Happy Mother’s Day To Marty Seemann

In celebration of Mother's Day on Sunday May 13, we asked Patch readers to write a letter to their mother and let us deliver it. This is Stephanie Seemann's letter to her mom:

As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought I would share my love and appreciation for my mom.

As a young girl, I never understood what you were up against. You made raising triplets look easy! I took the foundation you created for granted, until I realized how difficult it was to create one that could withstand the storms that life inevitably brings us.

I often smile and am filled with a great sense of pride and comfort when I think of all that you have contributed towards my life. You have molded and shaped me into the woman I am today! You are the forever partner that I would have never had otherwise. The tenacity you’ve had to keep plowing through life has instilled strength and courage within myself.

I have taken many life detours because of the choices I have made, and I realize life does not spare hardship on any of us! But because of the platform you provided, I was able to rise above all my troubles and find hope to overcome my struggles.

You have indelibly impressed morals and values with me that will perpetuate itself for generations to come. I am forever thankful you remain committed to the endurance and created a life that was built to last!

Happy Mother’s Day!

—Stephanie Seemann
