写给妈妈的英文感谢信

　　last thursday was thanksgiving day, which is a american holiday. i was very puzzled that why there is not any holiday to express gratitude to god for his blessings and give thanks to dear ones for their love and support in our own country. for myself, i take this opportunity to get to think my thanksgiving. thus i continue to think about this idea, first of all, i should give thanks to god certainly, then i think about the guys around me: there are many people to thank ,people who have done so much for me that i could never possibly repay them . what’s more worse, i’d always just accepted what they’d done. today i really want to express to any of them, as a sincere “thank you.”

　　dear mom，i know that we dont get to chose who are parents will be but, i know that god knows what he is doing. i was blessed with the best mother and couldnt ask for more. i have not always been the best daughter one could wish for, so for today i will do my best to make my wrongs right. i dont know that i have ever asked for your forgiveness, but i am sure that you already forgave me. now i am asking to make sure that you heard it from me, please forgive me for all the wrongs that i have done. i never realized that how difficult being a mother is, in addition i didnt always understand nor appreciate you. now i wish i would have helped you more with the chores around our home. i wish i would have known the exhaustion that a mother feels at the end of each day. you never stopped loving me and you never ever left me even though at times you probably felt like it. i always had a new pair of sneakers at the beginning of each school year, and you would wear the same pair of sneakers for 5 or more years. you always put me first and yourself second. there are so many things you did without a second thought. you took care of me when i was sick, even though you were sick, too. you went nights without sleep from worrying. you made sure that every morning i was up and off to school. there are so many more things that i could list, but i would never be able to remember them all. i took up most of your time, leaving you with no time for yourself.

　　in 2008, i was lost in the failure of college entrance examination .being made redundant was terrible for me, it made me feel as though id lost my purpose in life. but you were always there to lend a helping hand with a warn heart, because you believed your son was the best . but more than anything, i appreciate that you never thought any less of me when i was out of work. i learned a lot about you during that time, and with you in particular i learned that you are the best mom anyone could hope to have. for all of these reasons, and so many more, i just wanted to say thank you. thank you for always having hope for me when i didn’t have for myself. thank you for telling me not to give up when i said i couldn’t do it any more.

　　thank you for never giving up on me when i went through that dark period, when i shut every one out of my life. when loving me must have been like trying to hold a cactus. thank you for loving me through all of my rejections of help and love. thank you for mediating in the relationship with my brother, i know it must be very hard for you to be stuck in the middle of the tension that was between us. thank

　　you for never taking sides, for being there for both of us equally, for being the perfect mother to your very fertile son, and being the perfect mother and pillar of strength to your very infertile son.

　　thank you for sty with me when i was sick in hospital. thank you for sitting there in the chair, either entertaining me with stories from home or just sitting quietly. what a sacrifice you made to raise me. thank you, mom, so much, for every second of the day that you cared and guided me to be who i am today.

　　i came to understand something else that i never did before, the love that a mother has for her children is the most powerful, protective, caring, emotional, sacrificing love that will ever exist on this earth.

　　i have to say it again, mom. thank you with all my heart and i want to tell you that i love you so very, very much and that i am so proud to tell people that you are my mother.

　　love, your son.
