops that list that has always made us feel loved, has comforted us during times of need, and brought normality during times of chaos. That wonderful woman is you and we cannot be more thankful to have you as our Mother; for all that you do for us & the family.
We love you & hope you have a very happy Mother's Day! We wish to make you as proud of us, as we are to have such a beautiful Mom like you!
Love, Jennifer & Steve"

I wish to leave these words with you and ask that you take the time to thank someone that has had a powerful impact on your life.
