Happy Mother’s Day all the way from Romania! 

I know you are up north at the cottage, and I wish I was up there with you & Daddy.

First of all I want to say I love you so much!  

Second of all I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for me growing up, and while I know that there have been times when it doesn’t seem like it I appreciate everything that you have done for me, I want you to know that deep down inside of me I really did appreciate it all.  I know that you wanted the best for me in everything that I did or say, and I know that even the times that I fought with you on certain things, I know that it was the best for me at the time even if I didn’t think so back then for I know that I was a strong-willed child. 

Thank you for raising me in a Christian home, and teaching me Christian values as that has truly set a foundation in my moral life as that has been a huge part of my story, and without that foundation I don’t know where I would be today.

I am so grateful for you, and all you have taught me.  You have taught me the value of hard work, and all of the rewards that will come from it. 

Thank you for all of the support you have given me in everything I have done, and helped me to reach many of the goals that I have set for myself.  Thank you for believing in me, and not being too overprotective of me growing up as that has made me the strong & independent women that I am today.    

I really wish that you (& Daddy) were able to come out to Romania for PVT and be able to share this World Race experience with me, but in my heart I know that you can’t, and I understand that.  

I miss you alot, and I can’t to see you in August!

Love your daughter,

Bonnie
