Missing You On Your Birthday Mum

Dear mom,

I know I have never told you this, but I love you very much. You loved me with all your heart. Your love for me never changed; in fact, it doubled when I needed it the most.

I wonder how you could be so selfless; you woke up every day at 5 in the morning to help us. You never complained about the fuss I used to make at the breakfast table. I was naive back then to understand your sacrifices. Thank you for your relentless efforts in making us eat healthily and keeping our family together. In this ever-changing world, your love is the one of the only constants.

I am glad that we have a strong friendship between us. You are like the girlfriend I never asked for. I can talk and discuss anything with you. Thank you for being so open-minded and supportive.

Dear mom,

All my life, I have searched for inspiration to deal with the troubles in life but little did I know that after all these years my steps would return to you. You are my idol, you endured bone crushing pain and brought me into this world, and you made sure I was happy even when you were facing a hard time.

I still remember how you spent sleepless nights, not leaving my bedside when I was sick. I also remember how proud you were when I graduated from college. I was able to achieve this success because of your encouragement and support.

Thank you, mom, for your constant support and belief in me. Your words of encouragement inspired me to work hard and achieve what seemed to be impossible.

What have I done to deserve a mother like you? I thank god for making you my mother. I love you so much and I miss you.

Dear mommy,

I may act like a know-it-all in front of you but a day doesn’t pass without seeking your advice. I have always idolized you. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to dress like you, talk like you and walk like you. Did you know? Whenever my friends would say "your mom is so beautiful," I would feel really proud.

I am sorry for yelling at you at times. You tolerated all my tantrums, door-slams, and silent treatments. Even though I was not the perfect child, you were a perfect mother to me.

My happiness has always been your happiness. Thank you for everything you have given me, mommy.

Dear mom,

You are the first woman in my life, and I am glad to be known as your son. You have shown how a woman can have patience and ability to run the house and still fulfill her dreams. You started your career while we were toddlers and managed both roles perfectly. I have learned to respect women from you.

You were a loving and caring mother, and at the same time, you were strict. You taught me many valuable life lessons, which no school or college could have taught me. This helped me take the righteous path in life.

Today, through this letter, I want to tell you how much I love you, and no matter how far apart we, are you will always remain my mom.

Dear mom,

I write this letter to tell you that you were right all along. I apologize for all those times when I argued with you and told you I knew what was best for me. Now, when my kids behave as I did, I see myself in them and realize how you must have felt.

Missing You On Your Birthday Mum

Mom! I love you so much. Even though I act all grown up and mature, my heart still longs to become that little girl who used to spend most of the time with you. God! How we used to have fun, those late night story times, me braiding your hair, doing makeup on you. I miss all those days, and I miss getting up in the morning and searching for you.

Dear mom,

I had an amazing childhood, all thanks to you and dad. You showered abundant love on me. Although you sometimes saved me from dad, you made sure I would never repeat that mistake.

Seeing you I have realized that being a mom means to have the patience to stay awake (even when you are tired) until your little boy sleeps, being a mom is the ability to love unconditionally even when your teenage boy slams the door, being a mom is taking care of many things and rarely looking tired.

This is just half of what you have done for me; you were the first person to teach me the difference between good and evil, you were the first person to help me feel love. Thank you is a small word for all that you have done for me. Love you forever mom.

Dear mom,

I am glad that I was raised by a strong woman like you. Seeing you, I have learned to get up each time I hit the rock bottom in life. You have been my strength and inspiration. You have taught me to believe in myself and help others. Such valuable lessons helped me in life.

I am sorry for making you worry at times, but thank you for all those moments when you were there for me even when the whole world was against me. It gave me the courage to go in my chosen path. Never stop guiding and supporting me, as I do not know what I would do without you.

I love you forever, my dear mom!

Dear mom,

When I was a little girl, I used to think heroes were extraordinary people who can shoot lasers or scale buildings. But then I realized that a mother is the superhero in a child’s life.

You endured labor, you raised me often putting aside your dreams, and you still think of me before thinking of yourself. Wow, how can anyone be so selfless?

You filled my days with joy and laughter; you understood my pain even when I said nothing about it; you taught me to be positive and take life one step at a time.

On your birthday, I would like to thank you for everything. I love you and I miss you.

The day you and dad left me at my college dorm, I wept so badly missing you guys. How I wished I never grew up and would remain your little girl forever.

Thank You Letters For Mom

Missing You On Your Birthday Mum

Words are not enough to thank your mother for all that she has done for you. But you can express your gratitude through a handwritten letter. This will surely make her happy beyond limits.

Dear mother,

I fear that I may fall short of words if I tried to talk about how much you mean to me. That is why I am writing this letter.

Mom, you have been my best friend throughout my life. You have always loved me for who I am. I wonder how you could handle such a stubborn child like me, and still love me so much.

You chauffeured me to all my dance recitals and sports events. You posted on social media and told how proud you are no matter how small my achievement had been. And you have never left me feeling dejected when I failed.

Thank you, mom for being patient with me and loving me in spite of my flaws.

Dear mummy,

Even though there are a million things for which I can thank you, I would like to start with the life-saving advice you gave me.

I still remember the day when I was crying as my boyfriend dumped me. You assured me that a better man would come along who would work to be good to me.

These words helped me throughout my life and helped me choose a better man. Now, I have a loving husband and a happy family life, all thanks to you.

Thank you for guiding me through various stages in my life, without judging me.

Life is never smooth sailing. I had my difficult days but do you know what made me go on in spite of all the hardships? It is you, mother! You always believed in me, and that gave me the strength to go back and try harder.

When everyone laughed at my dreams, you supported me and made me believe that no dream is impossible to achieve. When I was stuck in the wrong job, you patiently listened to my complaints, to make me feel better.

Thank you for the undying support and confidence in me. I am who I am because of you. This life, this success is all dedicated to you, mother.

Another Birthday Without Her: A Letter to my Mother on my Birthday

Another year, another birthday without my mom. To be honest, if my daughter hadn’t of reminded me that my birthday was coming up, I probably would have forgotten. I don’t look forward to them anymore. Sure, I’m glad to be alive, but you see, celebrations were my mother's thing. She was good at them. She had a special way of making you feel so unique, so loved, and so celebrated. Truth is, she did this every day, not just birthdays.

Birthdays before my mother died were about counting the candles on the birthday cake. Birthdays after my mom died are spent counting how many birthdays it’s been without her. That number is 2. Two birthdays without her here.

Today, on my birthday, the only present I want is another day with her. Just one more day. But no amount of wishes on a birthday cake can make that happen. So, I’ll do what she always told me to do. I’ll write. I’ll write to her.

To my Mother on my Birthday:

Hi, Mom! Today is my birthday, but you already know that. Without you, celebrating just doesn’t seem right. I need you. Not just today, but always.

Your absence changes things. It makes things less beautiful and more heartbreaking. Today, I sit here thinking about this exact day 37 years ago. It was the day you became a mother. It was the day you gave birth to me. Did you realize on this day how amazing you’d be? Did you realize that you were about to become the best mother this world has to offer?

Missing You On Your Birthday Mum

You probably didn’t realize that in the moment you gave birth to me you became so much more than a mother. You became an inspiration. You became a hero. I grew up wanting to be you. I admired everything about you. To this day, I'm still inspired by your unconditional love, your unwavering support, and your dedication to being the best mother any kid could ask for. I’ll never stop wanting to be just like you.

37 years ago our journey began. I became your daughter and the luckiest girl in the world. Being your daughter was a blessing. It was my first gift and the best gift. If I have to celebrate my birthday without you, I’ll celebrate this, this is day I met you

Instead of counting how many candles I’ve blown out without you here, I’ll celebrate that on this very day, I met you. My life will be forever blessed because of that fact. It’s easy to celebrate you.

So when I blow out my candles, instead of making a wish, I’ll be celebrating the moment you and I met, instead of dwelling on the fact that you’re not here.

I miss you every second of every day. Love you, Mom! Always.

This is just beautiful, it is my 40th birthday on Friday and all I can think about is how the 2 people in the room as I was born are no longer here, my heart hurts… but I will take your writing as advice and celebrate it as they day I met them.. much love

Thank you for writing such a lovely tribute to your mom. My mother as she was ā€˜died' many years ago, her brain succumbing to early onset dementia. It's been 7 years since I got a birthday call. She's alive, yet her absence on my birthday opens the ambigious grief wounds. Today I turn 34. I'm older now than she was when she gave birth to me. I'm not sure how I feel about that realization. Only that some day I hope I'll have a little one and birthdays will once again be about celebrating beginnings and milestones. XoXo Liz

Beautiful, I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Laura says:

If you wrote this on your Birthday, you and I share the same day. Happy Birthday to you! Today is my first birthday without my wonderful mom and I am struggling to get through it. She passed unexpectedly five months ago and I miss her so much. She made birthdays and every day so special. Thank you for sharing this, it is a help to get through today and celebrate the day I met my mom.

Shankar malla says:

I cant control my tears…same thing happened in my life the count was almost 8years but still the pain was increasing day b say.my self im shankar turning 28 now, as a human being faced lots of issues in between the journey with strong heart.but when my mind reminds about my mother the guilt in my mind always killing me.i never told how much i love her i never told how much i miss her.i never bought anything for her,..its too late,but i never did a mistake with any of my family members i used to love each n every person with all the heart i have…but the guilty was increasing day by day.

JR says:

This is a blessing to me and my husband. We share the same birthday (believe it or not); it’s today. This is also my 37th (his 35th) birthday, and like you, the 2nd birthday I’m experiencing without my mom.
To make things harder, we also lost my dear mother-in-law 3.5 months ago. So this is the first birthday that my husband and I have had without her. I went on the internet looking for comfort, and your post came up first. Although it sucks that you’ve had to endure this pain, it’s helpful to know that someone else gets it. THANK YOU so much for writing this. I love the idea of honoring our beautiful moms and the fact that we met them this day. God bless you in your griefšŸ’—

Lakshita says:

This is just soo motivating and uplifting, today is my second birthday without Mom and I have just been missing her terribly since morning. I came across your post while searching for some quotes and believe me, it has actually helped stop my tears and think about celebrating it as a day when I first met my Mom. Sorry for your loss, i can actually feel what you've been going through. Stay blessed, knowingly or unknowingly you are really helping people like me stay motivated through this journey called ā€˜Life'.

Teresa says:

Thank you for sharing this, it brought tears to my eyes. Our mom passed away from cancer on July 15, 2022 very unexpectedly. I miss her presence, our daily chats and her as a person. Her birthday is coming up next month and as I struggle to go through the stages of grief, I realize that I too will need to deal with her absence on my birthday. I’ll make sure to celebrate the day that she and I met! ā™„ļø

Megan Albro says:

I am 38 today. I am also two birthdays without my desrly loved and lost parent – my Dad. I came across your post because I have been sitting with tears streaming since my husband asked me if I was okay over 20 minutes ago. I was wondering if it was weird to dissolve into grief on your own birthday instead of your lost loved one.
Thanks for helping me feel less alone today.

Marianne says:

I hope I could get a reply.

Jennifer Talbot says:

Bout to lose it, holding back the tears. You are a beautiful human, and I know your mom was and is very proud of you, on your birthday and every day. I found your post because today is my daughter's birthday and this is the 7th I have not been with her, not by death, but by her choice and parental alienation to begin with. But she turns 22 today and has no appreciation for all the things you appreciated about your mother. I have not been able to be an influence on her, so she has chosen a path of hate and her selfishness is rewarded, when all I ever wanted was to be her mom, love her, make her happy and know that I made the world better through my offspring, not harder. I gave her everything I had. Maybe she will see that one day. For now, her birthday is about her, and I will keep counting. Remembering the day I first held her in my arms, and she made me so happy I truly thought I would never be sad again. This day and mother's day are pretty tough. I guess they are for you too. She did a great job.
