The best thing about my mom is that she is always there for me and my sister. No matter how bissy she is she is willing to put all of that asside and make sure that we are okay. I think my mom is different from all other moms because she gave up all of her life for us she was only twenty years old when she had me and she could have just gotten an oborsion but yet she chose to have me and to raise me. When she decided she was going to have me she gave up hanging out with her friends and she has sacraficed so much for my sister and I and that is why I want her to have the best mothers day ever.

She's always there for me, and will always take my side in an argument to make me feel better, like if my friend was mean- she'll agree what happened was wrong.

The best thing about my mom is she always make's sure I'm happy. If I'm stressed out about a math test, she goes over the review and some practice problems with me until I 100% get the whole review, and problems similar. If I have a huge swimming meet coming up but I don't feel well, she doesn't make me go - instead she helps me excerise and stretch at home. My mom is absoloutly the best mom EVER in the whole world because she's helpful, awesome, gorgeous, pretty, beautiful, smart, kind, nice, cheerful, always happy, and the list goes on and on.

The best thing of my mom is that no one how bad I act she still is there for me. I love how she can twist things that are horrible to almost funny. She has been there for me when my friends stray. I love my mom she is like my best friend but better. It's hard to be a teen, she makes it do-able.

I can't tell you the best thing about my mom because I can't even put her in to words. Amazing is the least you can say about her. She's been with me forever and she's my best friend. She's the one that I get mad at, get annoyed at, and even because of that I'll love her forever. She's someone you will want to be friends with and you'd stay friends with forever. I will always love her no matter what. She's the best mom ever. I wouldn't give her up even if someone gave me ∞×∞ dollars. She's gonna be stuck with me forever.

love my mom so much. She doesnt have a short temper and is always making everything a joke and tries her best to make everyone happy. She is not selfish and cares about my problems. She sees right through me when something is wrong and immediately stops what she is doing. She tries to go to all my school events and teaches me the value of a dollar. <3 you mom.. Smile

The best thing that my mom has ever done for me was adopt me from China. Of course, my father took part in that with her. She has told me of how she knelt down with my dad to pray to God and ask Him if their idea was right. Turned out, it was and my parents flew to Asia to bring me home. If it wasn't for her, I might still be in an orphanage today.

My mom will talk to me about anything, so when I have a bad day at school or I need to unplug about the mean popular girls, she is there for me any problems.
She works hard and still takes us to fun classes with her leftover time.
She cares about me and my little brother, trying to do what she can to help us "fit in" or "wear the right clothes."

I <3 you mom!!!!
You're the best. Smile

My mom is absolutely amazing and is alway supportive of what I do, no matter what. I may not always be the best daughter but she is always there for me; whether I'm going through a brake up or staying up until 2:00 A.M. doing homework. I wouldn't be where I am today without her. She helped me through some tough times and because of her I am now a hardworking student, Girl Scout, and actively involved in school. Her love and support pushed me to do my best in everything. She inspires me and is always encouraging me to do my 100%. She is also there whenever I need to talk. I could not imagine life without her, she is the one person who will always be there for me. She is my rock and the best mother anyone could ever ask for. I love her so much.

My mom is the best mom in the world, no doubt about it. In September she got laid off and I have really enjoyed getting to spend time with her, where when she was working she was at work all the time. Of course I am praying she will get a job very soon and I really hope she does, but I have grown so much closer to her! She takes me to every practice, along with my brothers', takes me to all my meets, along with my brothers' games, and she looks for a job full time. Really if there was a definition of a super mom, she would be it. She still gets up at 5, like she did when she worked, just to make our lunches, our breakfast, and take us to the bus stop. She always encourages me, whether it is in gymnastics, school, or life. She is the most loving, amazing mother any girl could ever have. I love her and please pray that she gets a job very soon!

Best thing About my mom:
When i was barely knee-high tall
I'd take some wobbly steps,then fall-
your patience let me struggle just so long.Then you'd bend down to help me stand,aim me right,hold my hand I learned the strength 'cause you were strong...When i was green-as-spring grass young,good common sense spilled off her tongue,by her example i learned right from wrong.She preached about how far we'd come,'bout who i am and where im from I have pride 'cause she was strong...And now that im raised and Still very young the deep devotion that you've shown will be my grounding face my whole life long.The mothering that she supply still gives me roots,still lets me fly i love her becuse she's strong and takes the time to still teach me she cares for me alot

The best thing about my mom, is that she always supports me- even when no on else does! She cares about me and is always trying to help make my day less stressful. For example, there have been many times where she has stayed up with me all night to study for a test, and then in the morning she wakes up early to help get me up pack lunch and make me breakfast. She is so great and we have an amazing relationship where I can tell her anything. She doesn't mind that she has to drive me to all my sports practices, and she comes to every one of my games to cheer me on. She does all these things for all four of my siblings and I, never complaining about how tired she is. I wish she realized just how much she means to me because I don't know what I would do without her!

My mom is da bomb. She's a big fluffy pillow, kind of. We watch movies together (rom coms, musicals... all the girly stuff my dad despises). She is uber concerned about my health and encourages me to exercise in fun ways and eat healthily, but she does fun dance workouts with me, and helps me find yummy health foods. But she treats me to pizza and gelato once in a while if I take a hike with her. Laughing She works hard to clean and manage the house and bake and cook dinner, so we really deserve this. We've been having a hard time lately because of my hormones, so this would help so much. Thanks. Laughing

She went back to school eight years ago and is getting her bchelors degree in a few semesters. She has only been taking a few classes at a time so she can focus on us kids.
