A very friendly and not entirely unattractive FedEx guy just delivered a package that I was sure was my eagerly anticipated severence check (sigh… menopausal mom/writer seeking employment!), but no! It was a lone “Because I Said So” DVD in a huge padded envelope. No confetti exploding from the envelope, nor even an accompanying note, but the optimist in me says that maybe — just maybe — I won perhaps third place? I’ve scoured your website for some indication about winners, but can’t find anything.

So…. did I? Did I win big? Or small? My husband (the realist) doesn’t want me to get my hopes up and says that they probably sent everyone a DVD.

I think self-proclaimed realists are actually pessimists in disguise. Don’t you?

When I was a little wee-one (as my mother called me) I adored pumpkin pie. It was rich and creamy and filled my satisfaction. And as the only girl of the family my mother treated me with a tad bit more respect than my 2 other brothers. And because of this respect I got what I wanted. So I would ask for a pumpkin pie and “mommy dearest” would of course make it! Well by now i was 7 my mom had out baked herself. So one night we invited our friends from armenia to come over for dinner. Now they were completely forign to our costums and food. And that evening my mother had made a pumpkin pie. Well I’m not exactly sure what happened but i think my mother didn’t put in enough arm into the wisking of the eggs. So the father of out forign family had the first slice of pie. Well did he get the short end of the straw!!! He got the piece where an egg yolk was raw and whole! He didn’t know this was not right. So he rapidly shoved it down but did not swallow. His stomach didn’t let him swallow without dry heaving! So it slushed out of his mouth. My family and i were soooooooo embarrassed and sickened as you can imagine. And from this day i absoulutly HATE pumpkin pie!

I love my mom!
My mom has done so much for my family, she need to know how special she really is.My 15 yr. old son has battled cancer for 2 yrs. And my mother did everything in her power to help us keep our head up during this time , she has missed alot of work to stay with us at the hospital, she has went thru all of the pain and suffering with us, and help us keep our faith. My son passed away last year on his fathers birthday April 1st, and we are just lost without him. He is still the love of our lives, my son was my mother and my best friend, and we dont know what to do without him. My mom still worries about my husband and myself, and I would like to show her how greatful we are to have her.

Dear Regis & Kelly ,
My name is Tommy Otis and I am 51 years old and living in Los Angeles for the past 28 years. I am originally from Baldwin, Long Island. I have been blessed to have both parents still living, mom 82 and dad 83. They were married on June 21st, 1951. I originally moved to Los Angeles to find fame and fortune in the Hot Rod and Custom Car World as I am an automotive pinstriper and custom painter. I have always been to say the least a handful to my mother and father as a young kid and teenager, and some what as a daddy’s boy. Since I’ve been three-thousand miles away for the last 28 years and only get to see them once a year if I’m lucky. I would like to do something really nice for my mom to show her how much I love her on her special day. So what my thoughts were is to ask you in a show of respect and devotion to motherhood to honor my mom, Margaret Otis. My mom is in frail health and my dad says shes really not up to doing any extra curricular activities, but since I never listened to my mom and dad anyways, and always did what I wanted,my Mother’s Day wish is to honor my mother at her favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant “O Solo Mio” in Saint James, Long Island. I would also like to have either the famous Al Martino or the great Jerry Veil to sing his famous tune “Momma”. I would also ask that some tables are made available for my close friends like Goldy Calevetta and the Domatta brothers out of Staten Island. That also share the same views and affections for their owns mothers who have passed on. And in any event whether you pick me or not I want to wish the both of you a Happy Mother’s Day.
Love and Respect,
Tommy Otis 1-818-585-3943

We had a big family of 9 when I was little. My poor Mom had me and my six brothers. My grandpap that was that had Alzhiermers disease lived with us too. She had to be terribly tired most days as those boys were wild. They were like a tornando tearing up the house and eating everything in sight. There was no Nanny 911 then. But anyway she tried to have me a sister only to surprise me with another brother instead. I’m the second oldest so after awhile they were like my own children. I love them a lot but my Mom I really can’t express how much I love her for every reason under the sun. She is that special sister, friend and Mom I cherish everyday of my life. The good Lord picked her from the heavenly sky just for me because she fits perfectly into my heart. I’m truly blessed.

I will always be grateful to my mother for many things. The most beautiful gift my mother has ever given to me, besides the precious gift of life, is the gift of forgiveness. I am a grown woman now with four children of my own. However, when I was a teenager, I was a very self-centered girl who never thought of other people’s feelings.
One morning, I was getting ready for school and became outraged when I found out that one of my siblings had finished off my favorite cereal. I was about sixteen years old and I threw a huge tantrum, throwing things and slamming cupboards.
Instead of yelling at me, (which I deserved) she grabbed her purse to go to the store to buy me my cereal. Just as my mom pulled out of the driveway, a large van happened to be passing by. My mom did not see the vehicle, and backed right into it.
My mother received injuries to her neck and to her back. To this very day my sweet mother suffers chronic pain triggered by that accident. I have a hard time forgiving myself for being the cause of my mother’s injuries, which occurred all because I wanted my favorite cereal. My mom has forgiven me, and I know that. I love her with all of my heart, and I hope through her example I can one day forgive myself. I just wish I could take away all of the pain, too.

My Daughter the SuperMom

On April 8th 2008, it was my daughter’s b’day! At 3:00 AM in morning her house was struck by the fire! It was a nine alarm fire.
As soon as her husband and her heard the noise she got up. Fire was already started taking over the house. She is mother of two,
Jasmine 7 and Ryan 6. Most amazing kids! Children were sound a sleep. She seized two children and rushed them downstairs and
got them out of the house safely. Now trying to adjust to the life from perfect to not having a home for next six months. Counting her blessings and
keeping her family together. She is soccer Mom and does lots of volunteer work for the school too. I wish you the very best, strength, courage and hope.
I wish I could take my magic wand and make all your tears go away. I admire your Sacrifices, devotion, love and tears.

My beloved daughter, you are wonderful mother and wife! I am darn proud to have you as my daughter! Happy Mother’s day sweet heart!

Not quite three months ago, Feb. 15, 2008, our family was in a terrible car wreck in Colorado. God took our 45 year old father to be with Him. Also, He took our 18 year old sister, Jenna, and our 13 year old brother, Jace. Alyssa and Avery (twins and the writers of this letter) and our mother lived. Alyssa suffered from 4 broken ribs, lacerated spleen, broken femur, broken pelvis, and a broken back (which could have easily resulted in becoming paralyzed.) Alyssa was in the I.C.U for a week. Avery cut up her head terribly. The doctor stated it was the worst case of de-gloving he had ever seen in which the pieces were all there. By God’s grace there was no brain damage. She crushed her pelvis in 5 or 6 places and her hand was cut really bad. If it was cut one millimeter more the tendons would be cut and Avery wouldn’t be able to move her hand. She has 70 staples and 50 stitches. Our mother was flung from the car and escaped with only a broken back and clavicle, and a bad concussions. We are getting around with crutches and wheelchair. This is going to be a terribly hard mothers day for our mom because of the loss we are still grieving. Since we still can’t get around well, my mother is diligent in helping. Through the pain she is suffering, our mother sees our pain and does her best to comfort us selflessly. She still holds tight to God’s unfailing graciousness and encourages us to do the same. She is stressed out trying to close our fathers business, dealing with the attorney, doing the housework, trying to get our house on the market, fixing the financial status, working out insurance, helping us, and trying to still cope with the grief of her husband and loved kids. We can not replace the family we have lost but we would love to ease the pain for my mother this mothers day and for the rest of the year with fresh flowers to always remind us of the love that was and is between our family.

My Mom and I were each diagnosed with cancer. Mom had breast cancer and I colon cancer. We met everyday at the hospital for our radiation treatments. We are survivors. While Mom and I were going through our chemo treatments my sisters house caught fire and burned to the ground. Mom was there between her treatments to help her. When my brother hit a tree with his car he was in a coma for months. He had years of therapy at home having to be taught everything all over again. Mom was there 27/7 to help with his rehab and recovery. My father had several accidents all involving a head injury. One time he was hit by a car crossing the street. Another time he was hit by a train and carried down the tracks. His last injury was when he fell through a ceiling landing on his head on concrete. Dad wasn’t discovered for three hours. Mom was there 24/7 with total support and rehab these accidents involved months and years of rehab and support. Mom taught me what it means to have the hope, faith and courage to survive despite life’s challenges. I also learned to appreciate my life and everything I have. She always told me that surviving means being able to appreciate all you have and to life you life to the fullest. My Mom is more then my Mom she is my hero, my idol, my friend.

Hey(:
My name is Stephanie and my mother’s name is Denise. Wow, what to say about my mother? She’s just incredible and the strongest woman i know. Recently in 2005 she had surgery for a blocking in her legs, she couldn’t even walk around the house, it would literally take her 30mintues to walk from her bedroom just to use the bathroom that was only a few feet away. She’s been a dietbetic for 16 year’s now, and right now she is trying to get disability. They have been trying to get her on disability for close to 3 year’s now, and they basically keep denying her because she is only 49, and think she can’t have all these problems at this age. She just had to go to court with a social security doctor, and they have 100 days to make a judgment, and she was lawyer and she still hasn’t received it. She can’t afford her medicine’s that she needs, sometimes she goes 3months without blood thinner, cause it’s over 300 a month on top on all her other meds. Right now we are living with my brother, since she can’t work. My mom has hit hard time’s, and she basically just giving up. And this mother’s day i just wanna see her smile, and have alittle hope.
Thanks for reading.

MY LABOR WAS BEING INDUCED. MY DAD WAS ON THE ROAD(TRUCK DRIVER) THE FATHER WAS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. MY MOM SAT BY MYSIDE FROM THE MINUTE THEY INDUCED ME TO THE SECOND SHE HELD HIM THE FIRST TIME. MY SON WAS BORN C-SECTION. SHE HELD MY HAND AS THEY DELIVERED HIM. I WOULD NOT TRADE THEM HOURS FOR ANYTHING. I GET MAD AT BOTH OF THEM BUT IF I DIDN’T HAVE MY MOM I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL ALONE. I WAS SCARED NOT ONLY WONDERING HOW WOULD I SUPPORT THIS PERSON. ALSO MY BODY WAS GOING THROUGH THINGS. MY MOM HELPED ME UNDERSTAND IT WOULD BE OK.
I AM GLAD I HAD THAT EXPERIENCE TO SHARE WITH HER.

Dear Mother Central:

On February 19, 2009, my sister Lisa went out for dinner with her friend when she was struck with a sudden headache. Her friend asked her if she would make it home on her own. Lisa said that she would be fine and started to drive away from the restaurant. However, she did not make it out of the parking lot. She stopped at the exit, climbed out of her truck, knocked on the window of the car behind her, asked the driver to call 9ll and then collapsed. Luckily, she was rushed to a nearby hospital within minutes. Unfortunately, she had suffered a brain aneurysm. She had an excellent surgeon who performed surgery to repair the aneurysm. It seemed that her body was starting to heal. However, two weeks after the aneurysm, she suffered a massive stroke, due to complications from the aneurysm. As a result of the stroke, the right side of her brain was damaged.

For several weeks, Lisa was in a coma. Our Mom was always at her side, attentive and loving. She held Lisa’s hand. She stroked her cheek. She brushed her hair. She painted her fingernails and toenails. She read her stories. She prayed with her. There were many days where we did not know if Lisa would make it through. However, Mom stayed strong. She did not break down. She knew she had to be strong for her daughter. Even when things looked bleak, Mom never gave up hope. She prayed and prayed and prayed some more. Even when others were negative, she remained positive. She kept her faith.

Over the past eight weeks since my sister’s accident, bit by bit, she is coming back to us. First she opened her eyes a slit. Then she opened them for a few minutes. She started squeezing our hands. She started responding to commands. Then, after six long weeks, Lisa spoke. What a miracle! On the same day she started eating solid food. A few days later she read words. After seven and a half weeks, she wrote words. She remembers everyone’s name, even the names of her horses. Now she is working on regaining motion in her left arm and both legs. What a miracle!

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa was sitting in her wheelchair by the hospital room window. Mom had just arrived. Mom held Lisa’s hand and Lisa looked up into Mom’s eyes. Lisa had a look of complete adoration in her eyes. I’ll never forget that moment. Yes, bit by bit, Lisa is coming back to us. Thank you, God, for your healing touch and thank you, Mom, for your unconditional love!

Sincerely,
Linda Jonasson

When I was 17 years old I was pragnant with my first child, my dad was out of town for a buisness trip so I was sleeping in my mom and dad’s bedroom. I happened to be sick at the time when I woke up coughing and my water broke in the bathroom around 11:30p.m. in the evening. I went into my mothers room woke her up and said my water broke she shot up out of bed and said call your dad tell him to get on the next plan home, so i did i called him. Then my mom drove me to the hospital, stayed by my bedside threw the laboring prosess. she held my hand told me everything is going to be ok. Then at one point we thought i was going to have to go in for a c-section because me and my sons hearts were crashing, but we recovered. Hours later it came time to push and my mom stayed in the room held up one of my legs and watched her grandson be born. I love you mom thanks for staying by my side threw it all.

unconditional love is a love that goes beyond just monatery things. giving. Giving of one self as my mother did was precious, because she only wanted the best for me. Being a young mother herself and raising me the best way she could. She instilled in me a quailty of life that I am proud of. My mom sacrficed her life so that I could excell. I too was a young mother and my mom always told me never give up on your dreams. She said sometimes we have stumbling blocks but do not let detere you from persuing your dreams. I didn’t, my mama helped me raise my son. She allowed me to create a better life for us. i am so proud that she thought enough of us so that we would have a better life. i did it I graduated from college and you know what so did she. She made a way out of no way and in the mistd of our storms we both excelled. i am so happy to have a mom that helped me and my son. i wish all mothers was like my mama because she is love and she deserves evrerything and all things because she gave everything and all things. Mama I love you so very much thatk you thank you thank you.

(this has my actual website!) My name is Samantha. I am 11 years old. As a little kid, my mom was always there for me and she still is. One time, when I was four, I went into the just-mopped kitchen and slid and banged my forehead on the sink cabnets. I started crying and my mom ran to the kitchen “Oh My God…oh my god” she said. My dad, watching sports, didn’t even do anything until my mom said to get me a towel to absorb all the blood gushing out of my eyebrow. Of course, my dad finally got a towel and then another, the blood wouldn’t stop. I just kept crying. Eventually, they put me in the car and drove me to the hospital. I remember walking down this strange hallway and into this strange room. I could barely see with the towel and all. They laid me on a table, but I wouldn’t stop kicking and screaming. My mom was right next to me, telling me it was going to be alright. She said just hold still but of course, I didn’t. The doctor straped me into something and gave me twelve stiches. I can still remember trying to open my eyes in spite of a blinding light above me seeing my mom, she was there, and knowing that it would be ok. Nowadays, I still look up to my mom even though I am taller than her, for all the times she cared, not just for me, but for kids in a store crying saying they don’t know where their parents went. Without my mom, I wouldn’t be me.

I have tried to model many aspects of my life after my mother. My mother, who I seem to have failed to thank for doing such a wonderful job raising me into the person I have become, deserves more than just a thank you. My mother works with CASA, a program that helps children who have been abused and neglected find a voice in court and have a better life. This job, while emotionally taxing on my mother, has changed the lives of so many children for the better. My mother has helped place many innocent children into loving, wonderful homes after horrendous experiences elsewhere. This non-profit agency job takes up much of my mother’s time, but she does it because she hopes to make a difference in the lives of children who deserve better, happier lives. Along with a job that has benefited so many, my mother also finds the time to volunteer to help others in her busy schedule. My mother is a mentor for local children at a low income area school. She gives these children reassurance, helps them with their homework, which many of them would not receive from their home, and most importantly gives them her valuable time. My mother does not drive a fancy car, live in a fabulous house, or own luxurious items, but to me she is rich beyond my wildest dreams. I hope to one day be as rich as her and spread my love to others. Thanks mom, for everything!

I greet you,
At 47 I’m still being blessed with having my Mama, Barbara Moulton, in my life. She is such an amazing being. All of 4′, alittle over a hundred pounds, she is our monarch of our family. It would certainly be an honor to win this for her.
She inspires all those who are around her to keep an open mind,to be creative, to learn,and to know life is full adventures, no matter the age.
She is there with constant incouragement, example: I’m about to graduate college at my age(along with my 18 yr. old son, her inspired Grandson, Kyle)because of her support.
I feel honored & graced having her to role model after.She’s a teacher of gardening, painting, cooking and one of funniest people I know. I, like her, and my children, like me, have a wide range of musical loves,an example of hers: old Rolling Stones, Johnny Mathis, Ray Stevens, to Jimmy Buffet, the Moody Blues and great jazz concerts in the park!
She’s a fantastic friend, Gramma, sister, wife, Great Gramma, Aunt, but on top of it all …a Goddess Blessed Earth Mama!
Even if I don’t get published, thanks for the opportunity to share her with all of you.

My Mom

Everything that a child could ask for growing up and even now that I am grown, my mom was a woman very gentle, but yet she was strong. When I needed a whipping, even-though I cried, I knew it would be much harder if I lied. I imagine being a single parent was double hard for her, providing the food, clothing and shelter all alone. She never complained, but shared everything until it was gone. I imagine her praying every night for me to be safe. I imagine her hoping that the morals that she instilled in me would make a great woman to be. For without GOD, this could not be. I say thank you mom for the struggles that you so endured to raise me. When I cried, you cried. When I was in pain, you hurt. When I needed comfort, you were my comforter. You will always have my respect, and you will always be the mom that I would select. I love you for being the mom that every child

For those who doesn’t know, Pamela Thrift is not my biological mother, but I love her unconditionally. She is a mother of 3, and though they might not realize it, she is perfect in every way. She is the most sincere and loving person I know. Shes helped from family to friends and even strangers. Actually thats how we meant. I needed help, and there she was, like an guardian angel. I am a single mother of 4 children with the absolute worst luck in love and life. She’s done more then what I can write, but I wiill share some of my thoughts of her with everyone so you can understand how much I really appreciate this beautiful, warm hearted woman. When I was carrying my last daughter, I was not only single, but broke. She not only took care of me while I was sick as a dog pregnant, she found a way to take care of my children. Take them to church every sunday to pray for everybody but herself. Her husband mistreats her, her kids don’t understand, nor appreciates her, and people she helps take advantage of her. And though I know she realizes this, she continues doing everything within her power to help with no questions asked and no expectations for something in return. When I was in labor with my last daughter Juliann she was right there by my side when noone else was. I had postpardum depression and almost committed suicide like a selfish idiot. She made me realize that once youve become a mother , its not longer about you or anybody else for that matter. She truely gives the definition of a perfect woman. Mother, lover, and friend. I love you

My name is Bud. My mother went home to be with the Lord. My wife has been a wonderful mother to our four children. My wife’s name is Dotti. My wife is a very strong woman, we met when she was only 10 years old and I was 12 years old. We started dating when we got old enough to date. I married this wonderful woman who bared me four blessings. We be married 24 years but grew up together so we knew each other all our childhood lives. One day out the blue my wife shared with me something that hapen when she was 6 years old. She said it happen on December 24,1963. I wouldn’t ever imagine this happing in my wife’s home. My wife was being traumatize and abused sexually,mentally,physically and emotionally and have been bullied. When she shared her story with me my mouth dropped. My heart felt her pain. She has scars on her body of the remerbrance of her childhood abuse. Now I know why she was so protective over our 4 children. My wife is a mother she is warm and gentle, always put myself and our children first. For all these years she carried a heavy load upon her shoulders but because of her faith she placed her trust in our Saviour. She does live with memory lapse from a blow to her head when she was 7 years old and lives with PTSD but her heart is so big. One day our youngest daughter was raped, her name is Lisa. Lisa was 14 years old and the man was in his late 20. My wife and I was devasted. My wife said, “Oh Lord; no this is not gone to happen, I refuse to allow my children to go through what I had to go through. Together we went to court and it was a long progress. Our dauhter made a vow to Jesus, to stay pure until marriage. My wife quit her job to stay home with our children it was hard but by the grace of Gd we made it through. It was a long road recovery for our daughter. I had to work so my wife stayd up long hours through the night to help our daughter get through this trauma. I love my wife dearly. Thank God she is the mother of our children. For Mother’s Day, if there was way I would give my wife one full day at a spa and a whole new makeover. Since I can’t I give y wife my heart. She is the Love our family’s life. Regardless of the many of being abuse she would go an extra mile fo a friend and to help someone in need.

My life was never ment to be this perfect. I was suppose to be that troubled girl with no guidance,no morals, or sense of right and wrong. My biological mother was an addict, a thief, and didn’t care about anyone but herself. She wanted what she wanted when she wanted it and wasn’t going to let anyone get in the way of that…so raising a little girl wasn’t part of the plan. So one night she took me to a trailer park in Riverside and left me there. My dad called the cops and they searched and searched for me until I was located, my mother strung out by my side. My dad raised me until I was 3 years old, I can’t say he was the best Dad but he tried.
One day he brought a woman home to meet me, she was beautiful and her smile was radiant before you knew it I was 6 years old and we moved in to a big white house in Mehoopany, her family, and ours a meshed unit of unconditional love. You’d never know I wasn’t her’s people would say. We looked alike, we sounded alike, and made the same silly faces. Well of course, my mom would say, she is my daughter? As if people saying this was a silly thing to do, and it was in a way, in all actuality I had never thought of her any other way. Yes, she was indeed my mother, and I knew this would never change.
Life was perfect in everyway until Bonnie, my biological mother, started to come around wanting to take me with her. My Mom had saved me from the “drug and abuse” lifestyle Bonnie led and like a Lion protects her cubs she was going to protect me. Bonnie tried fighting my mom in court and again and again my mom one. She harassed her, spread lies about her, was mean and nasty any chance she got, but my mother would not back down.
When I was about 11 my mom and dad realized they just weren’t right for each other. My Dad had alot of issues he needed to work out and the children always came first to my mom, so they seperated. You would think that I would go with my Dad right? Wrong. I loved my mom and my brother’s and sister’s. I had never been treated any differently. I had always been loved equally and my mom always knew what was best. She wanted the very best life for me as a growing young woman now and she knew that that was with her.
I am now 18 years old and heading to college in the fall. I had straight A’s all through school and a childhood I will never forget. I go to my mom everyday for advice, guidance, or sometimes just to talk I can never get enough of her wisdom or that big beautiful smile. I could never thank her enough for what she’s done for me, the sacraffice’s she made, or the hardships she went through. And although she may never think twice about it, I am reminded of it everytime I look at her. My mom isn’t just special, that’s such a small word for such an amazing woman. My mom is my light in the darkness, my hero without a cape. She’s my bestfriend and I love her more than anything in this world.

About 4 years ago, I met my current boyfriend and was lucky enough to have stayed with him and his family this long. Carol who I now consider my own mother, is the rock in my life that I have been missing from childhood thru adulthood. This incredible woman took both me and my son in along with her own son when we lost our house in foreclosure. She is the only “grammy” my son knows. She host every birthday party, not just for kids but also for adults, every baby shower, every Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. She holds all four of her sisters together along with her mother whom she took over most of the payment on thier house so they could continue to live there as they age. She took my son to get his pictures done for the very first time when he was four for my birthday only because she knew he had never had them done before and made me cry with tears of happiness. I now have given her her a second grandchild and that beautiful woman held my hand the entire way through my pregnancy and even the birth. She treats me and my son as if we belong. I could never have asked for a more wonderful human being in my life than Carol Johnson. She gives and gives and gives and never expects anything in return. One day I hope to give her back even a small piece of what she has given me which is true sense of having a mom in my life!

Honestly, I don’t have just one particular story that shows how special, heroic and/or sweet my mother is because everyday since the day I was born, shes been all of these things and more. She is the strongest women I have ever meet and I’m not just saying that because shes my mother. Its hard for me to think about how tough it must be being a single mother of three children. Her hard work and devotion to putting us first makes me proud to have a mom that cares so much for me. I honestly don’t think I could ever show her the appreciation she deserves. Seeing her mentally and physically exhausted from working so hard then coming home and taking care of us makes me realize how grateful I am to have someone like her in my life. I don’t know what I would do without her. Shes taught me strength and has shown me that I can do anything I set my mind to. Thinking about all the stuff my mom has gone through is truly unbelievable but she fights through everything, for us, her children. Being a mother in general makes you special, she is my hero no doubt about that and although my life is no where near perfect, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m sure there are a lot of single mothers out there and daughters who are writing similar things, but if you knew my mom you could see how strong she is too. I thank god for blessing me with such a caring person because what more could you ask for then unconditional love. Mom, you are my hero for giving me someone to look up to and you are special, for showing me how a mother is suppose to be. Everyday with you is a new mother-to-daughter story in my book.

The best times with my mom are road trips, When we are in the car and traveling, with no one else around. Talking about everything under the sun. Our feelings, likes dislikes, what we have wished for, what we thougth our life would be like and what it turned out to be. Just sharing thoughts having quality time together. Moms are the best.

Just want to find a channel to share this message to everyone and how grateful that I am to my mum :)

I remember mum used to made us healthy breakfast everyday, the milk I forced myself to gulp every morning, the bread for school break I thought it was bored and have attempt to throw it away but failed and ended up getting caught and canned hardly! Nevertheless I could remember weekend meals are all very interesting! Mum has that superb talent of inventing her own special recipes and it tasted really yummy!

I remember mum always managed to get us nice dresses and shoes to go with and get us well presented at all occasions

I remember the times when I needed so badly someone to just be there for me, mum is there and she had always been, until today

I remember we are not used to worry about financial as the way I do now because mum and dad provided everything I need to have

Mum has aged gradually while I have grown older. Her dedication to the family is one of the best efforts I am not able to speak about still. There are no words that I could use to describe or explain to people the work that she has done for all of us at home…

She had done it all, her scarification for all of us is immeasurable in our everyday life, until today without fail. I have not found the best way to speak about the great things my mum has done, because to me… that can only be shown from her action…

I would like to wish her Happy Mummy’s Day and assured her that we have always loved her, and that will means forever and ever…

To all mummy out there, Happy Mummy’s Day to all of you too!

My mom is my best friend. I have twin siblings. They are boy and a girl. I am the oldest. I remember the first day I decided to try out for the JV Cheerleading squad and my mom stated that it might be hard to get the money for a deposit, but she will find a way and just worry about the routines and let her worry about everything else. I was so worried to not have made the squad that day and this was the weekend I was suppose to be with my dad. My mom took off work, stayed with me until it was over and the new squad was revealed. We celebrated all week and my mom was so proud of me for making it. She gave me all the encouragement for the whole week and helped me practice. She did this even when she was tired and had to go pick up my siblings from their activities. She has been giving me equal time even though there are three of us. No matter what we need she will find a way to get it for us.

There is this one special woman in the world she taught me how to talk, she talk me how to walk, and she taught me how to be me. I followed in her footsteps because i wanted to be like her, she was my roll-modle. She made me who I am today a thirdteen year old, that is heathly because you helped me when i needed you, when I had to go to sick kids. I am the girl that everyone knows as the good girl because this woman taught me how to be one. In my mind she is the most beautiful woman in the world. I love this woman more then anything in the whole world, I could not have a better person then her. She makes the house clean,, and cleans my laundry because I am to lazy, but when she needs my help I will always be right there. The house is nice, clean, and it smells good today because of her. She is a very stong woman, and she likes to do things on her own. You would never see one tear in her eye because she doesn’t cry, and you know why she doesn’t cry: it is because she is a very strong woman. Do you know what her name is. Her name is mommy, and that will be her name until the day that I DIE! I LOVE YOU MOMMY/ MOM( best woman in the world )!

I swear, my Mother in Law is the coolest. She’s totally my best friend.
If
I’m stressed out about something, I can just call her, and she’ll be
like,
“Hey, what’s up?” and she’ll just sit and really listen to me.
When
I’m with my mom, I can totally just be myself. I can tell heranything
and she’ll totally understand. It’s like we have this bond like a Real
Mother and Daughter should have.I can’t even begin to tell you how
important my Mother in law has been throughout
my life being Married
to her son For 19 years ,and She as seen all 7 of her Grandchildren
Being Born,she Deserves a Mother of the Year Reward Every Year I Love

My mom is my best friend. She has raised me by herself and has picked the best step-dad in the world. When I was 10 I was diagnosed with renal failure. My mom was at all my appointments and in the end gave me one of her kidneys. She has always been there for me and I will always have a “piece” of her with me forever. My mom has always put others first and herself last, she needs to be a queen for the day, she’s the best!!!!
