My grandmother and my aunts are the only mothers I’ve ever had. I appreciate all that they do for me. Sure, they get on my nerves and exaggerate things, but i know they only want whats best for me. Without them who knows where i would be.
Alex Gleason • May 12, 2017 at 12:47 PM
My mom is always there for my brother and I. She always puts us before her and makes sure we are comfortable. And supports us with what we do.
Lexie lewis • May 12, 2017 at 12:47 PM
My mom is my rock. I can go to her for anything and I know she’ll always give good advice. I’m thankful for all the times she’s driven me to practices and games. And for all the money she’s spent on hotels for my tournaments and travel teams. I don’t know what I’d do without her.
Makayla • May 12, 2017 at 12:47 PM
My mother makes being a mother her #1 priority. She finds joy in everything she does for us, as she enjoys helping her children. She puts all our needs before herself which I find beautiful. Although I may sometimes get mad at her, it’s always because she cares. She cares for me SOO much to the point that I get annoyed, then I find myself laughing because of how stupid it is to even be mad. I am lucky to have a mother like my mom, and I am greatful for her because some people don’t have mothers or mothers who care so much. I love my motherā¤.
Mariella Barreto • May 12, 2017 at 12:46 PM
I love my mom so much. She has done so much for me and my brother. She’s accomplished so much and overcame so many obstacles that stood in her way. No matter what I’ll always love her.
Dyony Bueno • May 12, 2017 at 8:12 AM
I love my mom so much and I have ton of respect for her. She has overcome a lot of obstacles in her life to make sure me and my siblings are living comfortable. She’s the best mother a kid like me can ask for.
Dara Lewis • May 12, 2017 at 8:02 AM
My mother has done so much for me throughout my life. Even during the roughest of times, she was there with me when no one else could be. I know that I am far from being a “perfect” child, but I do appreciate everything she has done for me, even though I may not always show it. Although we may not always get along, I will always love her.
Sadie Unangst • May 12, 2017 at 7:54 AM
My mom does a lot for me and I know she’ll always be there no matter what so I guess she’s pretty cool! :)
Dayanara howard • May 12, 2017 at 7:53 AM
Even with my mom working every day she is always there for me even if i have to take care of my siblings because she is at work. She always comes home and takes that weight of my shoulders, she is out of work now but that means it’s my turn to take the weight off her shoulders when i get home
Jackie Bauer • May 12, 2017 at 7:50 AM
Besides the fact that my mom and I argue and butt heads a lot she’s my best friend. Whenever I am upset and can’t talk to anyone else I knows I can talk to her
Kira Darlington • May 12, 2017 at 7:50 AM
My mom does so much for me especially after my dad died and she’s being so strong about it. I love her so much and I’m definitely doing something special for her for Mother’s Day.
Amaya Caraballo • May 11, 2017 at 1:25 PM
My mom is my best friend and I would be completely lost without her!
Shavaughn Frank • May 11, 2017 at 1:08 PM
Heather Elizabeth Frank is the best mom in the universe. She is caring, loving, and understanding. She somehow juggles work, home and me. She is always a person i can talk to even if it is something I did wrong and she will give me evidence to fix it. Thank you mom for everything you do and happy mothers day!!!
Luke Socha • May 11, 2017 at 1:07 PM
Mother’s day is a dumb holiday. Why do we need a specific day to celebrate or mothers? We should show our mothers that we love and appreciate them everyday. Now, if you just use mothers day as an excuse to give her a gift, then bravo to you, but if you only tell her you love her on mothers day, you need to reevaluate yourself. Let your mother know that you appreciate her every single day, because you never know when you might not even have that choice anymore.
Emilio Arostegui • May 11, 2017 at 1:07 PM
Mother’s Day. A day to celebrate the hardworking mothers in all our lives. My mother is probably very deserving of this praise. She helps me, and she will in the future. When something ails me, she is the first one to offer help. Sometimes, it seems like I despise her, or hate her, but that is NEVER the case. I love her more than anything. Whenever the problem is small or insignificant, or massively terrifying, she usually pulls through. I love you, Ma. Don’t you ever doubt that.
Derick Ducosse • May 11, 2017 at 1:03 PM
My mom is the best mother ever. She’s been with me since day one. She makes sure I’m happy and always in a good mood. She does a lot for me and I could never ask for anything better.
Megan Filipkowski • May 11, 2017 at 1:02 PM
My mom has always been there to support me. I love her with all my heart. I am so proud of all of the hard work she puts into everything she does. Whether it be running marathons, raising my sister and I, or volunteering around the community, she always give it her all. I couldn’t ask for a better mom. <3
Andrew Bunker • May 11, 2017 at 1:02 PM
My Mom is very important to me she is actually my aunt but a mom is someone who actually takes care of you someone who loves you with all their heart she adopted me and my sister and we call her mom because she is a real mom
kachynna • May 11, 2017 at 1:02 PM
My mom is the greatest mom out there and i’m gonna put it like that!! =)
Sarah • May 11, 2017 at 1:01 PM
My mother is the one who’s always there for me. I’m so thankful for all that she has done in the past 16 years
Naomi Hineline • May 11, 2017 at 10:54 AM
I am so thankful for the three ladies i call my mom,stepmom, and grandmother. I am so thankful for my mom because every time I’m upset, shes right there talking to me and help me through everything. My stepmom is another woman I am thankful for because she doesn’t have to care for me, but she chooses to. She doesn’t have to take me and my siblings places or buy us things, she chooses to. She chooses to help me, because she understands more than my mom. I am so thankful for my grandmother because she was there to take me in when nobody else would, she takes care of me and shelters me and helps me.
Belmany Consecion • May 11, 2017 at 10:50 AM
Having a person that I know loves me like nobody would ever love me in this world is the greatest feelings. She’s a women that carried me for 9 months, a women that feed me through feeding herself, a women that i heard the heartbeat of as i was in her stomach. The strongest individual that i know, with 4 kids being a single mom. That women is my Mother, she is the person that i can trust with my entire life. My best friend, my protector, my queen & amazing human being.
Kyra Gilman • May 11, 2017 at 10:49 AM
My mother is the only person who knows who I really act. She is the one of the reason I continue to stay happy in life. It was all thanks to her and her genes that I got my passion for writing and drawing! When I look into my mother’s eyes, I feel safe and loved.
Katie Wheeler • May 11, 2017 at 10:48 AM
My mom is the greatest person I know, I know that she will always be there for me no matter what and everything she does for me is usually for the greater good for myself. I appreciate everything that she has done for me and my sister.
Dasia Reyna • May 11, 2017 at 10:47 AM
My mom drives me insane, but in the end I know that she is the person I can always rely on to be there for me, to support me, and to show me unconditional love no matter what. She really is my whole heart and without her I don’t know how I would live.
Tanajah Rieara • May 11, 2017 at 10:47 AM
I’m Thankful for my mom pushing me to do bigger and better things. I’m happy that she has faith in me and wants to help me complete my goals. I really thank her for her lessons she has taught me so far. But honestly the fact that she’s alive is the greatest thing ever.
Caeley Hank • May 11, 2017 at 10:46 AM
My mom is literally superwoman. She doubles as a friend and a mom who makes anything possible. Plus she makes some bomb dinners. If you think you have the best mom…. My moms better. #HeatherHartman2017bestmom
Gabby Buchanan • May 11, 2017 at 10:56 AM
mom does make great food!!
Gabby Buchanan • May 11, 2017 at 10:44 AM
A mom is someone everyone should experience having. Not having my mom for the past 8 years and living with my grandma for the past 16 has been a huge challenge. My grandma has been a mom to be for as long as I could remember. She’s been my best friend and the one person that listens to me even when I have nothing to say. I love her with all my heart and wouldn’t want to spend my days with anyone else. Even though I don’t have my mom around anymore my grandma shows me all the “mom love” which I am super thankful for.
Caeley Hank • May 11, 2017 at 1:00 PM
My mom is your mom, I can share, she loves you like her own!
Alefiyah Vahanvaty • May 11, 2017 at 10:42 AM
I am so blessed that I have my mom like my mom. I also think that we really shouldn’t take our mom’s for granted, because there are a lot of people out there who don’t have the blessing of having a wonderful mom. I appreciate really all the times my mom has been there for me to listen to me, and to develop my rational thinking. I remember when I was younger,I was diagnosed with autism, speech development issues,and a low IQ. With the countless efforts that my mom has made today, I am now getting all A’s in my Honors Classes, and taking AP classes next year. I love how my mom encourages learning, and not doing things for a high status or for grades, and how she just wants me to find my passion in life and to find something meaningful. Thank you so much mom, and I love you.
Tyler Swep • May 11, 2017 at 10:41 AM
shout out to every mom for all the hard work they do! This day is well deserved!
Nylah Safforld • May 11, 2017 at 10:20 AM
My mom is the best! I know that she will always be there for me. She knows what I need and what is best for me. I appreciate everything she does!
Mara Batt • May 11, 2017 at 10:02 AM
My mom is the one person that I know I can rely on to be there for me. I know she’ll listen to whatever is on my mind and always have my best interest at heart. It’s duly the most stable relationship in my life, and nothing is more affirming than that.
Lauren Perez • May 11, 2017 at 9:50 AM
My mom is such a great person, she is caring and loving. Sometimes she makes mistakes but when she always makes sure I will never make the same ones. My mom might not be perfect but she is perfect for me.
Lucas Wesselius • May 11, 2017 at 9:47 AM
My mom is amazing, she always is there to support me. She has pushed me to achieve so much, and I don’t know where I would be without her. Thank you mom for all that you have done!
Sierra Tiwari • May 10, 2017 at 11:14 AM
My mom is one of my best friends. I love her so much and appreciate everything she does for me. From driving me to different places and coming home after a long day and making dinner among many other things. I’m extremely thankful to have a mother like her!
