I will never understand how my loving family poses any threats to family values and why so many laws need to be written against it. I don’t understand why so much energy, money, and debates are wasted to decide what to do about my family. I don’t understand why my family’s rights become more important issues in the government and on the news than issues like poverty and child abuse. I don’t understand why some religions view my loving family as sin. I don’t understand why my family matters less than some families.
I want you to understand that my family is real. We fight. We love. We stand next to each other.
I am sharing a letter written by our daughter. She has been picked on and lost friends because she has two moms. Yet, she continues to stand up and believe in her family.
Dear Moms,
First let me began by wishing you both a Happy Mother’s Day. If there is anyone who truly deserves to be honored on this day it is the two of you. You both are the best moms a girl could ask for and sometimes I may not always show my gratitude for you. You both do so much for me. You love me, care for me, and push me to be the best.
Mommy, I love you. I’m so glad that you are my mom. You have taught me so much over the course of my life thus far, and I know you will continue to teach me as the years go on. The most important things I have learned from you are to never give up and to follow my dreams. You are always my biggest fan, my loudest cheerleader, and my toughest coach. I cannot thank you enough for that. I hope you have a splendid Mother’s Day.
Momma Lav, I love you. I’m so happy that my mommy found you. You really complete our family. You are a wonderful mother and just an overall wonderful person. You push me to do better and you force me to think. Thank you for everything you do for me. It never goes unnoticed or unappreciated. I hope you have a wondrous Mother’s Day.
To bring this letter to a close I would like to say this, Moms you are the strongest, most amazing women I know. I’m glad that I had both of you to raise me. You both make me so happy and feel so loved. I hope you both have an amazing Day! I love you both so much.
Love,
SAM
Beautiful letter Susan. I know it means a lot to them coming from you. The day you become a mom you forever have your heart running around outside of your body, but there is nothing that I would have rather be than Mom to my two wonderful sons.(you would really like both of them)I wish that we would have had more opportuntiy to see you grow into the beautiful woman you have become.
