No matter what my mom has been through or what me and my sister have put her through she still cares about us and checks on us constantly.

My niece inspires me. She graduated nursing school yesterday and done so as a single mom to a 4 year old. In the meantime, to support them, she has been a nurse's aide. I see her do all these things daily to make sure she and her son are taken care of. It can't be easy to get to class, learn and study, go to work and wipe and clean dirty bottoms, then make it home to a rambunctious 4 year old. And it don't stop there, once she puts him to bed, there is clothes to wash, meals to plan and prepare and tests to study for. She graduated yesterday with two degrees. She inspires me to realize I just have to put in the effort, the rest will come.

My mother has overcome so many medical issues yet she never stopped smiling or taking care of us. She inspired me always look at the good side.

My mother has inspired me in many ways, but most importantly she has taught me to never settle for less than I deserve. She always motivates me to chase my dreams and stop at nothing because life is short and no moment is worth wasting.

My grandma inspired me to never hold hatred in my heart. I miss her every day!

My mother was the most selfless person I have ever met. She died 18 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think about her and the influence she had on my thoughtfulness towards others.

my mom is still full of life despite the stroke she survived 6 years ago. she says yes to every invitation. she uses a walker and does not have use of her left side but manages to go forward looking really beautiful. Her beauty essentials are Clinique aromatics, mac lipstick, Rimmel lip penci,l Covergirl bronzer and Nailtique Formula 2. A Sephora gift card would be great for her.

My wife, is mom to our 6 kids. She advocates for their special needs. She fights to get their medical and educational needs meet. She never gives up.

My mother passed away 5 years ago a year before my son was born. As a mother I want to be at least 1% the mother she was. She taught me to love unconditionally, have compassion for others and empathy. Having struggled with depression since a teen she took care of me and sought out the best doctors and Care centers for me my whole life even while battling cancer herself and until the day she died. I know that a year after she died she sent me my son to save me as she could no longer do so not being here. I thank her everyday for sending me my miracle baby. She put my health needs before her own even as she was dying and I just want to pass on the unconditional love and care to my son as she did for me. I talk to her everyday and ask her for guidance. I want to install the same values of unconditional love, compassion for others and empathy towards others that she taught me and installed in me to practice in my daily life.

My mother is one of the most inspiring and strongest women that I know. She has always encouraged my sister and I to have confidence.

I have been inspired by my mom to never give up. If in your darkest molest there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I love to remember how super smart, brave, strong and funny my momma was. She inspired all of her children to be kind, giving and tenacious.

Life was good as a child...until my dad suddenly passed away at 44. My stay at home mom got a job and made little money, but our needs were always met. She literally wore shoes with holes in them so my sisters and I could have sleepover birthday parties and buy prom dresses. Instead of helping or complimenting, other people would tell her "children of single parents never amount to anything." All three of us went to college and graduate school. I am a doctor; one sister is a psychologist and the other is a teacher/school executive. She always encouraged us to follow our dreams and be able to support ourselves in the event we became single women or parents. We had our fights, our struggles, but Mom is our best friend and to this day is the one we call for advice, laughs and support. I could not be the woman I am today without the sacrifices and strength she gave me.

My mom has always put her children's needs first, been there for them through their successes and challenges, and listened and provided much needed advice.

My mom was always there for me. Never judges anyone
