Mothers really do know best!

Growing up my mother and I never saw eye to eye. Everyone always told me that we both looked alike and acted as the same person. I became a wayward teen and constantly fought with my mom and took her for granted. My parents ended up getting a divorce and I was stuck living with my mom. That was the best thing that happened to me. Being on our own together made us have to get along and work together. Years have passed and me and my mom are constantly growing stronger everyday. My mom is my best friend and also a wonderful grandma to my sweet baby boy! My mom shaped me into the woman I am today and I am proud and blessed to have her in my life.
Just leave in your means, don't try to impress others and suffer. Just be happy with what you have, a roof above your head, and food on the table.
My Mom always told me to treat others the way that I would like to be treated and always respect your elders. My Mom unfortunately passed away at the age of 46 from kidney cancer and I try to be like her everyday. She was the best Mom and Grandmother and now I try to be the same. I miss her so much.
I have never appreciated my mom as much as I do now that I have my own child. All the things moms do, give up, deal with etc etc etc just to make sure their own little one is happy, healthy, and living a full life is incredible.
my mother is the epitome of one who never meets a stranger and only says nice things about others
My Mom has taught me to be a strong independent woman, she raised me by herself, she worked 3 jobs and she never had ANY help from the government or anyone else, she taught me if I wanted something I had to work hard for it bit I could have whatever I wanted!!!
My mother taught me that you have to straighten before you have someone come in to clean your house otherwise there will be too much mess or them to be able to come in and clean.
my mom taught me to be compassionate and kind.
I love how strong my mom is mentally and physically, she has endured a lot and still is going strong!!
My mom taught me to treat others how I would want to be treated and I have to say that I'm very thankful for those wise words because, just like her, I have the biggest heart in the world and care so much for others.
Dumbo makes me cry - I love my Mum so much, we used to watch Dumbo snuggled up together
My mom is truely amazing!! She has easy a great example for me and helped me become the wife and mother that I am!
My Mom had numerous health problems and is no longer with us. Unfortunately, I inherited many of her bad health genes and have many of the same problems she had, along with some others. But she showed by example how to live each day as if it is the last, live life to the fullest and above all, stay strong. She was an amazing example and I hope I can be half the woman she was.
I have been so bummed right now and this would be such a blessing and would help us tremendously!!! U have no idea ! Thank u for ur generosity and good luck k to all!
My mom is truly an inspiration! She raised us 3 girls all on her OWN! she has taught me soo much in my lifetime, although we do not always have the best time together, and we fight, i still love her! And I am thankful to have her as my mother she has a lot of medical issues now, and I feel bad for her. But she still manages to keep going..
