The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh
While I have many beautiful memories before my children were born, it’s hard to remember those days when all I had to worry about was myself. Despite the sleep deprivation, a house that never seems to be clean, and very little time to myself, I am humbled, blessed, filled with joy and honored to be called mommy by my two bright and beautiful children. My mother was and is a tremendous example to me and I only hope I am as loving, giving, patient, and enduring as she is.
I am surrounded by women who rock motherhood. Women who have given up executive positions in prominent companies to stay home and be with their children…women who sacrifice “the glamourous life” so they can be there for their children’s first steps, first day of school, first baseball game…women who realize that the time with their children is too short and goes by too quickly and choose them over everything else.

THe best Mothers Day ever spent with my mom was when we got together with my sister in law and we all sat their bawling like babies waiting for the calls from our husbands who were deployed in Iraq, times like that bring about extremely special bonds!

My mom is great because she is always supportive. I love her.
My mom is a very special lady. She took care of my disabled dad for 17 years, worked, and helped us out with child care. I don’t know how she did it all!
My mom is special because even though she is sick every day, she never complains and wants to do for others. She’s my rock.
My mom was always hard working. She worked 3 jobs to support my sister, brother and I. As a single mom she never did for herself, it was always for us three. We never really went without but we didn’t have had a lot either. There was always a warm meal but I knew she wanted more for us. I hope her the best mothers day!! I love her..
My grandmother was my mom and has been! She raised me because no one else would! I love her dearly for it!

My mom came to the United States and gave up a great career to stay home and raise my brother and I. I couldn’t appreciate it fully at the time, but now I am in awe of all that she has done for us!

my mum has been wonderful. she was a great mum while i was growing up, but she’s never stopped being my best friend, and number one supporter.
I don’t really have a story, just that I have an amazing mom whose always been there for me no matter what. She’s truly amazing and has put up with alot from her 3 kids and never complained.
My mom is my best friend, she is so great. She makes me laugh all the time. She is so positive. She really knows how to cheer me up.
My mom is my #1 supporter and would do absolutely anything for her 4 daughters. I am glad that I have inherited some of her best personality traits.

My mom is very special. Most recently she took nearly a month off work to help care for her dying sister and help her get her estate all in order before she passed.
My mom supports everything I do regardless of what it is..
My mother-in-law is pretty terrific! She has always welcomed me into the family and worked hard to have a good relationship with me. She knows that my mom passed away when I was 6, and while she can’t replace her, she can fill that mom-void in my life. I’m very blessed to have her!

My mom worked hard but still made time to take me to all sorts of activities – some as much as an hour’s drive. I love that she made sure I got to try all sorts of things and then decide what I liked and didn’t like!
my mom is special, she and my dad adopted two children that needed homes
My Mom has always been there for us, she worked long hours to support us on her own.

I lost my mother not quite a year ago at 93 years of age. She was a loving parent, an unquestioning beliver in God and always a wonderful example of how to live a life. She was a hard working woman until her body started to fail. Even then she would take her walker outside to oversee the garden while a wonderful neighbor did the actual work. She shared the bounty with friends and neighbors.
I will always miss her and hope my children see me as a good example too.
My mom (and dad) gave up a lot for the benefit of their kids. She/they probably don’t see it as giving up though but as investing in us. She/They sent 4 kids to Christian school and paid for music lessons for us. She/They endured our many plays, concerts and games (bless them for that)! My mom continues to give of what she has in time & money to help her kids whenever she can. I’m glad she’s my mom and I’m trying to follow her example.

My mom had to make so many sacrifices. to raise my and my eight sisters as a single mom.
My mom has done a lot for all of us. She came from another country with my dad to have a better life for us.
I’d love to get her something special for Mother’s Day.
