| my mom | By kathryn | | My mom is the best mom ever.She does everything to help me.Every day she cooks me breakfast,lunch and supper and also cooks for the rest of the family.She gets up at six o'clock in the morning and works full time five days a week.She helps me with my homework all the time.she is like a raindrop,precious and beautiful.She tought me how to read,how to do things and what was right and wrong.Whithout this amazing mother I wouldn't be here! | | OUR MOM | By kathryn+Nick | | We think our mom is special because she does eveything.She works full time,she cooks break- fast,lunch and supper every day even if she is sick.She helps us with our homework and reads us stories every night.She takes us places even if she doesn't want to go.She buys us lots of new things that we are trully thankful for.Every day she does something to make our lifes better.Without her we wouldn't be here! | | My friend Kim | By Aaron Livingstone | I am writing on behalf of Kim's son, Cohen, who doesn't have the best sentence structure or grammar, being 17 months old. But if he could, he'd tell you how amazing his mother is. She is 22, and raises Cohen on her own after finding out his father was involved in things she didn’t want her son to be a part of. Now she spends every day of her life loving and caring for her son, and instilling in him the values that make her such an amazing person, and such an inspiring mother. I don't know how many times she has headed to the mall to buy herself clothes for a special occasion, only to return with nothing but clothes and toys for Cohen. I used to try and convince her to treat herself once in a while, that she deserved it, but she has explained to me that these things are a treat, her son’s happiness is her own. At other times, when money is more scarce, Kim will go to her parent's parking garage and return the bottles she finds in the recycling; whatever it takes to give her son a chance for a normal and loving childhood. Not once, not ever, have I heard an expression of regret of the choices she has made, or impatience at the fact that she has had to put her dreams and aspirations on hold while she devotes all her time and all her self to her son.
I didn't quite know what motherhood was until I met Kim. I had forgotten that that kind of love and courage could exist in an everyday setting. It has turned this ordinary girl into an extraordinary force. To look at Kimberly and Cohen together is to stare love in the face. It's daunting sometimes.
| | MY MOM | By kathryn+ | | I think my mom is special | | To My Mother | By Kayleigha | Once I was sad and lonely,
I walked an empty road,
Then you appeared before me,
And through rain clouds the sun showed.
The raindrops, you cleared away,
You let in all the sun,
And sent me once more out to play,
Again with everyone.
When I wanted to hide,
And never go back out,
In you did I confide,
But you did not let me pout.
To others did you help me reach,
And never shied away,
You are the wave on sunny beach,
Each and every day.
For when I feel ignored and lost,
You rise up on the shore,
And clear the junk that others left,
Until there is no more.
I clung to you when I was sad,
And had not the strength to fight,
I yelled at you when I was mad,
Yet you held me tight.
I know you'll always be there,
And forever I'll love you.
For showing that you care,
And for being ever true.
| | I Love Her | By Bryce | | My mom is so awesome. Every morning she wakes up and helps me get ready for school. Everyday she tells me she loves me which always makes me happy. Any questions I ask her, she will always have an answer to. She is very, very funny and and is really laid back. The little things she does for me totally changes my life, from being supportive to cooking me supper. I couldnt live without her. | | A Priceless Mom | By Alexandria Simmsgeiger | A Priceless Mom
How can I describe all of the wonderful things about my mom in one letter? I simply cannot. She is an amazing, accomplished woman whom God has blessed greatly. There is not enough in this world to recognize all the qualities she holds. Even "queen" doesn’t quite sum it up. She is more than a queen; she is my mom.
All my life my mom has been making constant sacrifices to show her love for me. As a kid, I never realized or recognized it; I took it for granted but only because it was necessary for me to grow up into a healthy human being. My mom realized that her unconditional love was absolutely necessary to create a healthy family. Without her love and sacrifices I do not know where we would be today.
From diapers to tantrums; from disciplining to "Are we there yet?" she has stood by my side through the thick and thin. Her love started out strong and has continued through my growing years. It has never failed or even taken a break. When I was little, she would put me in every single type of unique class that she could think of. She put me in horseback riding, teakwondo, art lessons, ballet, voice lessons, diving, swimming, surfing lessons, dance, cheer and a variety of sports just so that I could be introduced to different aspects of the world in order to help to secure my future. Well, it paid off for she helped me to find and nurture my passion: the stage and acting. Without her help, I would probably be one of the common teenagers of today who go home everyday after school not knowing what they are going to do with their lives. I can’t express enough my gratitude for her drive.
Her energy and ambition throughout the day with all of its challenges astounds me. She can run a business (while working alongside her husband), deal with my sister’s and my adolescent fits, chauffeur us to every city in Orange County, get all of the chores and errands run, call numerous people on her cell phone during all of this, and cook all of the meals. Her persistence never ends. I do not know many women who can do all of this alone. Just the fact that she helps my dad run their business alongside being a housewife is mind-boggling. And, although I thought I hated her at the time, I now appreciate her strict rules and disciplinary actions that she did in order to help me grow. I admit, I didn’t help to give her peace in her life and every once in a while it occurs again, but now that I look back on it I see only her love that was shown through it all. I have caused her pain and in return she has shown me love and care. How can I ever repay her for that? That is why there is nothing in this world that can express how wonderful my mother is.
You say what has my mother done to deserve queen for a day? Well she deserves more than queen for a day. She deserves the world, but first and foremost, the love that I hope one day I can equate to the love she showed me. I am still very young, and I know that I won’t agree with what I am saying right now during one of my fits, but in the end the truth will shine. My mother is better than a queen, for, unlike a queen, she has shown an everlasting abundance of love. She will always be the most beautiful, young, spirited, gifted, caring, amazing, generous, and loving queen to me. I know I will never be able to show how thankful I am to her for all that she has done for me. All I can say is that from the bottom of my heart: Mom, I love you.

She's never done anything for herself, she thinks of others first everyday. i love my mom and she's always been there for me and i hope to always be there for her. | | Living Faith | By Tracy Swager | | My mother lives an example of a faithful life for me. She showed me faith in action as I grew up. Now that I have my own children, I know how hard that is! Thanks Mom! | | Mom of love | By Katherine | | My mother is special to many people. She is special not just because she has given birth to 10 children, but because of her kind heart. She has room in her heart to love her husband, friends, and all of her family. My mother demonstrates a kind heart and loving attitude each day, through the joys of having children to the challenges of disease. She is forgiving, compassionate and humble in all that she does. As the 2nd oldest of her 10 kids, I have seen it. She realizes that meterialistic gifts will not last for long, but memories and love endure forever. | | You’ll always be there for me | By Mrs. Mala Miranda | Dear Mom,
I know you’ll always be there for me.
You’re there to share my triumphs,
As well as my traumas and sorrows,
And also my victories and joys.
You’re there with a smile when I need to be cheered,
With a strong shoulder when I need some comfort,
And with a loving hand when I need your help.
You give with your entire mind, body & soul,
With all the love you have to share,
And you're always there, whenever & wherever I may need you.
Thank you for being my Mom.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!
With lots of love from Mala | | I Appreciate All She Has Done For Me | By Sarah | | My mommy is one of a kind. Her name is Charlene. I really appreciate all that she has done for me and my brother. She has spent lots and lots of money on us and not on her self. I try hard to be just like her, kind, loving, caring, and an all around mom. My dream when I’m older is to be just like her. Then my kids will go grow up being respectful to elders and children. I love my mom so much and I would like to give her a gift that will make her happy. I know that even if I make a card for her she will knows that I make it from love. She also knows that it comes from my heart. That is why my mom should deserve this special award. | | My Most Important Person | By Justin Fraser | Hi, my mom is a big role model and wonderful mom and i could not ask for anything more from her. She works to help support our family and is always determined to get things done. She never gives up until what she try's to complete is finished. She always is thinking of our family and doing what is best for all of us. I love her very much and i do not know what I'd do without her. My mom deserves something really special on her day May.14/06. Mom i love you and thank you sooo much for everything.
All my love Justin xoxoxo | | The "OTHER MOTHER THERESA" | By charlene deprophetis | | My Mother is a very special person to alot of people not just to her 4 children. There are so many people she helps every day. She never has an unkind word to say about anyone and will find something good even in everyone. She is always picking up strangers and giving people rides to the grocery store or to drs. appointments. We worry about her but she will not change. I think God truly watches over her and puts her in the path of truly desperate people. She met a blind couple a few years ago who have three children. They had no family support. My Mother is like a Grandmother to the kids and is always helping them out whether it be buying food, taking the kids to activities or just taking them out to have fun. She has 11 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren and each one has felt they were her favorite. She is so generous and kind. I am truly blessed that she taught me to give back in life and don't ever put yourself first. She has a heart of gold and is very loved by many. | | mom's alphabet | By kate | My mom means the world and more to me. She is my best friend; someone I can always laugh with, cry with, and talk to about everything. She is always there for me when I need her, and she is always thrilled to be there. She has sacrificed over fifteen years of her life to teach me how to survive and how to grow up to be a great person like her, and I'm sure she will willingly devote more years to come. She has taught me everything there is to life, but most importantly she has taught me to love. I think it is about time I showed my mom how well I have learned from her. I want my mom to know what an excellent job she has done raising two children, and how grateful I am for everything she has done. However, my mom is not only an amazing mother; she is the greatest person on Earth. She is sensitive over other people’s feelings and thoughts, and always does the right thing. She is the most selfless person you could meet; she never wants anything for herself but wants others to be happy. She has so many personalities which she shows everyday at work, at home, and in public, that there are too many to list. But I can think of at least one important characteristic for every word of the alphabet:
Adored
Beautiful
Compassionate
Dedicated
Exquisite
Forgiving
Graceful
Heavenly
Inspiring
Jolly
Kind
Loving
Majestic
Needed
Optimistic
Passionate
Queen
Rare
Special
True
Unique
Valorous
Warm-hearted
eXtraordinary
Young
Zealous
I am so proud that the wonderful woman with all this is my mom! If I could I would give her the world and everything in it. I don’t know if I could have made it this far without her by my side. We went through some hard times and I could not have got through them without her hearty and comforting presence and her kind word. My mom is special to me and nothing could take her away or replace her. There is only one mom and she deserves this day, the day I say, “Happy Mother’s Day, I love you more than the world!”
| | Mom's adventure | By Hannah | My mom has sacrificed a lot for me and my brother shane!Mom got devorced from my father almost three years ago and married her high school sweet heart.We ended up moving all the way across the country to live, so that his kids (meagan, ansley, micheal) could stay where they grew up. She sacrificed her time,and pacience for the five kids in our family and always lends a helping hand. Its been a two hard years away from family but she has maintained. We have now moved back to our home state and are waiting for things to settle down. My mother never gives up and will probably never stop being the wonderful daring mother she is!
she really deserves this!
| | Sacrifice | By Lee English | The reason I think my mom is special because when she had me and my twin sister and my brother my dad left when we was only 2 years old. She found a man named Cornell and in 2001 they got married and it was beutiful. 4 years later he got caught cheating on her. Now we are living in a 3 bedroom house with our grandparents. She sleeps on the bottom bed because we have bunk beds and she sleeps with my brother on the top bed.
She wish she had a house so we have our own room. But she could not afford it. My mom try to raise us like our big sister Nicole. She go to Church almost every day to pray fora house and a great husband to be there for her amd the kids. She is a life savior to us. SO PLEASE CHOOSE OUR MOM FOR THIS CONTEST!!!! Also she is a nice loving mom so please choose her! | | MY EXTRAORDINARY MOTHER | By Joyce Lacey | My mother is the most extraordinary woman I know! She is not only an outstanding mother, but a true friend! God truly has blessed me. She volunteers hundreds of hours each week to help worthy causes, such a MDA, the MS Society, the American Cancer Society, Union Gospel Mission, the Salvation Army and the American Legion Auxiliary! She is one in a trillion! When I was born, the doctors did not think she would live through the pregnancy. Yet, she was willing to give up her life that I might live. Her strong faith and will to live pulled her through, with help from her mother, my grandmother, who watched over me after I was born.
Later in life, when I became confined to a wheelchair. It was my wonderful mother who inspired me to go on and helped me to realize the importance of living every day to the fullest! She is an inspiration to all those whose lives she touches! I thank God for her every day! | | loving mom | By Christine aclan | | i love mom because she takes care of me ;feed me;buy all my stuff. and she made me have a good life. | | My special Mother | By Tatiana | | My mother is special to me because of the ways she took care of me in hard time and she put me before everyone else when I was born because I was her first child and now I look back at that and think woo she really did care about me. Now I'm 13 and my mother still loves me the way she did when I was born and I'm thankful she was my mother because I have friends who mother's just don't care and I feel really bad for them because I feel everyone deserves a mother and a good mother for that matter. So every mother's day I make sure I get my mom something that she really want because she gave me something I really wanted and that was a mother who cared. So this Mother's day I decided to tell everyone about my wonderful mother. If all the mother's in the world were like her this would be a war free country and no one would be hurt or killed from war because I feel really bad when I hear mother's on t.v. crying because their son or daughter died. Thats why I took the time to tell you about my mother. The End. | | I Love You Forever...Mom. | By Denise Johnny | I never appreciated my mother for the longest time, and well I just wanted nothing to do with her. I was in and out of foster homes most of my life and I always felt very lost.
I was the blacksheep of my family, and never thought my mother ever cared. I was in and out of school until I finally graduated when I was 21 years old, and 5 months pregnant.
My mother was more involved in her alcohol then she was in her own family, and I thought that was unfair.
Little did I know she was just as hurt lost as I was and much more. She was a single mother, who worked very hard to provide us with our food and clothing. She even went to school out of town to get educated to get a better job to support us with everything possible.
My mother is special because she is everything she is the women who gave me life, and so much more. When I think that I have no respect for her and what we could have had is over that is just not true.
She is there for me now when I need her the most, she is now a grandmother to my son and shows us in her own way that she loves and cares for us both.
Now, as a single mother I see how through her eyes the hardships and how my focus can run off track just the same.
When I decided to leave my home town to begin a new life with my son, my mom was there. She encouraged and helped me fundraise to make enough travelling money and food money to get to where I am now.
I finally accomplished part of my dream and there she is once again; she going to be there for me. I was so pround and cried happy tears and she was by the phone waiting for me.
She listen's to me when I cry and doesn't try to give me advice , but tells me she loves me.
She was never able to tell me she loved me before, it was the hardest thing for her to do and now that she does it she makes my day, and she is my whole world. I love her so much.
I asked my mom for forgiveness and she gave it to me willingly and even though it seems like I just forgave her, it feels like I have known her all my life.
My mother is so, so, so special to me, because even when I thought she was never there, she was always there and I just want everyone to know that I Love You Forever, MOM.
| | My Super Mom | By Cheyenne Clare | | My mom (linda) does everything from the garbage to landuary my mom deserves a break. some times she doesnt want to be called mom she wanted to be called "lulu".my brother and dad dont do any thing around here. My sister helps but my mom say dont help me . And my mom says if dad dont smarten up they'll get devorced : ( | | why my mom is special | By Susan Dumary | | My mom is so special to me because not only was she a mother she had to play a father figure also.My dad past away when I was 13 I know it was hard on my mom but she never showed it.She raised me to be the hard working young woman that I am today and she would do anything for her kids and her grandkids thats why my mom is so special to me | | My Unsung Hero | By Donna Cox | | Born in 1934, my mother was the first child of a poor immigrant couple, struggling through the depression years. At the age of nine, mom was run over by a trnsport truck, resulting in stunted growth, brain damage and the loss of use of her left arm. The mental and physical trauma of this event affected her socially and emotionally for the rest of her life. It grew increasingly difficult for her to complete her schooling. She was a beautiful young woman at the age of sixteen, and became a local beauty queen. At nineteen she married and had two daughters. She was left to raise my sister and I alone. She faced many hardships, years of discrimination and unemployability. She became an avid reader and completed an Animal Sciences course through correspondence, as well as some Art courses. She lived alone most of her life in North Vancouver, dedicating her life to raising her daughters the best she could, and helping family with meals and housework. She was determined to prove that she could be independent and do everything for herself despite her disabilities. At the age of 72, she now is facing failing health and constant pain. She continues to hold her head up high,maintaining a positive attitude, keeping active with new found friends in the building complex where she lives in Burnaby. She helps others, by taking them to doctor appointments, and shopping. She has been an inspiration to my sister and I who love her dearly, and see that her life has been one of an unsung hero. She has never received any formal recognition for the good deeds she has done, or the things she has achieved. I believe she deserves a memorable Mother's Day Gift. | | I have the GREATEST MOM!! | By Carol Naus | I know you get a million sob stories this time of year, but I really hope this one will stand out. I am a 33 year old Mother of almost 2, so I know the sacrafices and challenges a mother faces, but my mom has had more than her fair share. She married young and had 3 children with her husband who subsequently left her to raise the 3 kids. With no help and no family around, she moved us all from Ohio to California to make a life for us. Things were very hard and she often had to work 2 jobs. Not leaving her much time to see the children she loved so much. Years passed and we all grew up, and life as it does so often, threw her a curve. She was laid off her job in the Aerospace industry. She had to move in with her oldest daughter. There she satyed for 5 years, helping to raise her beloved grand daughter!! Although this was fulfilling, she needed to get a sense of her self back. So she took a job at Target, got her own place and WHAM! Her oldest sister was stricken with breast cancer, unfortunately it was diagnosed to late and we lost her last year. Again life throws a curve. My mother had a stroke in April of last year. We are so blessed to have her with us still. She went back to work a near miraculous 4 months after the stroke, with some residual weakness, but a strong will to survive!! My mom has shown us that faith, will power, and hard work can get you through anything. I would love for my mother to be recognized for all she has given to me and my 2 sisters all these years!!
Thank You for the opportunity to share my story. | | my mudder | By Jessica Porter | | My mother is special to me because even through the hardest points in my life when no one else was there for me my mom stood by my side....she has loved me stood by me and be my one and only true best friends....Even though i may not of been the best child in the world my mother treated me like i was an angel...i never payed attention to what she went through and the risk she had to take and didnt give much respect!!..my mother deserved an armful of roses every mothers day... but yet she was happy with an armful of weeds...i love my mother to death and she is very special to me !!! | | a Mother like mine... | By Chrissy | The entire world needs a mother like mine...
Because if they did, all the children in our world would be raised...to not fight, to listen well to others, to see a possitive in all the negatives, and to live your life to it's fullest because it's way too short.
My mom has raised 3 children (along with my dad): myself, 21, my sister, 23, and my brother, 16. She has done a fantastic job, as many onlookers tell her. People often ask advice from her on how to raise their children. We respect our mom and she gives us the same respect back!
My sister moved out to Winnipeg 3 years ago, and I moved out maybe 2 months ago (although we both would stay living with her untill we were 40, if at all possible :) ) She always sends my sister little "care packages" via mail, and for me, still makes the same amount at dinner time so she can give me left-overs:) love that home-made cooking!!
My mom is a very self-less person, she would do anything for anyone at anytime! She teaches people lessons without even knowing she's doing so, she is such a strong person and I look up to her greatly! She desirves the wold and I wish I could give it to her!
I would like to wish her a very Happy Mother's Day, and hope I can raise my children as well as she raised her own.
** Chrissy ** | | My Wonderful Mother | By Amber Gain | | Throughout my life my mother has constantly been telling me how much she loves me and how much she enjoys being a mom. I never really understood until recently. I am not 23 years old and married and just had my first child. I now understand how my mother could truly mean all this. My mother really is the best. She is a huge inspiration on me and how I have become the mother I am. | | My Mother is a Walking Miracle | By Dawn Jensen | | In 1982, a mother, Donna Jensen, of four boys and one girl becomes terribly ill with a brain tumor. My mother and father continually fought for my mothers‘ life. They fell into financial hardship, high chances of her dieing, and constant reoccurrence of the tumor. Life for this family was above and beyond the simple life. But Donna just kept on stepping through all these difficult times, because she knew God wasn’t going to take her anytime soon. She went through surgery after surgery for the brain tumor, had radiation, was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease, and then Diabetes Insipidus. My mother was in a constant battle with staying away from the death grip, but Godly miracles were always there to save her. She was a wife, a mother of five, a cleaning lady, a caterer, and took care of all the chores within the household. My mom is still alive today and still continues to trust in the Lord to keep her alive until we do not need her anymore. The Lord promised her this request and is fulfilling His promise. | | My Mom | By Joe.LeFaivre | | My Mother is special because who else would want to work for a living after have three boys my brother Dave was born in 1955,Jim was born in 1960 and I was born in 1967. I can imagine it now your what pregnant oh you now seven years after having their second kid.My Mom had to put up with alot of shit from our Dad because of his alcoholism and abuse and still to raise three well rounded boys.Consider this story. | | Thank God | By sistla parimala | | "MOTHER",the word itself tells that she is god to all human beings as she is the creature of the universe. I always feel that "KISS THE FEET OF YOUR MOTHER SUCCESS WILL KISS YOUR FEET".I know that my mother is the best mother in the world.she is solely responsible for my success.For my Msc. i had to go to Bangalore and i had to stay in the hostel. that was my first experiance in the hostel. environment was new, food was bad and could not stay in the hostel atall. she used to call me thrice a day-she used to wake me up in the morning, call me in the afternoon and enquire whether i had my lunch, and call me at night to wake me up to study late nights.our telephone bills crossed Rs.15000 per month. the result is that i secure university 2nd rank. she is my "everything".what more can i say but one word to god"thank u". | | Only now I realize | By Jamie Grimm | It wasn't until I had children of my own that I realized how selfless, patient, understanding, but mostly underappreciated my mom is. She lost her own mother at the age of 15 and was not blessed with all of the memories that our time together has given and taught me.
Growing up she baby-sat so that she could stay home with us. I always volunteered her to drive for field trips, and she never complained and was always there. I played sports all year round for as long as I can remember, and she was always there to cheer me on, or to cart us from one place to the next. She let us try and participate in anything we were interested in, never putting boundaries on our abilities. Our home was always open for the neighborhood kids who also called her mom, and she took care of them like her own children as well. She always had a positive spin for all of my problems and never judged me for my mistakes, or what I considered my failures. She was there for my first love and heartbreak, always siding with me, my awards and disappointments, now matter how great or small, and my highs and my lows, no matter how invincible I felt or how much I wanted to give up on myself. She never questioned my abilities and always pushed me to be my best. I remember rebelling, being hateful and sneaking out so that she would stay up until all hours of the morning waiting for me to return. After arguing with her that she didn't understand and not realizing how much it killed her inside to sit in the house thinking about the worst possible scenarios, she would always look at me with tear filled eyes and tell me she still loved me. She didn't like me very much at that time, but she would always love me.
Growing up she would do without so that we were well taken care of. If money was tight she would find ways to have the most fun for free. She sacrificed everything when she made my father leave due to an alcohol problem to keep us safe, but was forgiving and stood by him through his recovery. She has never let me down, and I am distraught at thoughts of what I would ever do if I lost her.
I danced with my mother at my wedding because I wouldn't have been where I am without her. The way she makes my children's arms shoot up into the air as they run for her with so much love and life in their eyes, fills my heart with warmth. The way she is still always here when I need to share anything, great or small, good or bad, makes me feel blessed to have her in my life.
I remember shortly after I came home with my first daughter from the hospital, rocking her in her room and staring at her face while she slept. I was overcome with this never before felt love that was so rich and deep it made my heart ache and my throat and chest tighten. At the same time I cried because it was then that I realized how much love my own mother had for me. I called her up and told her how sorry I was for every horrible and mean thing I ever said and did, because I never realized how much I meant to her, or how much what I did had probably hurt her. Many people doubt the love another person shares, but at that moment I realized no one ever had or ever could love me that much. | | My Supporter | By Kerra Li | One of the most important people in my life would definitely be Yanli Cui. She is the one I go to with all of my problems, my best friend, my supporter, my comforter, my confidant, my hero, my mentor, but above all, my mother.. I know it is a cliché to say that she is the best mother in the world, but that is the only phrase fit to describe my mother, the most loving, caring, and selfless person I have ever known. I am proud and honored to call her my mother.
When I was only seven years old, my mother left her homeland of China, and arrived in the unfamiliar land of America, the land of opportunities, leaving behind my father and me, in hopes of setting up a successful future for us. She left the comfort of our home in China, the friends and family she adored, and the job that she loved. Leaving everything she’d ever know, she arrived in America. She did not become instantly successful. While holding down a job as a teacher’s assistant, she enrolled as a full-time student. She studied diligently, and received high marks on all of her courses. At times, her living conditions may have been considered less than desirable, yet she never gave up hope. Because she knew that she had to endure the toil, in order to bring her husband and daughter to the United States. While my mother was in America, my father landed a job in Singapore; he moved there shortly after my mom left for America. Our family of three separated and lived in three different countries for almost two years. While my mother was gone, I laid in my bed, countless sleepless nights, thinking about her, and how I missed having her around. I found comfort in knowing that at nights, we are both staring up at the same moon. Every week, we talked on the telephone, and wrote each other letters I always promised her that I wouldn't cry, because she didn't like crying. She sent pictures and money, and made sure that I was always happy and got everything I needed and wanted. While living without her, I truly began to appreciate her. After 2 years of separation, my family was finally reunited in America.
My mom's whole life revolved around the family that she loved dearly. She has sacrificed so much, and strived to provide our family with all the necessities. She always placed the needs of her family before her own, and never had time to slow down, and reward herself for her hard work and dedication. She gave so much without ever expecting anything in return.
I witnessed my mom struggle with balancing her job as a college teacher and maintaining our household. She strived to provide her students with the best education and adored every one of them. She took pride in her work and cared for every one of her students. I have never heard her complain. After coming home from a long day of work, she cares about every detail I have to share with her about my day. My mother never hesitated to drop everything and rush to my aid when I needed help. She did all this with a beautiful, heart-warming smile on her face.
My mother is a strong, sophisticated, and well-spoken woman. My mom is the person who has had the most impact on my life. The determination and perseverance never ceased to amaze me. My mother is my main supporter, the driving force behind the person that I am today. I will forever be grateful to her, my mom. | | Amazing | By Katrina Collins | | My mom deserves a break because she never rests. When I went off to college, she started working part time to help pay for the expenses. When my son was born she quit her job to take care of my little one as I was not ready for daycare life. She continues to watch him still when he is not in school and at five you must have the energy to keep up. At 64 she is amazing. She never treats herself and puts her family first. I would love to see my mom to be able to relax. | | Every moment is a special moment | By Ali Arlt | | My moms an educator, a business owner, and a wife, but most importantly a mother. My moms a sweet, kindhearted, loving, confident, gentile, encouraging, and a good listener. My moms everything a mom could ever hope to be and more. She lights up my day just by smiling. Every day I see the love and compassion she shows towards my family. I have a huge family and nothing makes her happier than to see everyone together laughing and talking. My moms great at multitasking, she once made Jennie pants for my whole chorus in one night and still had time to help my little brother with his homework. I'm not saying she's perfect, no one's perfect, althought i'd say she's very close. If I had to describe my mom in one word it would be beautiful. She's beautiful in every way shape and form, on the inside and out. She's the morning when you wake up and see snow for the first time. She's the afternoon when you're eating watermelon on the back porch. She's the night when the cool breeze blows your hair back. She's my world, my everything, and every moment is a special moment. I love her and want her to have the best mothers day! | | MY MOMMY IS MY HERO | By CYDNI MILLER | | MY MOM IS THE GREATEST. MY MOM HAS SACRIFICED HER SO MUCH TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED AND MOST OF THE TIME GOES WITHOUT HER NEEDS BECAUSE OF IT. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM. YOU COULD SAY THAT SHE IS MY BEST FRIEND. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES EVERYTHING BUT SHE IS ABLE TO PULL OFF ANYTHING. SHE HAS BEEN PTA PRESIDENT, A GIRL SCOUT TROOP LEADER FOR 5 TROOPS, SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, VOLUNTEER COUNSELOR AND MOM TO 4 KIDS ALL AT THE SAME TIME. SHE DOESN'T HEAR THANK YOU VERY MUCH BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP HER. SHE HAS HELPED FAMILIES FOR CHRISTMAS, HELPED FEED PEOPLE ON THE STREET AND EVEN HAS TIME TO HELP OTHER YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY. SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT BECAUSE OF HER HEALTH, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP HER. MY MOM JUST KEEPS SERVING. THROUGH ALL SHE HAS DONE, SHE HAS TAUGHT ME TO BE A BETTER PERSON. I KNOW THAT WHEN I GROW UP, I WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT ALL BECAUSE MY MOM TELLS ME THAT I CAN DO ANYTHING AS LONG AS I WORK HARD AND LOVE TO SERVE. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHY MY MOM IS A HERO. | | Special Year | By Kimberly Thompson | My MOM is real special. She is a real strong person and has a big heart, actually a heart of gold.
I am real lucky that my mom and my best friend is still with our family today. She came within a week of dying from medical problems. She has 7 children and 13 grandchildren. Mom works 40 hours a week out of the home, but she always finds time for her family. She is there to help when called upon by children or the grandchildren. Yeah, mom gives her opinion alot she never holds anything back. She doesn't care if it makes us mad or not. I learned that I should had listened to her more when I was growing up. Her opinion and suggestions did make sense. My mom has made me a better mom to my sons. I learned alot from her. I listen her now and have learned how fortunate I am to still have my MOM with me for this Mother's Day and hopefully many more.
Love you Mom,

Love Devon | | Miracle Mom | By Christy | | My mother should be a saint! She is the person who anyone can call on and she will be there, no matter when it is. She is the one to count on through thick and thin. She is not only a mom she is a wife and a grandmother too. I am so blessed to have a mother like her. She will bend over backwards just to help someone out. She helps so many other people she has no time to do anything nice for herself. The day in the life of my mom, she gets up gets ready to go mow an average of 6 yards per day and then comes home and has another job to go to from 3-9 and on top of that she is always willing to take time to spend with her two grandchildren. She is wonderful and we all love her very much. | | Mom.... I hope you know I love you! | By Jenna Seguin | Hi my name is Jenna, and my mom is special to me... not because she comforts me when I get hurt or because she tells me I'm a winner even though I lost. No, my mother is special to me because it's her name I cry out for when no ones there and it's her who I want to shear my day with.
Every time i feel scard or alone I cry out the words "I want mommy! I want mommy". My friends usally get tired of me repeating my self about something I'm excited to do but my mom likes to hear it over and over again.
A teacher once told me love isn't just saying "I love you" it's willing to do whatever would make that person happy, because when their happy your happy and you both feel loved. So this is why I'm writting this for my mom, because I love her and I feel she would be happy that I wrote this for her. | | One Amazing Woman | By Carly Cleaver | | My mom is so giving, loving, patient and kind. She has been the best mom that my brother and I could have ever asked for. She has given up so much in her life, so that we may have what we desire, and I would love for her to know ho wmuch we love and appreciate her. I became a mother when I was 15. My daughter is blind and permanently disabled. I could not make it without the support and undying love of my mother. She has given up her job, so that she can be my daughter's aide at school, she has babysat for me so I can finish college. I am now in a Master's Program and she is still supporting and helping me with my daughter. My mom has given up so much for me, and my daughter, so that I may live my dreams of being a teacher. I tell my mom Thank you everyday, and try to show her that I appreciate everything that she does for me, but I would like her to know that I want everyone to know how great she is. For I would not be the mother, student, teacher, or daughter that I am today, if my mom had not taught me how to live my life to the fullest. I hope that she knows how grateful that I am for her, and how wonderful that I think she is. I love you MOM you are the BEST! | | No Complaints | By Esti | My mother is an amazing woman. She has two children. My brother who is nineteen, and me, 15. She is the youngest of 5 children. Her father passed away when she was in her 20's and years after that, my grandmother contracted cancer. Then she fell and became paralyzed from the waist down. My mother took on the responsibility of visiting her daily and taking care of her.
Then we moved to Florida so she could teach and she had to leave my grandmother and her best friend, my aunt. She was very homesick and missed pennsylvania a lot. My 8th grade year y mother got a call from the doctors saying my grandmother was going to die. Instantly my mother got a ticket and flew up to be with her.
But instead of dying my grandmother got better. This happened many times in the course of two years. However, these past few months have been the hardest for her. My brother, in college now, has had some problems with depression and loneliness and has struggled with God a lot. My mom worries about him constantly.
My father has recently had an injury of the neck and shoulder and has been in a lot of pain. So he has been in and out of work and doctors appointments for awhile. My mother has had to make special adjustments for him.
My grandmother has grown steadily worse. So recently my mother has flon to Pennsylvania to spend the last days of my grandma's life with her. Then on the morning of May 7th, my grandma died.
Though My mother herself is suffering she has been given the majority of the work dealing with the funeral and the clean up. My mother is hard working and long suffering. She has been put through much and takes litle. Without her my family would fall apart. | | loss | By Crystal | Hello, my name is Crystal and I am the oldest of three daughters. My mother is the most sacrificing person I know. She is non-materialistic and always ever-giving. She has gone without for so long and I would like to make her feel as wonderful as she makes us feel.
My mom has worked since she was 14 with her mother. She has never had the chance to be pampered. My mom and dad never had a wedding or a honeymoon. They have never gone to some exotic place much less traveled.
My mom left her family and friends to move out to the country so that my younger sisters would have a safer place to grow up. She works part time for a card company and rarely gets out of the house. She buys everyone else new clothes and never any for herself. Dinner is always ready at 5 and she does almost all the household chores on their 2 acre property. She feeds 5 people and 6 pets every night. Actually, she has adopted several stray animals that come to the house (over 30 animals from pigs to dogs to cats to gerbils to rabbits).
A few years ago she had a near death due to a double case of pneumonia. She also was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer, in which the doctors successfully removed all of the cancer. We all hope and pray that it will not return. Needless to say, the expectancy rate for women in my family is not very old. I would like to give to my mother while she is still around. We watched the movie Family Stone last weekend; it was difficult to watch knowing that in due time I would not have my mother with me, much less to see her grandchildren grow.
I would love my mother to have a relaxing day, a clean house a trip to an exotic land. She would be happy with a homemade card, but I want her to be pampered. She has lived a hard life and her time is due to be honored.
| | How special my mom is | By Carolyn Le | | My mom is a special women, she does everything for us, but never for her self. She had 5 girls of her own, and then took her brothers three kids in, 1- girl, and two boys. She was working, cooking, cleaning, and running us to where ever doctor appt, and ect. She had to quiet her job, she started having to much stress, and it was very bad for her heart, so she has now quit her job, there are still 7 of us at home. My mom is always there for me, we talk, when need friend she is there, evens can talk to her about anything, some things she does not want to know. My mom had tooken the other thre in two years ago, and now she would like to adopt them. We only have a four bed room house and with 7 kids, and two adults its hard, but my mom would bend over backwards for us, and then to have to start all over raising more kids, everyone is always saying she is a blessing to have done all she has done for us, she keeps are rooms clean and has supper waiting when we get home. I wish I could get her something special this year, but money is tight for us, and my mom deserves a blessing just for her. Thank you very much. Carolyn Le | | Strength | By Donna Nicole Leis | Mother's Day is a day about showing and expressing our love and grattitude for our mothers'. However just one day a year for the rest of my life is not enough for me to show my mother what she means to me.
All of my childhood it has just been my mother and I. Growing up i depended on her not just for my physical needs, but emotionally as well. She is all i have, and im all she had. She had to be the mother and father of my life. But little does she know that she was also my sister, and my true best friend.
My mother has always made sure i had everything i needed, not always everything i wanted, but what i needed to be who i am today. My mothers strength and encouragement got me through anything, childhood..highschool. But not only does she support me, she is the lifeline of our entire family.
My Grandmother is legally blind and now has adopted 4 children, of which are all under the age of 4. Not to mention she fosters children in need too. But she doesnt do it alone, of course my grandfather helps, but my mom is there to hold it together. Because of the adoptions much of my family began to seperate, loose contact.
My mother is always there for everyone. Doing what she can to help.
My mother is now 40 years old and has never really been allowed to grow up. Though my grandparents try they do not realize the stresses my family is placing on my mom. But if working as a farm hand and helping my grandmother daily isnt enough stress, i added to the pile.
I joined the United States Army. I enlisted 2 days after i graduated high school. I have just recently been deployed to Iraq. My mother tells me that she is proud of me, but i know that it hurts her by me not being there with her. Although i know i have made a good decision by enlisting, sometimes i wish i could be home with her.
However hurt or scared that i am in iraq right now, she doesnt let me see it. She is the only strength i wil ever need. Her love and hope keep me going every night. I am thankful every morning that i am able to wake up one day closer to seeing her again.
If i did not have my mother i would be lost, and would have no want to even return. I would not be who i am today with out her. Every chance i get to show her how much she means to me i take it.
I know how special she is, but i want others to know. I want her to feel how special of a mom she is. | | THE HEART OF GOLD | By KIYA CHAMP | MY MOM IS SO SPECIAL BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST IN OUR LIVES AND ME SECOND SHE WOULD GO SICK AND WITHOUT THINGS IN ORDER FOR ME TO HAVE SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY ROCK AND EVERYONE AROUND HER SHE GIVES UNTIL SHE IS SICK SOMETIMES OF ALWAYS HELPING A STRANGER A NEIGHBOR A FAMILY MEMBER, SHE HAS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE,SARCODOSIS,
AND SLEEP APNEA SHE STILL GOES NON-STOP AND
THERE WERE DAYS WHEN THE SITUATION WAS RUNNING HER SELF TO DEATH SHE WOULD WIND UP IN THE HOSPITAL FOR DAYS, THIS YEAR APRIL THE 18,06 HER BIRTHDAY SHE WAS ON THE OPERATING TABLE HAVING A HEART PROCEDURE A DEFIBULATOR INSTALLED BECAUSE
HEART IS SO RUN DOWN SHE IS A GIFT FROM GOD TO ME AND EVEN IF SHE DO NOT WIN ANYTHING JUST WANT YOU AND THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT SHE IS THE GREATEST MY MOM ,MY FRIEND THANKS | | My angel | By ann marie aylward | | I would never know where to start with my mom. I always remember growing up and my friends telling me how lucky I was. Not only was my mom able to manage finding time to appear at every one of her four childrens events, but she more importantly listened. Listened....not heard what I said and told me how to resolve it...she listened, asked me what I thought I should do...and then told me she would be there should I succeed or fall. When I told her I needed her, she was there. When I told her I needed space...she gave me time to think it through. When I told her I was sad..she supported me to lift myself up. When I told her I was happy...she celebrated with me. She respected who I was and that I was capable to be a smart and successful person. It amazes me that although I am now an adult, a mom myself, my mother has never faltered in being there for me. She is the same person I adored as an adolescent..only wiser. And for what she gave me, I could never repay her. I am proud of the strong woman my mother helped to mold. I would never desert the part of her she gave me. It is that I will treasure for the rest of my life. It is that which I strive to be. | | A mom that never quitzz | By Kaitlin | It was march,8th,1994 that was the date my mom became a mom not just any mom a single parent. For the next 12 years were probaly the hardest years of here life.When I was born I had a thumb with no bone in it so she had to get surgary on that. When I was 4 months I was diagnoced with Menigitis I just about died from that.For the next couple of years till I was six my mom would go with out food just so she could feed and cloth me. My uncle would come to are house with bags of food for my mom so she could eat.
the summer I turned 6 I was camping with my uncle,my mom and my moms freinds when I got sun stroke that night I was rushed to hospital because I had got sun stroke and one of my toncils burst.For now 12 years my mom has had nothing really for here self she loves my and puts me before her...
| | My Mom | By Larry Silkey | Here's a story I would like for you to hear, a story of a mom that's such a dear.
She spent her life raising her girl and boy, which filled her heart with so much joy!
If my homework was more than I could do,
mom was there to give me some clues.
If I had a recital for ballet or dance,
mom was there to watch me prance.
If I needed her in the middle of the night,
she was there and would stay til first light.
When I turned sixteen and wanted to learn to drive, mom held on tight and tried not to cry.
So when I had kids and a granny she became, she started all over again watching dance and ballgames. I always thought she must have been bored, but not my mom, her grandkids she adored!
Mom worked so hard to give to me, lots of good memories, it's plain to see.
So when I married I wanted my wife to be, exactly like the woman that had raised me. | | My Mother, Our Angel | By Michael Brennen | | My mom is truly the GREATEST MOM anyone could ever ask for. A couple of years ago my dad was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and it left him in the hospital for over 6 months. During that time my mom was totally unselfish and helped cater to my dads physical needs and my emotional needs. At the time I had no idea what it must have been like to have the thought of losing your husband running through your head. But my mom stayed at his bedside as much as she could while helping me along as well. My mom didn’t have much time for herself between frequent visits to the hospital and taking me to baseball games, but some how she managed with out showing any signs of stress or discomfort. Now almost ten years later my dad has mad an unbelievable recovery and I know that it is not a coincidence. I really believe my mom is an angel, and I just want everyone to know how great she is. | | The Woman who gave up everything for me | By Jaime Lynn Currie | My Mom is the most incredible woman in the world and definatley deserves a special Mother's Day Gift, but I can not afford to get her anything close to what she deserves. When I was one years old, my father began beating my mother, and although she was scared and alone, she had the courage to leave him and file for divorce. My father never paid his child support and my mom gave up all of her dreams for me. She raised me as a single mother and although she wore the same clothes week after week and never spent any money on herself, I was given every advantage, dance lessons, piano lessons, skating lessons, swimming lessons. She lived in slums and drove a broken down 20 year old car, but that car always got us everywhere! She put all of her time every night of every week of her life into me and my success. Now that I am a 27 year old University student working towards my third degree, I realize that nothing I have accomplished in life would have been possible without all of her love, support and sacrifice! Seven years of university (and seven years of OSAP) leaves me a poor and in debt girl however, and I can certainly not afford to get her the type of mother's day gift that she deserves!
Please, give my mom, Wendy Currie of Guelph, Ontario the Ultimate Mother's Day Gift! She certainly deserves it! I love my mommy!
| | A VERY Special Mom | By Kayley Smith | My mom is so special to my sisters and me. She gives everything for us and there is nothing she wouldnt do to please us.
Not only does she drive my two sisters and I around, but if any of my friends are ever in need of a ride because they are in an uncomfortable situation she is always willing to help, even if it is four in the morning.
My mom works at a non profitable organization and she gets phone call 24-7. Whenever any of her staff or clients are having a hard time they no that they can always talk to my mom.
I really think my mom deserves something special because she is very special to me.
Thank you, Kayley | | So I am happy | By Christina | | My mom always makes sure i stay happy,and to do that she has a smile on her face wich makes me smile(i try not to).Or if i'm sick she makes sure i lay down on the couch with: milk,cookies,the converter,blankets,medicine and a hug!She also playes games with me.I'm always happy when i'm with my mom and so i shall for the rest of my life:D | | I LOVE MY MOMMY | By Kelly Gould | | My mother, To me the greatest lady in the world. She always knows the answers for all my problems, has been there for me for everything,all my boo boo,and break ups. But like a true mom always made sure I learnt a lesson from it! I ve pushed all her bottons and still she loves me. My mother lives her life for my brothers and I. She drops me off dinner when I call her hungry because I forgot my lunch at home. shes always supportive with all my decisions even if she thinks Im a little crazy for doing it. My mom passed on her love and wisdom to someone in the world who needed her, Me. And I would like to repay her for that. | | What Mother's Are For | By Sandy Davis | | My mom is so special because she gave birth to me. My mother was there when I needed her and she never left me for nothing. My mother is the best thing that ever happen to me. Some times I don't appreciate her, but than I look at people without mother's and think to myself. I love my mother for being the best she can be , working about 1 or 2 jobs to get what we need. | | What You Taught Me | By Barbara Jackson | Mom
I don’t know where to start to “Thank You” for all the lessons you have taught me. You had three daughters, each one different, and you still gave each one of us what we needed to become who we are. How did you do that?
I know that you have not had the easiest life. You were raised during a time when families worked hard to provide the things that were needed to make a house a home. The one thing I think you learned a lot about during that time was Love, which you gave to each one of us. You learned that love can take care of all our needs. No matter what we encountered in this crazy world, we had Home to come back to even if it was just a place to take a nap, which I did a lot! There was something about taking a nap at “home”. Even though you probably would have preferred me to stay awake and talk to you or help you do something, you let me sleep and rest because you knew that is what “I” needed.
I would imagine that you probably watched me sleep and thought to yourself how “Proud” you were of me. That is something you learned how to do well too. I never felt like you weren’t proud of me, even when I did some things that should have disappointed you. I am sure you can’t even remember any of those things because that is just the way you are. You seem to only remember the good things.
You also have showed so much “Commitment” taking care of your family in good times and tough times. I know you must have learned that having two parents that were together so many years and taking care of each other and their children. I think that somewhere along the way without me knowing it,, you taught me that too. I have been committed to my husband for 30 years now and I had great role models to show me how to do that. I hope that I have done that for my daughter like you did.
One more thing I have noticed about you is your “Empathy” for others. You genuinely hurt when others hurt. You cry when we cry. You worry when we worry, most of the time “more” than we do! You worried when we didn’t want you to worry. You try to make it better in any way you know how. When you can’t make it better, you hurt some more. You wear a big smile when we smile. If you have helped bring that smile back, you take no credit for it.
One last thing that has probably helped me the most, is YOU taught me to “Talk”! You watched me in a crowd and talk to people I didn’t know, and you have said “Where did you learn to do that?” I have tried to figure out when and how you taught me that “Confidence” it takes to do that. I think you must have learned how to do that when you came to a little town called Spavinaw with our dad. You didn’t know anyone and that changed with each person you met. You were “Brave” to come home with him to a place so different than where you had come from. I am sure that people you met wondered how you could be a “Damn Yankee” when you were so “Damn Nice”.
Mom, I just wanted to put my thoughts down on paper so you can read them over and over, because I know I don’t take enough time to say them to you as often as you deserve. I hope my thoughts and love have gone unspoken and you have always known how special you were to me all along. I love you Mom, Barbara
| | My Hero | By Jessica | | My mom is a mother of 4, and I'm the oldest at 16. Yes I do help her out with a lot of things but face it, even teenagers are still kids and can be as annoying and un-useful as possible. I love my mom very much and seeing her driving me to volleyball my brother to school and baseball and basketball and golf and my sisters to soccer and lacross and religion like is was something she just had to do on a daily bases, makes me love her even more. How she wakes up early with me just to make sure I have a good lunch to eat and how she is presently VERY patient with me as she teaches me to drive. I want my mom to have a day off where she can rest her feet, her car and just sit back and relax. I am going to try as hard as I can to keep myself and other 3 siblings out of her hair. My mom is my hero, dedicating her life to her children and her money... umm well that's basically for gas ;) | | Sacrifice | By Crystal | Hello, my name is Crystal and I am the oldest of three daughters.

| | MOMMY | By Constance | | Well my sister and i have been blessed to have a mother like Angela. She is a single mother raising two teen girls that are not even hers by birth. Yeah thats right she adopted me and my sister. This is what makes us luv her even more. She tries to give us everything we need and want. She goes way beyond what is expected. She is our ANGEL sent from GOD. And thats why we luv her so much. | | Mom is Special | By Jacki Thompson | | My Mother is special because not only is she my Mother, she is also my Father and my Best Friend. She put her life on hold for me any time the need arose. She has always been, and forever will be, always there for me. She put her kids first no matter what and it wasn't until after Myself (age 27) and my Brother (age 31) that she finally began giving herself a life of her own. She will always say her kids are her life, and we know we are... but seeing her sharing her time with someone she loves intimately, and finally enjoying a life of her own, is so much more then we could ask for. My Momma is precious. The greatest woman I will ever know and love. | | 100 Words for Mom | By Kelly Stallings | | 100 words cannot begin to describe why my mother deserves everything good. Her life has been dedicated to helping others. Feeding a neighborhood kids a hot meal when his family is down on their luck. Fighting and winning the battle to get breakfast provided for kids in school. Sewing a beautiful prom dress for me because “every girl should feel like a princess.” She has never had the chance to go on a vacation or eat at a fancy restaurant Just once in my life; I would like the chance to show her that she is a princess too. | | LGH is in the House | By Violagene Hill | | If you have never known anyone before you should know of this one person. She has gone through the earthquake, tornado, and hurricane all toghether and God has allowed her to still be here. She is still in her right mind and will help anyone in need if she can. She is a Godfearing, Strong, Wise, Knowledgeable, Skilled, Multitasked and so many other words. She is peace when others can't find it. The things that she has gone through by her story you will be saying to your self 'I wonder how she did that!' I have asked myself over and over the same thing, but I know that it was by the grace of God. When she enters the room you will know that she was there. The light of her life shines brightly from her heart. She looks like my sister and acts like it too, but she is over the hill. She is a friend and hardworker and at her age you would think oh she looks wrinkled or gray hair everywhere, but she is not and she jumps rope and walks and she definitely keeps a clean house. She loves order and she loves people. My mother is the flower you thought would never bloom. A flower that is pure white in the form of a rose. No other mother can compare for the things of this woman. She is strong and phenomenal and extremely unique. I know for a fact and if I told you her life story you would definitely agree that she is no doubt the greatest blessed woman around. After she has left your presence you will know the LGH is in the House! | | She Makes Me Want to be a Better Person | By Andrea | | I would like to enter the Mother's Day contest on behalf of my mom, Edith Bertelsen. She is an amazing woman who has undergone an excruciating year. Her husband was diagnosed with colon cancer last year and she unwaveringly cared for him day and night until he passed away in her arms on April 2, 2006. She has shown me over the course of the past year what it means to be a compassionate, strong and loyal woman, which is a lesson that all people need. She has taught me many other lessons as she raised me (on her own), but these lessons I have learned from her this past year I find the most valuable. I want to give her the world to show her how much I love her and I appreciate her. Even in her grief, she is showing me how to be a better woman. She has also taken under her wing her husband's youngest son who is desperately in need of a kind word and someone who understands what he is going through right now after losing his father. Even in the depths of despair, she is willing to help others and do what needs to be done. I can see when I look at her how much she is hurting, but how even helping out her kids (myself and her step-son)just a little bit makes it just a bit better. That is a true mom - someone who is empowered to fight her own battle by seeing the good she showers on those who love her. | | What Would I Do Without Her? | By Kayla Cross | | It's assignment day and I can't find my project, my favorite pants or my hairbrush. I run downstairs franticly darting from one corner of the house to the other looking for my stuff. My mom stands in the kitchen with this look on her face like "what ARE you doing?" Suddenly my mom turns and hands me my project which she has nicely glued some pictures to, my favorite pants with the button fixed and my hairbrush. Thank god for my mom, otherwise nothing would ever get done around this house. | | My Mom | By Kathy Coltrain | | My mom is 63 years old. She has always been there for me through bad times and good times. When I needed money she was quick to give it to me, when I needed to talk she was always there to listen, when I needed comforting she was there to cry with me or laugh with me. I know when I hurt she hurt. Now she is sick and I have to be there for her. She has always been there for me and now it is my turn. She doesn't remember everything like she use to. She cann't cook those wonderful meals she did. She still listens and is still there but she also forgets. I love my mom and she deserves to win. We need to celebrate her life because she has done so much for so many. Thanks, Kathy (her daughter | | mommie dearest | By kristen roden | | My mom has been through so much! My father passed away many years ago and she has worked extra hard to make sure my brother and me had what we needed and still does! She always puts us first. She is going through another illness with her new husband and still remains so strong. I couldnt imagnine life without her, she deserves something for her for once! | | My Friend/My Rock/My Mom | By Sharon Ann Banther | My Mother had once told me "Remember baby girl your friends are like a mirror, they are a reflection of yourself." and she reminded me of that many of times through my younger years. And even as now that i'am a woman with grown daughters of my own. So you see when I look into the mirror not only do i see my Mom. But I hear her as well.I can hear myself asking as i had done many of times "Mom, Is this it ? the way I'll spend rest of my life? It was those times, i most felt at my lowest moments. And I would hear my mom say "Oh NO NO daughter you need to take hold. Mom has such a special way of reminding us how there is a God, nor forget about having faith and how things were all part of Gods plan.And she would repeat just as she did when I was little girl far as back even when she herself was left all alone on her own with four of us kids at such a tender and difficult age. But Mom always with such enthusiasm of how there was going to be a whole new beginning. Mom would always be flooded with many questions and always the one of "Mom how do you always know these things? Did she ever have a way of not letting us forget the older we got the wiser she had got. So you can imagine a very young woman no more than a child herself trying to keep us kids constantly encouraged, to always do our best. Just as proud even when we didn't as long as we kept trying, believing in our goals and never stop dreaming.At the same time she would be critical of our dreams and of our choices but not of trying to impose her own. Where she found the time for all of us, while working two and three jobs. Is still a mystery . Mom still continues to do well at displaying commitment,leadership and such a unique way of making good times good and bad times even better. Always a helping hand to lend along with a sincere heart of kindness. And the best of the best at giving advice , especically when in need and wish not. Does she ever so holds such a gift of being able to make you open your eyes, enables you to see the reality around you. As I continue to search for the perfect words for a wonderful beautiful lady as my Mom. I so realized how i struggle of being able to find enough of words to truely, deeply express all the wonderful, special words to be able to express how much she really means to me. True enough just because she have given both to us four and blessed with four more. Doesn't automatically allow her to carry a proud title as "Mom and Mother". Its something she earned which does take unselfish, many heartaches and not only tears of joy but sadness as well.Years of dedication,acceptance and tough love to do so. So you see even no words couldn't say enough of how Thankful and blessed we are not only from us kids but grand and great grandkids will even tell you so. To have a Mother as our Mom. Who has earned the title and being a postive role model and daring to have such a passion and love for life, for us kids and love ones. So again i ask myself. What do you do? possibily give or maybe say to the upmost respectable fine lady, not only is she my closest and dearest friend and hope. But a Mother anyone would pray to have and a lovely lady anyone would go to great lengths to be near.I pray and truely hope there be comfort with her, especially for her to honesty know she is deeply adored, loved and not only is she my Rock, but appreciated, leader and a surperd example to us all and reflection of many.

Mom BluSkies it will be.... | | The Generosity of a Mother | By Colleen L. | | She is a mother, a grandmother, a wife, an aunt, a sister and a friend to all. My mother has always been the kind of person to give so selflessly and be happiest while doing so. She was a teacher up until she retired a few years ago and to this day still misses "her kids." Students adored her and her peers sang her praises. I moved when I was 21 across the country, just a little too soon. My mother got sick and ended up in the hospital just a couple of months after I moved away. She was in the hospital with an illness and ended up staying there for quite a while until the doctors could help her. It was coming close to Christmas and she could not go to do any shopping. A gift from my aunt was to fly me home to spend Christmas with my family. On Christmas morning, I opened the best present I have ever received; from my mom. She called it a "Memory Box." And inside, she had many small pieces of multicoloured construction paper where she had written down a memory she had of me growing up. Tears filled my eyes as I read over her words of proud memories of me and humourous stories from the past. So unselfish is my mother that while she was sick in the hospital, she spent her time writing these memories out just so she would have something special for me for Christmas. I have shared the story of this gift with many people, all with the same reaction - "What an absolutely beautiful sentiment." I have since reciprocated and made her her own memory box. I am also in the process of making one for my best friend as she is making one for me. Another friend is also making one for her mother for Christmas this year. The amazing generosity that has began with my mother, is making it's way around the country. They say "Pay it Forward" and that's exactly what is happening here. The love and appreciation that is my mom, is being shared by others and I couldn't be happier. Now is my chance to thank my mom for being a true inspiration and show her just how special and unique she is. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I love you. | | One Special MoM | By Jenna Crocker | | My mom is one of the specialist people in my life she has been here for me my whole life and still is, she is my mom and my dad she tells me this cause my dad is not here for us. We have suffered for a long time of what he put us through but my mom sister and i are still very close, she tries to make my life as best as she can and she does a good job of it!! thats why i wan't her to have the best mothers day she can ever have just to show her how much i appreciate everything she does for me....Mom i love you xo | | The Greatest Touch of Love from my Mom | By Keytorri Partlow | In life, our lives are touched by certain people because of certain events. When this happens, it can change your life for a life time.
It has been written that - “If you find it in your heart to care for someone else, you will have succeed.” These words were written by the famous poet and author – Maya Angelou. These words truly describe the person who has so lovingly cared for me, and that is my mother – Kathy.
These words touched my heart in the greatest way. Everyday, my heart is filled with love and my eyes are filled with tears, as I recall her unselfish acts of love given towards me & my siblings.
Some people might say, but mothers are supposed to give love unselfishly and unconditionally. Well, that would be true if that person was your natural mother. In this case, Kathy is my grandmother.
You see, my real mom or biological mother was accidentally hit by a car, as she was walking home from work. Her car had engine trouble and because it was dark, the driver unfortunately didn’t see her. She was killed. This tragedy happened when I was only four (4) years old. I was told that she cared for me and my brother and baby sister very much. She was young, only twenty-one (21) years old and very pretty. During that short time of her life, I have seen lots of pictures that showed very happy times. I’m sure if she was still alive she would encourage me to do my best in everything. She was doing her best to make a good life for us, but, her life was taken too soon.
Even though this happened, I was blessed with another person who stepped in for my mother and that is my Grandmother. I never ever call Kathy the title Grandmother, because all I knew at the age four (4) was that she was “my mother” and I accepted it.
Therefore, this paper is being written about the person I have grown to love and know as “my mother” since age four (4). The one who has given her greatest touch & that is the touch of love.
It has been said that history repeats itself. I can say that about my life & the life of my real mother. When, my real mother was only four (4) years old like me, she was cared for by a guardian. That guardian is now “my mother (Kathy).” Probably never in a million years would my real mother (Sonya) have thought that the day would have come where the two of us would share the same love and attention from the same person. A person who cared for a four (4) year old then, and another four (4) year old years later.
My mother (Kathy) often tells me the dream she had before my mother (Sonya) passed away. My real mother (Sonya) came to her in a dream & said “take care of the kids.” Kathy responded by saying that, her kids were all grown up & were no longer babies, but my real mother’s request was honored. My mother Kathy really found it in her heart to care for us and has truly succeeded at it.
I know that my mother (Sonya) looks down from Heaven and smiles on us each & everyday & says Thank you to “my mother” (Kathy).
I feel so blessed to have been able to share love from two people I can call mother.
I truly believe that my real mother is pleased & “my mother” today makes sure that I continue to do my best in life. As I live each day to the fullest & continue to be encouraged by “my mother” my real mom, rejoices in Heaven about all my accomplishments. I feel so very, very special because its not everyday that a young lady like myself can have the love of two special ladies all wrapped up in the heart of one little girl. That little girl is me.
My mother (Kathy) has been a great inspiration to me and if success can be measured in deeds of caring and sharing, then my mother receives an A+. My mother (Kathy) has taught me never to be selfish but to share with others, especially those less fortunate than myself. I’ve found this to be true, as I work hard helping others at home, at school, at church, even playing with my friends in my neighborhood.
In conclusion, I would like to say:
My mom is a very, very special person to me and my siblings.

Austin, Brooke, Kimberly and Trinity | | Math Problem | By Stephanie Cormier | | Once, when i got this test back on Math, it wasn't a very high mark.But my mom said, "Try harder". And helped me correct my mistakes on the test.And the next test, i got better. Because, my mom showed me how to do better and how to understand what we were learning, much better, i got a higher mark! I love my mom for helping me out when i needed it most!!!!!!!!!!! | | Why My Mom Is So Special | By Christina Pugh | | Why my mom is so special,is because no matter how much crap my kid sister and I put her through she is always there for us girls. When I found out that I was pregnant with her grandson she did not really get mad it was more concerned for her daughters well-being. And when I went into labor she was there, when my kids got real sick or hurt she was there, or when my family needed some financial assistance with some stuff she always was there to give a helping hand, and she knows that her daughters will always love her, I have always dreaded the thought of my mom going througha heart attack or stroke losing one of my best influences in my life. No matter where or how she is always there for me and my kids, she would do anything for them. | | I Love My Mom | By Mary Kate Blois | | My mom has always been there for me and I love her so much for it. I will tell you some of how she has been there for me. When I was 15 I was diagnosed with diabetes and mom was there every minute for me. She stayed in the hospital with me for 2 nights until I was ready to go home and when I did get home she was there evn more for me while I was getting used to this new life style. Then just a week ago I was in a pretty serious car accident and hit my head pretty bad. I called my mom even though it was 2 in the morning and she came and got me and took me to emergency. I ended up with 15 stitches in my head and my mom was by my side the whole time in the hospital. I dont know what I would do without my mom, I love her so much. She worries a lot about me and sometimes it makes me mad but I know that it is just that she loves me. I really feel like my mom deserves this because she is so special to me and I think she is the best mom in the whole world and I love her. | | Will Not Fall Down | By Olivia | My name is Olivia Yourkin i am 17 yrs old.

| | My Mom My Savior! | By Michelle Souter | | MY MOM WAS 17 WHEN SHE HAD ME. MOST OF MY LIFE SHE WAS A SINGLE MOM AND HAD TO WORK A LOT! WHEN I WAS 13 I RAN AWAY FROM HOME AND STARTED SELLING DRUGS TO LIVE. EVERY NIGHT SHE WOULD BE OUT LOOKING FOR ME. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER SHE FOUND ME. SHE DROVE FOR 3 HOURS TO MY AUNTS HOUSE AND LEFT ME THERE. I HAD NO CLOTHES NO NOTHING. I TOOK THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE MY LIFE AND I DID! SINCE THEN I HAVE MARRIED AND BIRTHED 2 CHILDREN, WHICH WITHOUT MY MOM I COULD NEVER HAVE MADE IT THROUGH. SHE STUCK BY MY SIDE EVERY TIME I CALLED. SHE STAYED UP AND TIMED CONTRACTIONS WITH ME EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS SOO TIRED. i'M PREGNANT AGAIN AND SHE IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. SHE'S THE TYPE OF MOM YOU CAN TALK ABOUT MORE THAN ANYTHING TOO. SHE'S HONEST AND LOVING DESPITE HER OWN TRADGEDIES IN HER OWN LIFE. SHE IS MY WHOLE WORLD AND MY BEST FRIEND. I JUST LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH! | | Why my mom is special | By Hannah Wyble | | my mom is special to me because she takes time to understand me when I cant be understud, she takes time to listen to me when no one will listen, and most of all she takes time to teach me when I don't want to be taught. my mom is very special to me because if she was not here I wouldent be here eather, and that is why my mom is specail to me. | | A Mother's Love | By Zaahirah Swan | | I'm fourteen years old and I still have really bad dreams. One time I saw a movie called They, and I couldn't sleep for weeks. The whole three weeks I couldn't sleep, my mother let me sleep in the bed with her. This is one of the reasons why my mom is special to me. | | MY SUPER HERO! | By krista | Dun du dun du dun... have no fear, my mom is here!!!!!
My mom, oh where do I begin? She is the most amazing influential person in my life. Don't get me wrong, my dad is too, but the woman I am talking about is my mom. A super star,a super hero, an acrobat... well maybe not an acrobat(but I bet if she wanted to she could!)My mom can make any scrape feel better, any pb&j stained shirt white again, and get rid of any monsters under the bed!!!!She is the best because I know she will always love me no matter how much trouble I get in. Even though we fight sometimes I love her soooo much, all the stars in the galaxy could not add up to how much I love her. | | Giving, Giving, Giving!!!! | By Brooke Steinmetz | | The true reason why my mom is so special is because all she does is think about everybody except herself. If she wins then she will finally have at least one time for herself so that we, my family, can give back to her all the time she has thought about us and acknowledged us so please pick the best mom in the world!!!! | | Hard Times | By Katie Allen | | A year ago, my mom seperated from her husband of 20 years and the father of her 2 beautiful children. She probably should have done it sooner but she stayed with him for my brother and I. We left on night when things started to get bad. I thought that it was just a regular night, but things started to get physical, so I called my moms friend and he came to pick us up and we stayed with them until the cops removed my dad from the house and they havent been together since. This is so very hard on her and I know that she still loves him. He hasnt been paying child support for the past couple months and she is trying her hardest to keep us where we are living. She is only a school bus driver and doesnt make very much money. She is so special to me and I dont know what my brother and I would do without her. She is our everything. | | My hero | By judy | My mom is the essence of unconditional and spiritual love. She is my hero and role model, rising above petty differences and never alienating anyone. Several years ago, despite above average intelligence, I spiraled into a heavy drug addiction. I lost my home & my job, & everything that meant anything. I found myself homeless in the downtown east side. When I tried to get out, Mom was there, even though she’d written me off as dead. She brought me shampoo and popcorn and love. I fought hard and realized how much pain I caused to her and the rest of my family. Last year I reached a milestone of 10 years without using drugs. Mom is grandma to my 6 and 2 year old daughters, and continues to be my iconic hero. I want to win this contest for her to say thank you and show her how much she means to me and so many other people. I want to thank her for turning her back when she needed to, but knowing when to be there for me when I needed her more than ever. I was taught and now I teach my daughters the same spirit of unconditional love. Thanks Mom – you’ve made the world a better place.
| | always a grannie | By Sabina Walston-Edwards | | My mother and my children love each other dearly and we have a motto...grannie won't live forever , so the children are allowed to go to her place as much as possible. I can accept the fact that not only do my children love me, but they love another person just as much!! | | My Mother!!!! | By Haley | | My mother, Eileen is the greatest mother ever. She deserves to win this contest because she is a hard working lady. I love because she helps me and always loves me. She also encourages me to do things. That is why she should get a chance to win this contest! | | MY MOM | By Alyssa | | My mom is specail to me because she has been always there. I know that everyone says that about their mother just so they can win the contst,but im saying it bcause my mom is fun,cool,and a trust worthy woman. Everyone respects my mother.All my friends call her mom because thats what she is. I dont think a mother is just someone who gave birth to u but someone u can count on.Who will always love u no matter what u do. My mom always changes her plans for my sister and i when i have softball practice she is takes off of work just to watch me get dirty. I love my mommy so much and i truly think she is the best mom in the whole world. Not because she buys me any and every thing i want but because she loves me even when i get into trouble at school. | | Courageous Woman | By FELICIA GULLY | My mother is special, because she is a courageous
woman. She has sacrificed her entire life putting others before herself.Many years ago my father died in car accident.At the age 29 my mother became a widow was left raise 10 children alone, 4 children were my cousins.She did not give up to have a life of her own. Instead she gave us life. She's so exceptional and inestimable, no ransom or anything can be given to repay my mother for what she done for me; but all the days of my life I am going to make an effort to show her how much I love her. | | Mother of All | By Kimberly Taylor | | My mother is special to me because she would do anything for anyone to help them. She is outgoing and friendly and everyone loves her, especially me. | | My mother....the vegetarian animal lover | By Caitlin Nielsen | | My mom's name is Heather Nielsen and she is vegetarian. She eats no meant, hardly ever fish because she believes the way they are treated is NOT right. My mother has no porducts that do animal testing nin our house and tries to use environmentally friendly products for like cleaning and stuff. My mother is almost vegan which means she eats nothing with an animal porduct in it. My mom has reasons for all her beliefs becasue she has done a lot of research on it to prove her point. My mom is not young, (no no no joking joking)but she has a fun and energetic personality and a great style sense. She does NOT care what other people think about her and she isn't very self-conscious. She thinks the way she looks is great and if somebody doesn't like it then it is their problem not hers. I think my mom is the best because she believes in all the animal rights and is very active in trying to fight them. | | My mom | By Emily | | My mom really does desirve this.She is always doing something for others and never doing anything for herself.She is recovering alchoholic.She hasnt been here alot because she has been trying to get better,so shes been spoiling us alot.She works all the time just for her kids.She is a preschool teacher so she is like a mom to everyone.The preschool kids there are title 20.So they are mistreated and most of them don't have 2 parents.My mom had a chance to work somewhere differnt.But she stayed there to try and make a difference in those kids lives.Those kids love her so much because of her love and kindness to everyone.My mom is so special to me she is like my best friend and I hope you pick her | | My mother - the hard worker- | By Rayna Schwartz | | Hello. I am a 10 year old who apreciates that my mom works so hard. She raises three kids and tries her best to make our lives fun. I love her very much and think that she deserves to win something for all her hard work. she is always put under so much desitions and stress. I know she cant do too much for us but atleast she tries.she goes to sleep at night after all her work at 11:00pm and wakes up at 4:00am. She works all day.she hasent gone on a vacation in almost 4 years.She has hired three baby-sitters to take care of us. She even has her new boy friend who she loves very much tke care us sometimes. She never gets a break until she gets her 5 hours of sleep which isnt even a full night sleep! we even act like maids - we do most of the work around the house while she is on the computer doing work all day. This is a true story and i hope she wins. Please understand of how much she needs this. and i will feel bad if me taking time off helping her was worth nothing. | | My mother and my hero | By Heather | My mom is very special because of all she has done and given of herself. 16 yrs ago, when I was 12, she adopted her niece’s baby girl to provide her a safe and secure home when at the time her niece could not. At one week old the baby became very ill with a rare case of pneumonia and was hospitalized for the first few weeks of life. My mom never left her side at the hospital. Now my younger sister, Nikki, is a typical healthy 16 year-old teenager.
My mom returned to school and received a BA in 1997, then a divorced and single mother. After the divorce money was always tight and with taking out school loans it became even more of a struggle for her. In 2001 she had no other choice but to file bankruptcy. My mom has always been the strongest most positive person I have and will ever know. She worked hard and succeeded in all she did. She has since gotten back on her feet and has a great job with security.
My mother gave me the support I needed to return to school myself. In 2002, when I was 24 years old, I gave birth to my son, Tyler. I had been a bartender and waitress all my life and knew I wanted something better if I was to provide a good life for my son. When Tyler was 3 months old my mom offered to share the home she was renting. This allowed her to be there for me always when I needed not only help with raising my son but being a fulltime student and single mother. I had a safe and warm home and knew my son was happy and safe. This allowed me to focus on school and in June of 2005 I received my AA in web programming. | |
