My mom was such a kind, caring person. I try to emulate that.

I would respectfully like to mention my daughter, Christine, who stepped up to the plate to take care of her son and my grandson, Tyler, when he was egregiously injured in a football accident, with a broken neck and spinal cord injuries. She has helped, cried with, prodded, and supported every step of his path to be able to walk again, to the point where is now in a Masters university program. She never wavered, even when fighting insurance companies where she felt like she had to "put on my suit of armor and be ready to fight every day for him."

My mom is my hero. She's at twice cancer survivor. She's the strongest woman I know. She is so selfless and caring. She is taking care of my dad through his cancer and is also battling both Parkinson's and dementia. She is by far the greatest person I've ever known and I'm so blessed to have her in my life.

My mom is the best role model! I love her!

My mom came to America when she was a teenager and struggled to learn to English and endured bullying from other classmates but she continued to push forward and learned English fluently. She then went on to college and but wasn't able to finish because she married my dad. However that didn't stop her from continuing to push herself and eventually get a job in Human Resources, providing for her family. She passed when I was young but I still remember all of the hard work and effort she put towards making us happy and giving us a good life. I hope that I too can provide for my family in the future just as she did.

My mother and grandmother both inspired me to be the woman I am today. My mother was a single mother who showed me strength. My grandmother was the most selfless person I know and I love her for that. My grandmother is gone now but her memory still lives in my heart alone with all she taught me.

My grandmother came to the U.S. from Scotland when she was 18 and her family due to the war in her country. She eventually became a teacher and married my grandfather who was also from Scotland and they raised 5 kids. She was a strong and tough woman. Her daughter, my mother always took care of everyone in her family and in ours. Shes always worried about everyone else first. I wish she would care for herself more. She has already beat breast cancer and a stroke at 62. These women in my life have inspired me to be a hardworker, never give up and to always strive for the best.

My mom is an amazing and strong woman to raise two kids alone after a divorce. But, she can be very nagging a lot of times!

acceptance

My mom is one of the nicest people ever and is always ready to help someone out. She has been through so much and even when things get tough she stays strong. I admire her so much.

My mom worked hard so that my brother and I grew up without feeling like we missed out on anything.

My mother has always supported us, no matter what kind of nonsense we were into, she supported us 100% She always said "be you" and she meant it. She loves us for who we are, no strings, no expectations, just love.

My mom cannot be described in words. I am grateful for all the nagging she did to me, she pissed me off and annoyed me. But I am so grateful for all that because today, I can stand on my own two feet and not have to beg someone for money. She taught me how to cook, clean, pray, read, eat, etc. I miss my mom even more since I have moved to the South where women are regarded as baby making machines and they lack even high school education. I am very disappointed how so many women here don't even a proper place to live. My mom thankfully taught me the traditional and religious values. I never touched a man before marriage. I was given all these values by mom. No one can have such a great place in my heart like my mom does. She is my heaven.

My mom took care of me when i had a tumor removed from my back - it was so painful but she made me strong and i could not have done it without her

Yes my mother always put her family first and I made sure she was taken care of when she got sick..
