My Mom has became my best friend over the last few years. She has stood by my side.
I have lost 2 sons and it has been very rough on me and each time it grew us closer together and showed me even more how important a mother/daughter relationship is.

Shareen said...

My mom would do anything for anyone. She always lets me rope her into my ridiculous projects-and usually ends up finishing them for me :) I love her, and am so thankful to have her in my life.

Allison said...

My mom is always a lap to sit on and a shoulder to cry on. She may not be the most comfortable at expressing her love, but she never hesitates to congratulate me, comfort me, listen to me... I love her.

Dejah said...

My mom has MS, but she is always trying to be active and do things for us. She is beautiful, smart, caring, funny, strong, and talented. She can't do the things she used to, but she tries, and it doesn't matter anyway, because no matter what, we all love her!

McMel said...

my mom is awesome, and she's a wonderful grandmother!! she loves my son so much!

Rachel said...

My Mom is the mother to five girls...and I think it takes a special woman to do a great job doing so. I can only hope to become to my kids what our mom is to all of her girls!

the thrifty ba said...

no mom-but a wonderful mother in law! she has 7 grandchildren, and she makes all of them feel like they are her favorite! (of course mine really are!)
thanks for the giveaway!

Lessons Learned said...

my mom makes me laugh even through her stubborn side. she's been through a lot this year -- most recently with her vision and some of it changing and may not being the same. As artistic as she is, I know she'd always love to see pieces of yours! Happy Mother's Day.

Heather said...

My mom is the BEST! I'm not sure that can even express how much I love my mom! We live a thousand miles apart but she is always there for me.

Mom-mode said...

My mom flew all the way from everything and put her life on hold for a whole month, just be with me as I became a mother myself for the first time. She is the most caretaker I have ever met.

Melissa said...

i would probably go with the one named "a simple i love you would do"... happy friday!!!

Didi said...

Love, love my mother! She has been such a godsend since we moved away from Tulsa. She is always a phone call away and I think we are closer now than we have ever been.

Rita said...

My mom is my best friend, I don't know what I would do without her.

Michelle said...

My Momma had me when she was 15, she's seriously my hero. To keep me and raise me, means soooo much to me. I'd glad I wasn't given to another family bc she was so young. she's my best friend.

Teresa said...

I lost my mother when I was 18 and wasn't able to share all those precious milestones with her. But everyday I feel her with me and see a piece of her in each of my 3 kids and I know she's there watching and guiding me through life. For the short time I had her, she was a true blessing.

Joli said...

My Mom is my best friend!!!!

Swansons said...

My mom has and will do anything for us- we've often taken that for granted but truly do appreciate her more every day

Meg said...

My mom has been there for me for EVERYTHING. She's the strongest woman I know, and I can only hope that one day I can be compared to her.

laura said...

My mom is my shopping buddy! She helps contain my 3 year old so I can look & not be rushed! =)

Kyndal said...

I marvel at the sacrifices my mom made to ensure that my brother and I had the best childhood possible. She is one of my best friends, and I would not be the woman I am today without her.

nutmeg said...

My mom is wonderful. She's downstairs taking a nap, while my little boy naps too. I am able to work from home and see them both on fridays :)

My mom is one of the most creative people I know -- if you can dream it up, she can figure out a way to make it!

1LuvnMama said...

I always thought of my mom as special. As an adult, my relationship with her has grown and we've become closer. Life with her is wonderful! :)

Kyndal said...

I marvel at the sacrifices that my mother made to always ensure that my brother and I had the best childhood possible. She is, and always will be, one of my dearest friends. I am so blessed by her.

Elizabeth said...

My Mother was always there with a smile, a kiss, comfort, understanding. She was always ready for some fun or to just sit and talk with a cup of tea. She was my safe spot, my constant encourager, the one who made it all ok. Thanks Mom.

Molly said...

Love my mama! There aren't enough words to express it!

Lis said...

My mom is always here for me and more importantly my girls. Maddie, my three year old, LOVES going over to Nonna's house.

M said...

My Mum is so great. She adopted all 3 of us at a very young age herself and after dealing with rude comments about having kids of different races, taught us to be tolerant, forgiving and loving.

My Mum rocks!!

Vanessa said...

My mom is strong. She's been a single mom and always puts myself and my sister ahead of any needs she has. She's amazing.

Margaret said...

Hands down, my mom is my hero.

Marla said...

My mom is always making me laugh. I love that the most about her.

Unknown said...

my mom helps me out and takes care of me with everything. I am moving out soon and I know I will miss her like crazy!

Christina said...

This is so nice of you to do for mother's day. Its my mom's birthday on the 20th too so I would really love to win.

Words cannot express the love I have for my mom. My mother is my hero. The strongest person I know. She grew up very poor, one of 12 children on long island and she has had to work for every single thing she has in her life. Since she had nothing growing up, she gave her children everything. She is an inspiration to me in the love she has for God and the way she marvels at the beauty of the world and sees Him in everything. I can only hope to be half as good a mother to my children and half as good a person.

My Mother is my hero. She does the hugest things in life effortlessly. She is beautiful!

Vanessamae said...

My Mom has never been in my life. However, my amazing Grandmother has taken care of me and been there for everything! taking me to cheer practice and helping me finish college. she's in one word FANTASTIC!

Rick*Amber*Taryn*Bryant said...

I could never say enough about how great my mom is! She is my strength, at times my conscience, and my best friend. I have the best mom!

Carla said...

My mom is always there to listen to me, no matter how crazy I get, she always knows what to say.

Stephanie said...

My mom is my best friend. She is my biggest supporter. I can always talk to her about anything and she accepts me for who I am. She is the best!

Karen said...

Even though I haven't lived at home since I left for college at 17 (how did my mom let me go so young?), my mom is never more than a phone call away and always gets to me in record time in a crisis. Always. Every. Single. Time.

Kecia said...

My mom is my best friend. I talk to her every day and entrust her with my own child. She is very nurturing, the best cook, and very crafty. She recently just ordered her first piece from you and it would be nice to give her a gift certificate for more! LOVE MY MOM!!!

Anonymous said...

My mom has been through so much and it has made her the strongest person I know! She is always wanting to help people- no matter how big or small.

Mom of two said...

My mother is my best friend. I have always had a good relationship with her but now as a mother myself I realize just how special our realtionship is. I know that I can call her to help me, talk to her and get advice about anything. Best of all she LOVES being a grandma!!!! God has blessed me with a great mother!

Gorby family blog said...

My mom and I are neighbors and don't go a day without seeing each other. It's so nice to have my mother (aka: built-in babysitter) next door!

bethzheart said...

There isn't enough space here to tell you all that my mother is to me. The main thing is that she is my shining example...of a godly woman, a loving wife, a caring mother/grandmother. Her actions speak so much louder than her words!

Mary Beth said...

My mom is the most amazing woman I know. She has more strength than anyone I know. She is my inspiration. I know that I can always count on her. She has taught me unconditional love and I have learned how to be a mom from her. She is such a blessing. She has been through more than the average woman and she is still standing tall. I love her more than words can say. She is the absolute best!

The Tesdalls said...

I love my mom! She has always been and will always be my best friend. I know I can count on her anytime I need someone to talk to, no matter what it's about! I feel so blessed to have such a close relationship with her!!

Stephanie said...

My mom is strength and love. Simply stated, she is an amazing woman in too many ways to list. I love her!

The Wilson Window said...

I have been truly blessed with a super fabulous mom. I almost lost her last year, so I am thankful everyday she is still here. She has also turned into the best grandmother every!!!!

Heather said...

I am gaining a glimpse of what the Savior meant when he said "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." My Mom has had a HARD life, and she is always putting herself last. She gives 210% of herself to other people, but has never asked "why me?" when time and time again difficult things happen in her life. I have not been able to figure out why such a good person has had to face so much trial in this life, but I am grateful to know the promise from God that even though she has been "last" in this life, she will be "first" in God's kingdom. She is amazing.

Cris said...

my mom has always been my superhero! She's so amazing and I just don't know who I would turn to for support without her!

Kristi said...

My mom is...
There are hundreds of ways that I could finish that statement, but I think perhaps it says it best to leave it unsaid, because I could never fully capture her in a comment.

Shelley said...

My mother is my rock and foundation in my life. She is the one that wiped my nose as a child, and she is the one that kissed my pain away. She is still such a huge part of my life everyday. When people ask who my Mom is I am happy to tell them her name is Barbie and she is my best friend!

Michelle said...

My mama has always been the one who prays for me, who has shown me what it means to be a woman after God's heart! Luv her!!!!!!

Under the Oaks said...

I love chatting with my mom and going to the movies with her. I also love that she is always honest with me.

Chris said...

I couldn't ask for a more wonderful Grandma for my children than my mom! She's the best!

Nichole said...

Oh, my mother - she saw me through a difficult pregnancy, the custody fight for my daughter, my marriage to my wonderful husband, the birth of our son, and the death of my father/her husband.

During this time, she managed to keep running the family business that had been my father's dream - she has learned how to run the entire thing without her partner and friend.

And now I'm blessed to say that I have helped her to find a new love - someone to help fill the hole left by my father's death. My mother.....she is my beautiful friend.

Anonymous said...

My mom was my mother and my father. She worked so hard to give me a good life. Most of all she was a wonderful example of God's love! I love her!!!

Anna said...

My mother and I have not been in much contact since my first child was born. Things have torn us apart---yet, I still admire the love and warmth she showed me as a young child. She'll always be my mother.

Stephanie said...

My mom has struggled for the past 10 years but she's still hanging on and going strong! What a great opportunity to be able to give a gift of yours. Thanks for the opportunity!

Anonymous said...

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to my mom. She gives me guidance, love and still that motherly kick in the butt when needed that only she could do in love!

kris said...

My mom has been my best friend for the longest time. We became best friends when I was growing up and my dad was sick a lot. So I went places with her- I went to visit friends, I went to weddings, etc with her and it helped both of us through that time. She is such a strong woman and I love her so much.

Bridget said...

I love my mommy! She is such a all around wonderful person!

Rach Fairchild said...

I love my mother, she is my best friend and has always been there for me. For Mothers day this year, she will probably be a grandma. I am due on the day before Mothers Day!

Tracy said...

My mom is most definitely my best friend. And I just realized that she doesn't even know this...perhaps it's time I tell her! Mother's Day will be the perfect time to let my mama know she's my BFF : )

Ashley said...

I've always been so thankful for my mom, but never have I felt so close to her as I do now that I have a 4 month old daughter. It's so cool to bond with her mother to mother...it's made our mother/daughter bond so much stronger. I love you Mom!!

Life's Simple Pleasures said...

My mum introduced me to a wonderful author. Books I mean. And since then that author has been my fave.

KristenMc said...

My mom is the strongest woman I know...if I am half the mother she is, I know I've done right by my family. She sacrificed everything to care for my brother, born with Down Syndrome and myself. I could never tell you in just this one comment what she means to me. Just know that she is simply. amazing. :)

dust and kam said...

while i love my mom, this mother's day, my thoughts turn to the birth mother of my 3 week old baby boy. i owe her the world.

Alison Graham said...

my mom is one of my very best friends. i 'm so glad we will have eternity together in Heaven, but for now i'm so glad we live close and my children know and love her on a daily basis!

Alison Graham said...

i know i just commented and only get "credit" for one, but does it help that a necklace from you will be my mom's christmas present this year? just waiting for a niece/nephew to make an appearance before we can submit all the names!!! hahaha....

Melanie said...

My mom is the kind of woman everyone should know. I tease her and tell her that she doesnt have to make a friend EVERYWHERE so goes but truth be told I think it is a very great trait, she takes the time out of her busy day to make a friend or friends everyday. She is thoughtful,kind, loving and an example to all. I hope one day I will relax and not be in too big of a hurry to help a stranger, small take with the woman in line at the store or help someone with there stuff, that is my mom and I am blessed and Proud to call her MINE!!!

Kelly R. said...

My Mom always stands up for me and advocates for me. No matter what, she is always on "my side". I know I can count on her!

Flannery O'Connor said...

My sweet mom comes over twice a week for a few hours at a time to care for our two little ones so that I may have time out of the house by myself to do whatever I want! She has been doing this nearly every week for three years now, since our eldest arrived, and has always been eager, delighted, and thoughtful in her help. I am truly blessed and thankful for her example.

Melanie said...

I just posted my comment and forgot to put my email on it. Just incase I am lucky enough to be picked. I know my mom would love to have one of your beautiful creations she would show it off to everyone :)

I love my mom! She is a wonderful mother and example. She's also the only person who will be completely honest with me - ie: if my hair isn't looking so great - she'll let me know :}

Meghan Fowler (Smith) said...

I lost my mom 10 years ago.. (2 days before my 19th b-day) It was totally unexpected.. Having 2 girls of my own now (1 & 4) I hope to be the best mom to them like my mom was. She was my best friend, somebody who was always there for me.. Give all your mom's a special hug this mothers day!!

Susanne said...

my mom is perhaps the most patient mom there is. even when she was angry, she didn't yell...she whistled!

Emily said...

My mom is the most unselfish person I know. She's the best!

Stacy said...

My Mom is the definition of service. She would remove her right arm and give it to someone if she thought it would help them in some way. (Luckily she wouldn't be able to, since she needs her arm!) I'm very grateful for my Mom's example of love for others.

Rachel said...

My mom is one of the smartest and hardest working women I know- she was always there to help me with my math homework! :)

My mom taught me the kind of mother I want to be. I strive everyday for my children to know just how much I love them.

My mom is my biggest fan. We lost my father seven years ago - this sunday- and without each other, we would not have made it. She is my bestfriend and I always know I can count on her, for anything!

rockchelle said...

My mom did everything with my best interest in mind, even though I didn't agree with that until now. She is my best fried and the best mom in the world!

Designer Jules said...

My mom and I are very much alike and I work with her and my Dad. Because we are so much alike that sometimes that makes things hard but I love getting her opnion on things and she always stands behind me in all that I do.

MaryG said...

Ah my Mom... what can I say? She's the best! And an amazing Grandmother to my daughter.

Laura Waltz said...

My Mother is one of my best friends. She has always been there for me my entire life, and I'd love nothing more than to give her a gift certificate to your shop so that she could pick something out (she never buys herself anything). This Mother's Day I'm getting all my siblings and my father to write her letters of how much we love, appreciate, admire her. Then I'm going to create a book through one of those photo websites, and that way she can always have a reminder of how special she is!

Judy@cutest-little-things.blogspot.com said...

I see my mom's smile in my three year old son and feel her spirit with me every day. She passed away when I was in my teens and never got to see me marry and become a mother, myself.

tara said...

I think my mom and I have been best friends since I was born. Of course she mothered me, but we always told eachother everything and relied on eachother. She raised both my sister and I in a way that makes us both just want to be mommies oursleves so that we can keep sharing that bond :) I love my mommy and her strength and kindness is an inspiration to me!

angela said...

My mom watched my daughter for 22 months until I became a stay at home mom. I can never repay her enough for giving me that peace of mind.

Sarah said...

My mom and I have never really been that close, but I'm happy to say that since I've gotten married and had kids, our relationship has changed.
I made a conscious effort to not be the same person with her and to not accept the same things from her and our relationship is a good one now.
We really enjoy each other's company, my children love her to pieces and I know she loves them more than anything!
So, what's special about my mom? She's great at finding deals at resale shops, thrift stores, garage sales and estate sales! She has quite the knack with bargains!

Rebecca said...

My Mother was born in 1928. She was the only girl born to DeAlva and Duncan. She has two older brothers. She has gone through the fires with me. She is strong and lovely. Even in her 80's, she has a great sense of style and grace. We are closer now than ever. She birthed me when she was 38 (I am her 5th child). She was in the delivery room when I was 38, delivering our triplets. I adore her. She inspires me to be faithful to friends, kind hearted, and above all, love God. Her name is Barbara Eloise. I am proud to be her daughter.
xoxo,
Rebecca

My mom the Saint. Ten kids, SEVEN girls, one child lost, twenty nine grandchildren, multiple broken bones, tears, fights, fights, fights, and still, through it all...she wouldn't change it for the world. Unconditional love!

My Mom has such a huge heart and is the best! She is always there when I need her.

My mom is my best friend!!! Even though I put her through a lot when I was younger, she loved me through it!!!! She is still here for me today and our relationship and friendship grows stronger each year!!! I am so blessed to have her as my mother!!!

Kristina said...

"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." ~Desmond Tutu

Isn't this saying so true! My mom is the BEST. She was a single parent raising 3 girls, holding down 3 jobs at a time all the while enstilling in each of us the compassion, unity, love, forgiviness, selflessness that she carried while doing it on her own. She is awesome, as a mother myself I hope that I am able to live up to half of the woman she is! She is AMAZING and I am blessed she is my MOTHER.

P.S. I blogged before and it didn't show up and I also tweeted about this too!

HAPPY EARLY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF THE UNBELIEVABLE MOTHERS!

Jan said...

Despite the fact that my mom is pretty reserved (reticent is a good word) and rarely effusive, I have always known she loves me despite my failings, especially during my teenage years. I am so grateful for her -- and to still have her on earth when she's 85 years old is a sweet gift.

Robin said...

My mom finally joined Facebook a handful of months ago and I've had a lot of fun using it to catch up with her. :)

Amyloo said...

My mom is my best friend and biggest support. She has continued to support me thru all of my ups-and-downs, back-and-forths and good-and-bads She is truly a person to look up to - and my goal is to be as wonderful a mom to my own two boys!

Linda said...

I miss my mom so much---it's been 8 years since she died of ovarian cancer. She was one of those people who always saw something good in everyone---no matter how small and she taught me to see the beauty in nature and other small things.

Sharon said...

Hi I love your jewellery.
It must be very exciting for you moving to the next stage of a shop.

My mother is no longer physically here but she is in my heart..
I would love one of your necklaces to wear close to my heart.
I just have a love of Pearls. I love the beauty and simplicity of them and choose Pearl earrings over fancy any day.
Although until writing this I have not connected that there might be a deeper reason.
Pearl is a family name passed down the generations.
My mother was Joycelyn Pearl
Her mother my grandmother was Madeleine Pearl.
Her mother was Pearl(my great grandmother.
Even though I am an only daughter my mother never passed it onto me but my cousin Catherine has the Pearl name.
I guess names and words are much more powerful then we realise.
I know I often think of my mother as my Pearl my "Pearl of Great Price"
Thank you for your inspiring beautiful jewellery.

Anonymous said...

Mt mom taught me the importance of thank you every day in life, not just on special days. I have passed on her wisdom to my 3 sons and am in awe when I see the wonderful young men they are from morning to night!!!
I am especially thrilled when outside people comment on how well mannered they are..it goes back to my MOM who role modeled it for me.
I am known to write thank you notes for thank you notes. XOXOXOOXO Mom

Joy said...

My mom is such a role model to me! She is always serving others without complaint. She has dealt with a lot of physical pain between her arthritis and horrible knees but she never complains. She watches my son for us while we work to make ends meet- she is older and can't walk very well but she is so good with him- he loves her so much! I'm so grateful she is finally getting knee replacements so she's not in constant pain. If anyone deserves something nice it's my mom!

Unknown said...

Happy Mother's Day to all! What a special day it is...my mom is my best friend and my strength. At 28 I have still not outgrown her lap. Each night I tell my mother she is "the wind beneath my wings" That is why I felt so blessed to give birth to my own daughter in January. I only pray that she and I can have the same beautiful relationship. As an army wife, we have relocated to a different base and I will sadly be away from my own mommy this Mother's day, but I feel so fortunate to have my daughter to celebrate such a joyous day.
Wishing everyone a very blessed Mother's Day!!

Katherine said...

My mom is amazing. My second son was born last Friday and has been in the NICU since then. She immediately made plans to stay at our home with our older son and has helped us keep it together when we felt like falling apart. I can't imagine how we would have coped without her help.

SoBella Creations said...

The most special thing about my Mom is her loving me and my sister no matter what. She never criticizes me. She is always available to offer advice. But, only when you ask for it.

mrs. potato head said...

Being a mom myself, I now value my mother more than ever - its the toughest job but the best - Emery and Ava, thanks for calling me momma! I love being your mom and I am so proud of you, Each day is a treat to spend it with you - Happy Mother's Day to all moms!

My mom always let us make a mess! We could get out Tinkertoys, Lincoln Logs, and all sorts of things to make wonderful creations in the living room. She made big paper mache projects with us, let us have tons of pets, and all sorts of fun things like that. I love that she let us live life rather than worrying about mess. :)

My Mom is a "can do" kind of woman! She can fix anything and never backs away from a challenge. :)

My mom... love her to death. I used to talk to her everyday... seems that life gets in the way. After thinking about her and writing this... I certainly need to change that!

Shannon said...

My mother has had a rough year. She has had to lean on me for support lately, and I am so glad to be there for her. She made me who I am and I love her!

My mom is one of my dearest friends. We've been through a lot together as she has battled breast cancer on and off for 12 years.

I look up to my mom as a role model. I hope I am a mother like her. She is my best friend.

Stephanie said...

My mom is a wonderful and caring woman. She would do absolutely anything for her kids and has such a soft heart for my little boys. She gives of herself in so many ways I don't know how I could possibly thank her, but I'll keep trying!

My Mama died unnecessarily in September 2008 and I miss her so much! I was 28 at the time and my first child was 8 months old. I miss her so much every day! I was just becmoing a mother and losing mine, it was very difficult, and still is. A friend of mine sent me a little saying during that time. I can't find exactly the way it was worded, but it went something like this.... A mother teaches you to be a mother, daughter, sister, and friend. But, we never get taught how to be all these things without her! So true!! I hope I am half the mother mine was to me in her short time! I love and miss her so much. Take everyday as if it is your last.

Jodie said...

I lost my mom 5 years ago to cancer. I miss her more everyday especially now that I have a son of my own. She was SO AWESOME!! I hope I can be half as good of mother to my own son as she was to me growing up.

My step-mom was a blessing. Growing up in a house with a Dad and brother, I really needed that Mother figure in my life. She saved me and taught me many invaluable lessons.

Linda J said...

My mom is no longer alive. It's amazing how often I miss her.

Unknown said...

My mom is an incredible, strong, Christian woman. She has modeled for me what it is to be an amazing mother.

Holly Moore said...

I never realized how much my mom loved me, I mean really really loved me, until I had my own children.

Ashleigh said...

My mom chose to have me. Pregnant in the mid-70's, not yet married, a high school senior. The least I can do is rejoice in all the Lord has done for me!

Heather said...

My mom is always there, good times & bad, she's there. Love her!

Jessie Larsen said...

My mom is my biggest support and my role model as a parent, and as a person in general! I love her more than words. Thanks!

Unknown said...

My mom is truly my hero. She looked breast cancer in the eye and said, "Go ahead, take my breast."

She proved to me that a sad diagnosis from the doctor isn't the end of the world NOR does losing a breast make you any less of a woman.

I love her dearly, I talk to her daily...she is me, I am her. ;)

Kaelin said...

My mom is my rock. I hope that one day my children can look up to me as much as I look up to my mom. She is my inspiration and my best friend.

christa said...

i love that my mom can give me confidence and reassurance about all the things going on in my life, she also can put things into perspective and gives me great advice...whether i want it or not! love you mom!

Unknown said...

My mom is a giving person who is always looking for a way to bless someone with a meal, a little gift, or just something to brighten their day. I am SO looking forward to my parents visit down here next month!

Trina said...

My mom died in 2000 from a long fight with cancer. I miss her so much as she was always there for me when I was growing up. Love you, Mom!!!

Jackie said...

my mom is awesome. Even though I live half way across the country (and even farther with the first) she was there for the birth of both of my children. She is also a wonderful Grama.

Kodi said...

My mom is so special because she was a great mom and now she's an even better grandma!

My mom is an amazing woman who loves her kids, her grandkids, and her husband of 40 years--my dad! What a blessing to our family to have that legacy of love!

I love my mom! Having little ones of my own has helped me understand how much she loves me and why moms give their all. Family is a sweet blesing.

My mom is my best friend I see her 6 days a week... She is also the best gigi to my 14 month old son as well as his soon to be preschool teacher (2 more months hooray!). She just plain takes good care of us!

BFree said...

My mom is my hero. I am a new mom and I have a deep appreciation for all women and all mothers. Bravo!

Debra said...

My mom magically went from being my number one source of embarrassment as a teenager to being my number one friend as an adult. I'm thankful she still loves me even after my teens. I love my mom!

Kuparstwn said...

My mom is the best person I know. She's there if I need her but not over-bearing. When I had my daughter she made sure I knew she was around if I wanted help but didn't force herself into the situation either. She is generous, loving, kind, and an all around fabulous person.

my Aunt's motherly heart has made all the difference in my life ~ she has been the the mom that loves, gives & protects..............an amazing example of what I hope to be for my own children

I love hanging with my Mom so much that I bought a home 7 houses from her & I talk to her everyday rather in person or on the phone!!! I LOVE you Mom Thanks for all you have done for me:)

Marty Wolsey said...

My Mom is willing to drop everything to help in time of need. Last fall my husband was really sick, and she took care of my 3 boys for weeks, while I was with my husband. She loves me, and she loves my children almost as much as I do.

Heather said...

My mom is a great example to me of showing equality with all of her children. All of my sibs and I always felt loved the most and the best.

I couldn't imagine my life with out my mother. She is my best friend and the woman I stive to be most like in this world.

Kathy said...

My mom has been busy raising children for years. She's still juggling kids in the nest, schooling, maintaining a home and balancing everyone elses lives. It's so nice to know that at 30, I can still call home and count on bending her ear with my troubles and she is always there and always willing to help when I need it. How selfless is that! Here's to a woman who puts everyone else before her!

Marilyn (A Lot of Loves) said...

My mom is the parent that stuck around. She did her best to be there for me through the years and I appreciate that.

there is no one that brings more comfort at times than my mom. She is so predictable that it is comforting!!

I love my mom! She's had it rough over the years but her love has never faltered. She is a wonderful Grandma to my kids and I know that I can always count on her.

Heather said...

I LOVE my mom!

mama ciera said...

My mom is my best friend, we have always been close but as soon as I became a mother myself, our bond as grown so much. She is the one I turn to first for any questions or advice. I love you, Mom!!

charlotte said...

I ordered one of your necklaces for my mother for mothers day. I know she will love it!

We share a special connection because I am her only daughter. She has always found fun things for us to do together even when I was in Jr. High and I didn't like her very much. She has taught me patience and understanding through love.

wishes, true and kind said...

My mother instilled in me a love of fabric and creating. She loved me unconditionally and was always my biggest fan. She lived a beautiful life and touched so many lives, and she died with grace and dignity. She will have been gone 15 years in August, but I've never totally gotten over the loss of her. She was also such a wonderful grandmother to my children, even though they were still so young when she died and didn't get to know her long. I still think of her so often, especially when I sewing on her machine or finishing a project that I know she would love. She was one of a kind.

Our Adventures As A Family of 4.... said...

I love my mom she raised me mostly as a single mom and has been a best friend to me all my life. Now she is in failing health and it's so sad to think of her not 100%. I will always love my mom.
