Thank your mother

Acknowledging your mom’s love doesn’t have to involve buying stuff. Gifting can be as simple as donating to a cause in her name, going for a walk together, or organizing family memorabilia into an album or DVD. Today, make an effort to show your gratitude in some way.

I’m a broke college student, so i have to be creative when showing love for my mom and dad on their special days. even though i’m in my 20s i love making cards and pictures for my mom (keep in mind i still draw like a 1st grader). mostly i just like being able to spend time with my parents which is getting harder since i go to college outside of my hometown.

My Mom loves just getting cards but I have to be careful because the verse is the most important thing to her. It has to come from my heart, which it does.

Its hard for me to show emotion with my mom because she has always been the one to show so much. I guess at some point in life, I kinda just pulled away. But she is very aware of my uttermost love and affection for her. This morning I got up and surprised her with a hughe breakfast that coffee sitting at her kitchen table nice and warm. I left a card next to the coffee that read ” no matter what I do in this life, I never forget who loves me most. Thank you so much for your unconditional care”. I left this morning before she got up, but I know she got it!

It was really nice being able to thank my mom, gramma, mom-in-law, best friend’s mom, and various other moms in my life. Most importantly, I make it a priority to show gratitude to these wonderful moms in my life on a regular basis. Life is precious and each moment is a real blessing.

I never understood how important my mother and grandmother really were to me until I had my own children. Now I really understand what they went through raising me… I am so thankful!

I cannot think of anyone on this earth that I respect more than my mother.

My mom passed away last year after an extended illness (progressive dementia). I miss her every day, but cherish all the time we had together, especially as she began to lose her memory. Stay strong and healthy and let’s find a cure for dementiaand Alzheimer’s !

MarthaCFE, Your entry made me emotional. I can’t imagine life without my mom. In 2002, she had a near fatal brain hemorrage but she made it through and recovered nicely. I was only 18 years old at that point and was heading to college. Everything stopped when my mom got sick and needed her family with her. I think about that so much and its hard for me to argue with her these days because of the last words I said to her that day, just before she got sick. We were having an arguement and words were being tossed. i told her ” I hate you” and walked out of the house to go have a fun day with my friends and get that arguement out of my head. I regret the rebel i was back then and choose my words very carefully these days. I would have lived a horrible life knowing that my last words to my mom were that I hated her. I think god gives us second chances and I’m so greatful for the second opportunity to be here with my mom. Our relationship is weird because I have a hard time showing emotion but she shows enough for us both!
