When 2013 Ambassador Avery was diagnosed with a brain tumor, her mom was her biggest support. Now 12 and two years post-treatment, Avery shares her sweet letter to her mom for Mother’s Day.
Dear Mom,I love you because you love me.
Thank you for teaching me how to sew, taking me to piano and helping me when I had cancer. You are the best mom in the world.
I love you, Mom, because you have helped me in all my times of need. Whenever I was in the hospital you were always there for me.

I am so happy I have you because without you I wouldn’t be able to go shopping or know how to sew.
I am so glad I have you so that you can cook your amazing meals every night.
Mom, you are a mom unlike any other. You are special in many different ways.
You brighten my day every day of my whole life. I love seeing your smile and seeing you happy!
I know I have said this a lot, but I love you. You are my hero and the best mom anybody could ever ask for. I love everything you do.
I hope someday I can follow in your steps.
You are a unique person and I love you. Thank you for being my mom and my hero.
Sincerely,
Avery
This Mother’s Day, give your mom a gift that gives back. Make a donation to childhood cancer research and send her a special Mother’s Day ecard designed by Avery.
