The greatest thing about my mom is that she taught me that there is no reason a woman can’t function entirely on her own. One day she told me “You need to be able to take care of yourself, and fixing a clogged toilet is proof of that. Get on some glove, we have work to do.” Ha! Love my mom.
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was talking to her about college, the career I thought I was going to pursue and what I ultimately wanted to do. She is a nurse and had encouraged me to look into that career field so one of my earlier semesters in college I had taken Anatomy, Chemistry, Statistic, Philosophy, and a Ceramics class. I found most of my time spent working in my ceramic class and despite an interest still in the sciences I just knew that I may not be cut out to do nursing. While I was talking to her on the phone she had said, ‘Do what you love and the money will follow.” Instead of looking for a career/job that would pay the big bucks I selected to do what I knew I would love. The next day I changed my major over to a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and I thank her for that support and encouragement in my decision.
My favorite memory was when my mommy made me a pleated red polka dotted dress, and at the end, she made a mini one for my beloved teddy bear too, so we can match even though it was a boy with a bow-tie and suit like fur. That was my one and only dress she ever made me, if i knew i would have kept the dresses.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when I dragged her with me to go to Open House. This why I can go with her to my second grade class to show her my letter of why I loved her. The letter had said the little things I had loved about her. This happened many years ago, but we recently cleaned out our house, we found the letter, which also came with a picture I drew of her, and thought of the old good memories. I’m not sure if we have it now because we just moved, but I think she kept it. Back then, life was much simpler and we wouldn’t have fights on things about school and personal issues. Sometimes I wish I can just go back to those times. But, I know she still loves me now. Even with all our constant bickering and fights.
I don’t have a relationship with my mother, but one of my favorite memories was of my “mamaw” and I sharing a Twix while she knitted and I watched cartoons sitting on a pillow in the floor next to her in her chair.
My favorite memory with my mom was when she and I were sitting in our car, waiting for my dad to come out of the store. I was still in high school, then, and determined to oppose my mom on EVERY subject (boys first and foremost). She suddenly turned to me in our awkward silence and told me to listen carefully to the next song she was going to play. “Fix You” by Coldplay came through the speakers. My momma told me that the song reminded her of me, that she raised such a strong young woman and that it hurt her to see me broken (about a boy). It was then that I realized just how “in tune” she was with what was going on in my life, and that she had so much wisdom to share. At that moment I decided that things were going to be different between us. I still have a lot of growing up to do, but I’ve continued to let my mom help shape me into the strong woman she always told me I was. That night, my mom became my older sister and one of my very best friends. She is my most loved secret weapon 🙂
Me and my mother never got along as we grew older. We drifted apart so much to the point that to this day we both don’t even like each other. I remember my fondest memory of her was when I was a little girl she would always wait for me to finish brushing my teeth and then she would dress me in the strangest clothing ever, but I didn’t mind. I liked it, I really liked the fact that she took time out of her day just to dress me in clothes that she deemed fashionable, although the fashion police surely would have arrested my little 7 year old self haha. But what I loved the most, was the way she did my hair. I remember going to school with different hair styles and accessories everyday and whenever someone asked who did it for me? I would tell them my mama did, and I’d be so proud of her and giddy all day. I really miss it, I miss the relationship we had, but deep down I love my mother with all my heart, I just wish that I was able to show it. I love you mom xoxo.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep.
My favorite memory of my mom was when i brought home some green face masks and my sister cindy, me and my mom put them on and ran outside to scare my dad, it was funny because he wasnt expecting it. I love when we do things like this because me and mom never really got along that well and we barely did things like this when i was younger so it really feels great when my mom and I bond, along with my younger sister. <3
I don’t just have one special memory of my mother but I have a whole lifetime of memories that are special. My mother is now 79 years old and battling cancer. This tares me up inside knowing that she may not be around much longer and those memories will be all I have left of her. I’m so blessed that she is the best mom any one could ever have. Cherish every moment you have with your mother this Mother’s Day and every day afterwards. You never know how long you have. God bless all of us mothers out there. Happy Mothers Day.
The best memory I have with my mother is being taught to be a mother by a wonderful role model. It has been a long journey being a mother, full time college student, full time worker, and having an intern ship but with her encouragement and support it was possible. I will be graduating in a couple of days with a double major and thank my mother each and everyday for all her help. It has been a bumpy road but also the best memory I had with my mother.
Each day I’m able to spend time with my mom is a memory I will always cherish. She is a very strong woman and have taught me how to make my haters my motivators.
My favorite memory I have of my mom is every day that I get to spend with her. She truly inspires me to be the best person I can be in my life. And although we have had our differences (as a true Mother/Daughter relationship works), we still find our common ground: Love.
HI MY POOR BEAUTIFUL MOM PASSED AWAY 4 yrs ago but it seems like 4 months ago she suffered badly from breast cancer and bone cancer . I just wanted to write that on one day she snd i went to the beach and it was very cloudy so we waited for clearer skies but uh uh!! Nothing so they were crows around and we could hear them saying ehh ehh meaning like when some one says no no with the sound uh uh!! So i said to her mom they r telling us UH UH!! No sun she laughed so hard and for the longest time after i would tease and tell uh uh !! It was our joke . Oh i forgot so we left the beach and went shopping !!! I miss her so much , love you mom!!!!luv, Annamaria Happy Mothers Day!!!
My favorite memory of my mom was on my wedding day last June. She was the calm collected one, while I was trying to appear that way though was having a mini melt down on the inside. She was fantastic at making sure the center pieces were just as I had wanted them and that the butterflies (that we released during the ceremony) were still alive. There are so many reasons why that special day was so special – and it certainly wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing mom.
My mom gave up on me when I was 13 years old, I resented her for a long time, until I became a mom..I now know what not to do. My boys are awesome they are my world and because of what I went through I know how to be the best mother they could have. WE ROCK <3 Happy mothers day to all my beautiful strong mommies!!!
My favorite memory of my mom is actually one of our favorite ways to spend time together. Occasionally there are nights in my house when my brother is staying with his father and we know my stepdad will be working late. We go out and buy frozen yogurt and chocolate chip cookies and we curl up on the couch together. We spend the whole night watching movies and shows with our favorite actors in them and gossiping like a couple of high school best friends. Its when I feel closest to my mom and I know I can tell her anything. We share so much on those nights.
I think my Mom has become more of a blessing to me than ever when I became a mom. She graciously took the job of babysitting both of my children 40 hours a week, while I pursued my career in higher education. She has always been there nurturing my children, teaching them, training them, loving them with every ounce of her heart “in my place” while I worked to provide for them. I would never have been able to pursue my passion without her here to help me along the way! She’s the best Mom ever!!!
My favorite memory with my mom was when I was five years old and we went shopping. She let me pick out my first dress on my own. I picked out a glittery purple dress with tons of ruffles. I wore this dress every other day until it didn’t fit me. I still have it and I feel a sense of independence everytine I see it hanging in my closet. My mom encouraged me to be myself growing up and has always been so supportive of me. We still go shopping every other weekend and I would love to share a shopping spree at LuLu’s with her!
It’s so hard to think of a single favorite memory, because I have so many great ones with my mom. Everyday is a new amazing memory. One of my favorites will definitely be watching Russian “Cinderella” together while drinking tea in bed when I was young. It was thunder storming and I would always get scared of the thunder but loved watching the pouring rain. After the movie ended, my mom and I sat on a bench by my window and watched it pour down. Then she sang me a Russian song to put me to sleep and we would fall asleep together… sometimes awkwardly butt to butt and my mom would call that the “butterfly” sleeping position! My mom sacrificed many things to give me an opportunity for a better life when she immigrated from Russia to America. There isn’t a day that goes by that lets me forget. <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she came to visit me at college and a some asshole was mean to my roommate so she made him cry. Haha she’s way cooler than me.
My favorite memory of my mom and I was around the age of 5. My dad was just coming home from a tour in Iraq and my mother and I had a lot of bonding time between then. She was about to visit Vegas with her parents and other family members. She asked me if I wanted to go with her but I was too scared to ride on a plane. About 2 days after she left I began to have separation anxiety and wanted to be with her again and asked my dad if my sister and I could fly to Vegas with her. My dad allowed it and I was reunited with my mother. I had a blast with her in Vegas, even though I couldn’t participate in most adult activities.
When I was about 5, my mom and I would have a morning ritual. I would help her get dressed (because I have good taste) and we would sing/dance to Motown songs together. My mom loved a little bit of everything so every morning was always a suprise. It would go from Barry White to old school Michael Jackson or Diana Ross and the Supremes. Thus began my musical education.
My favorite memory with my mom was our Sunday outings when I was young. Every Sunday morning, without fail, we would go on an outing together. Sometimes it would be for breakfast, other times for shopping, or maybe just a walk in the park.
Even then I knew the importance of the outings and that they were a special time for us to share. My mother passed away in 2011 from ovarian cancer and I’m so glad I have these memories to look back on.
my best memory with my mommy is as a little girl I had play dishes and a tea cup set and she would make breakfast foods and serve it on the play dishes and sit at the play table with my sisters and I and play and eat with us haha! we would have Iced tea in the tea cups…now as adults we all sit and have coffee together and its always a great time! ah I love her!!!!!!
My mum is a huge country music fan and a few years ago line dancing was all the rage where I grew up in Ireland. Even though it was an adult class in a hotel reception room and I was 11 my mum used to bring me with her for our girly time. It was great cos I was the eldest of five children and so I never really got me and mum time except for that.
My favorite memory of my mom is the mother-daughter vacation right before I got married. We went to New York City for two nights and it was the most wonderful time. We saw Wicked and ate cupcakes and just had the most amazing time together.
My mom and I are both into running, and one of my favorite memories was training for and completing a half marathon together. It was an awesome feeling of accomplishment, and such a great thing to share as mother and daughter!
My favorite memory with my mom is just her being her she’s always been such a strong women with her not finishing high school it’s no wonder how she would maintain a job as a supervisor and provide for 4 children on her own but she did it. There were times when we would eat and she wouldn’t because it wasn’t much to eat. No matter the cost she made it happen for us. I can’t always say we had all of our wants but we definitely had all of our needs. Life with her reflected on me very much as now im a Soldier in the US Army raising 3 sons of my own and I would never been able to be as strong and as brave as I am without the training an teachings of my Mother.
Over the years I have had multiple moments with my mother that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Although, my most treasured memory with my mother occured a few years ago. My mother had been hospitalized for a while, and the doctors could not figure out exactly what was making her so ill. I am from a very small community and our hospital often does not provide us with the medical equipment that we need. Therefore, my mother had to been flown out to another city on an emergency flight. We were told that she had a very little chance of surviving, so saying goodbye to her would be in our best interests. The moment I saw her, I instantly thought to myself, “This is the last time I will see my mommy alive”.. So I sat on the bed with her and she held me close and told me how much she loved me, and that she promises to see me again someday. A month later, my mother recovered and has been doing excellent ever since. That moment with my mom will always be remembered and cherished for the rest of my life.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is making rice crispies treats when I was younger. It was so much fun mixing and forming those treats into so many different shapes <3
I think one of my favorite memories of my mother and I is from back in the summer after my sophomore year of high school when we both decided that we wanted a major change of scenery in our lives and picked up and moved to a completely different state! It was very spontaneous and unlike us, but I’ve never regretted our decision to move; it was one of the best I think we’ve ever made.
My mom is definitely my best friend and we talk to each other about everything. She is the definition of a wonder woman and I look up to her so much! One of my favorite memories was when a wasp was flying around me and my little sister out on the deck and she just came up and backhanded that bee! No fear! Nothing messes with my mom haha. She has always looked out for us and would do anything for my siblings and me. I love my mom! <3
Well I only met my mom for the first year of my life, so I don’t have any memories of her to my knowledge. She died by accident because some nurses at the time were not doing their job. From what everyone says, “She was awesome”. I don’t really care for Mothers Day due to this. I do believe we were much alike because every time I do something people just stare and say ” You look just like your mom” . I miss her dearly and would love to have written a more happy story but in reality my only memories are the ones I dreamt I had.
My favorite memory of my mom is probably the day she decided she wanted me to be independent she told me I needed to learn how to mow the yard (we have 4 acres so we have a ride on mower) I was out there for four hours and when I was done I was so proud of myself I ran in the house and told mom to go see she said ” you didn’t mow the grass” it turns out I was out there for four hours and didnt realize that I never put the blade down! Mom always reminds me and we always laugh about it.
The most favorite memory that I have of my mom And I was when I was about 9yeArs old and we went to Coney island And she let me get on all the rides and I are all of the candy And junk food that I wanted. She died when I was 10 so that’s one of the last but most favorable moments for me
The best memory I have of my mother and I is her helping me throughout my whole pregnancy with my first child 2 years ago. She would bring me juice every night and she would sort all the new clothes we received by age and even ironed every single outfit. She came with me to all my doctor appointments. She was so excited and so very helpful. I don’t know what I would have done without her support ♥ Best mom/grandma ever! LOL =)
My Mom has always been a little more… let’s say “open” than most. One of my favorite memories comes from when I was about 10 years old. My family and I (also consisting of my father and 2 brothers) were on vacation, and on the way we stopped at a Wal-Mart. As we were walking in, and I have no recollection of why we were talking about this, my mother starts discussing what to do in a situation where I am being hit on in an unwarranted manner. The situation she describes (which was so detailed that it MUST have happened to her in the past) is one where I am walking by the pool in my bathing suit, and some guy I don’t know grabs my butt. She advises me that I should handle this situation by screaming out loudly enough for everyone in the area to hear “DON’T GRAB MY F***ING ASS!!” Of course this only makes me and my brothers laugh, and thankfully I’ve never been put in that situation, but I’ve always looked back at that moment and thought about how strong, funny, and resourceful my mother is!
It was my 6th birthday and I wished and wished every night leading up to my birthday that my mom would come and see me, she lived in the USA and I was living in Trinidad at the time. Well on my 6th birthday when I woke up my mom was sitting on the side of my bed!! I was so happy to see her I couldn’t ask for a better mom or a better birthday present..
I love my mom..
My favorite memory of my mom is when we found out she had beat cancer for the second time around. I can still remember holding each other and jumping up and down with tears of joy in our eyes. My mom is not only my role model but my best friend and I’m thankful for every day she is here with me.
My mom always told me, “you have to work hard for everything you want! Be independent!” I started working at age 16 and thanks to what she taught me I was able to get through a really rough time in my life! I am today a very independent single mother! Work a full time job and my son is well taken care of! Thank you mom!
My most favorite moment is when my mom at 30 set me down at 9 to prepare me for life, knowing she did not have much time left here on earth. She passed two months later. She told me, 1. Try to always look my best because I never know who may be watching 2. Always wash my panties out by hand & dried them before throwing them in the dirty clothes hamper to prepare for a good wash. She probably said this because I shared it with five brothers, lol 3. Always wear a slip when wearing a dress/skirt. Of course nowadays, many have them built-in 4. Wear black undergarments with anything white and last but not least 5. How to part and do my own hair (make ponytails). I still use/do these things today. I know my fashion sense came from her…Love & Miss You Momma
My favorite memory with my mom (so far) has to be the hiking trips we’ve taken. For the last 3 years we’ve picked a different mountain in the Adirondacks and climbed it during the fall with all the trees in peak colors. We get great pictures and lots of time to talk and be grateful for our surroundings. 🙂
My mother died when I was younger so I don’t remember everything about her. But I do remember when she had cancer she would still cook dinner for us, this one time we had a “taco night” so she made tacos for us in her hospital bed. It was so much fun and she kept laughing and tickling us. I remember she used to always tell us that everything happened for a reason and the God gave us all angels to keep us safe. She was an amazing woman and she was a blessing to everyone around her.
When I was a little girl I would look forward to lunch every day at school. I vowed never to open my lunch box until lunch time because every day my mother would write me a sweet note on my napkin and at the end of the note she would always write, “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!” The notes were so special to me and helped get me through my day! If for some reason my mom forgot to write me a note I would be heartbroken! To this day my mom still writes me notes (text messages) and says the same saying before she goes to bed. It always makes me feel like a little girl again. Recently, she told me that I’m the only one she says that too, as I’ve always thought she used to say it to my sister too, but she told me she saved that saying just for me, which makes me feel even more special! Love you mom!
Greatest memory of my mom is she used to help me make paper ships and my dad worked by the harbor in Boston and I remember she let me throw the paper boats into the water Love my mom!
My favorite memory was the first time I said “I love you” to my mother.
I’m not the type to really tell my parents “I love you”
So I had a traditional Filipino 18th birthday and mom and I worked so hard to put my 18th birthday together. We would bicker and at times argue then we would laugh and then agreed with our ideas.
when the actual birthday finally came, I could not believe how beautiful everything was my mother worked so hard.
Then I finally had to make a speech to my audience and to thank them.
I thanked my mom last and then I started to tear up because I will soon be on my own and by myself in college. I realized I love my parents so much that I said “I love you so much mom” in front of everyone for the first time.
A moment that I never forgot.
I think my favorite memory of my mom is from when I was really little. It’s not really a visual memory so much as the memory of a feeling. I remember lying in my crib with my mom singing to me, a lullaby to help me to go to sleep, asong about all the animals in the world going to bed one by one. I felt so safe and loved, and the tune is still with me even today.
My favorite memory of my mom was when I was 10, a few months before she passed away she took me out for a mother daughter day, we went to lunch, an amusement park and then out to dinner. It was great having a day to myself with my mom and i wish she was still here so we can do it all again.
I have a ton of wonderful memories of my mom and I but I would like to share an experience she and I had when I was born. I was born prematurely weighing 2 pounds. The Doctors told my mother that I wouldn’t live long after she gave birth. They released her from the hospital but she wouldn’t leave. She was determined and sure she would be taking me home. To make a long story short, days, weeks and months went by and here I am living breathing and healthy as ever! My mother’s L♥VE is what kept me alive!
My favorite memory of me and my mom will always be when I do her makeup and hair. She never did that growing up and knowing I can make her feel beautiful brings me great satisfaction. I’m a makeup artist by the way so she loves it when I pamper her. Seeing her face light up after a makeover makes me so happy and it’s those memories I will treasure forever because she deserves it. She’s a QUEEN!!!
My favorite memory I have of my mom happens over and over again each day. She reminds me that life could be worse and to always show others the kind heart I was given.
My favorite memory of my mom her sacrificing all of her time and energy to work 2 jobs to support my brother and I. She sacrificed not tucking us in at night or getting us ready for school in the morning, as she was always at work on en route to work. She sacrificed not having a car (hence taking 2 buses for her commute one way, meaning 4 buses round trip), so she could put food on the table and clothes on our backs. She sacrificed not having a social life, as she was always working, and when she wasn’t working, she was spending time with us. That’s my favorite memory, seeing her work so hard and sacrifice so much, just so we could have a normal childhood and enjoy and do all the things that all of the other children on our block did, such as wear decent clothes, go to amusement and waterparks, go on school field trips (which were only available to those who were able to pay the fees), and going to childrens concerts, such as sesame street, barney & friends, etc. My mom made sacrifices to ensure we had fun childhoods filled with memories that would last forever.
One time all my friends were having a New Year’s Eve party and didnt invite me, I was pretty upset that night and just wanted to go to bed but my mom wanted me to have a good night, we took our two living room couches and pushed them together forming a makeshift bed and watched movies all night, it might not have been extravagant but it was a great way to bring in the new year and I wouldn’t have changed it for anything, plus one of the kids at the party was sick and all my friends were coughing and sneezing for weeks after the party! Love you mom!
There are soo many great memories of me & my mom what I love most about her is her ability to separate mom from friend when need be. She has taught & given me so much I’ll never be able to fully show my gratitude I love her so.
One of my favorite memories with my mom: I was helping her clean our apartment and we blasted Elvis and started dancing and lip syncing– it was hilarious to see ourselves, we ended up laughing so hard there were tears. Always the best to have an unexpectedly good time with her doing something that’d be so bland without each other!
Shopping with my mom, cooking with my mom, laughing with mom, arguing with my mom, crying with my mom…the list of memories I hold close to my heart are endless..but I remember 1 night in particular, I was going through a transitional phase in my life, and my mom asked me to walk with her.. It was a perfect night, the air was warm, the skies were clear and the smells & sound of the waves hitting the shore were so therapeutic..We didn’t say a word to each other,but she held my hand tight like she used to when I was a little girl and didn’t let go all night – my mother – my rock – my heart.
I have so many wonderful memories with my mom. One of my favorite memories is taking a cruise to the Bahamas with my mom. It was the first cruise for both of us. We had a blast eating the delicious food, participating in shore excursions, shopping, and spending some mother/daughter time together. Looking at the pictures reminds me of what a wonderful mother I have!
My mom always took me on dinner dates when I was little. She said she would just smile and tell me that I am the love of her life and that would never change. 🙂
<3 My mom told me that when I was born, the first thing she did was counting my fingers and she loves to remember that story because it was the first time she hold me on her arms. <3
In kindergarten my Mom came on our last day of class and there was a cake walk, done in a duck, duck, goose kind of way. We won three cakes that day. I remember being so proud of my Mom and it is probably one of my earliest memories.
One of my favorite memories of my mom and I was back in 2008, I had just moved back home for a little while and we both had gone through some tough times that year, and at that time Amy Winehouse was at her peak and my mom and I loved her music. One day during the middle of the day we put the Amy Winehouse “Back to Black” album on in the living room and we just danced our hearts out and had so much fun! We have always been so close, but at that moment I truly feel that we weren’t just mother and daughter, we were best friends, helping one another cope through heart ache and life changing events. I cherish my mom, and I don’t know what I would do without her. I hope that as I grow older I will be half the woman that she is. She has certainly help mold me into the young woman i am today.
My mom taught me strength, compassion, independence and love. She has taught me to be open minded, and non judgmental. My mom has worked hard her entire life and I thank her for instilling in me such a dedicated work ethic. Most importantly she taught me the value of family and how important it is to remain true to yourself and the ones you love. Happy Mothers Day to all Mom’s, but especially mine . xox
Who can say they have just one memory? I have a whole 21 years worth. I’m just so proud of her for coping with my dads cancer and his eventual passing. It has brought is even closer together. She is the best mum in the whole world, I hope to be half the woman she is when I have my own children.
My mom used to ask my sister and myself what we would like to wear for Easter each year. No matter how ridiculous (once I asked for a big hat with netting that came down in front), she would oblige. One year, we wanted matching outfits, so she drafted patterns, took us to pick out our fabric, and then we helped her make our mother-daughter creations! It was great because she cared so much and we got to spend time with her making something that made us all happy.
I think my favorite memories with my mother are when we are at work, we clean houses! We are always laughing and goofing around! We have had several of our costumers come in and say “Y’all sound like your having way to much fun to be cleaning” There’s NEVER a boring moment with her! I love my Mom!
My favorite memory is when my mom and I drove up to Maine (we live in VA) to drop my brother off at camp. On the way back down, we decided to take a road trip, just driving without directions. We ended up in this cute little town somewhere in Massachusetts and had a great couple of days spending time together. Afterwards we took another couple of days to stop at whatever we saw of the highway that looked interesting, like a Nail Salon, Ice Cream parlor, etc. We are hoping to do something similar again this summer because it was such a nice mother-daughter binding time 🙂
I live 17 hours flight away from my mom… And one time my mom surprise me at the airport (which is where I worked)
And I was extremely exciting!!!! OMG it was my best day ever cause I haven’t saw her for 4 years… And we had really good time together for 2 weeks… Love my mom!
BTW…I’m gonna surprise her too 2 days before Mother’s Day…
The greatest memory I have with my mother is actually a lot of them, my step dad was in our lives for 16 years and then he left and after he left, me and my mom go a lot closer. Every memory before and after has been wonderful. I don’t talk to my biological father for my mother has always been like a mother and father to me 🙂 on Mother’s Day, I give her a gift and on Father’s Day I give her one too because she is both. If I won this it would mean a lot to me because I might can get her something out of it too 🙂
My greatest mom memory was shopping for my wedding dress. I didn’t bring any bridesmaids or other relatives, it was just me and my mommy, the person who knows me best in the whole world 🙂 Mom has always been my best shopping buddy and on such a special day she was the only one I wanted there.
I really don’t have a perse MOM in my life that I can look up to or even having found memories of, but what I do have is to be everything that I wish I did have in a mom, to be the best I could for my kids. I want them to remember all I ever did for them and to cherish and pass on the things I have taught them along the way.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is sadly one of the days after we found out that she was diagnosed with cancer. I took the whole day off and spent it with her. We just laid around and watched TV all day, but it was nice to take her mind off of everything and just spend the day with her. My mother is so strong and amazing and is always there for me. It was a nice way that I could be there for her. And although it was just as simple as watching TV all day, it was something that will stay with me forever.
My favorite memory with my mother is when I was in labor with my Daughter…. I couldn’t have ever done it without her & I commend women who have to go through that alone. My Mom helped me through the whole thing, of course when I lost all modesty she was right there rubbing my back through 29 grueling hours of labor doing everything she could to relax me and make me calm. That is a memory I will never forget!!
My greatest memory of my mother was when she took me to London for a week and spoiled me with a nice hotel, restaurants, and great shopping as a present for my high school graduation. While we were there we went to this really ool restaurant called “Sketch” if you look it up its amazing, its all about art, and the bathrooms were giant eggs! And so its pretty nonchalant there so if you go sit on the couch for tea and little figure sandwiches, others will also chill on your giant couch so my mom and I made friends with this guy who was sitting on the couch because he was in London for a business meeting. So my mom works for Calvin Klein underwear and she was telling the guy that and he was like NO WAY! Literally pulled down his pants to show my mom his Calvin Klein speedo looking underwear, and my mom and I just look at each other are bursted out laughing because these things were so tight on him. We share this story a lot, and was such a unny and great memory with my mom, she took a picture and everything if you don’t believe me, I thank her all the time for taking me on such an amazing trip, and I want to repay her one day when I graduate from college and make greater amounts of money than I am now and take her on a trip of a lifetime for her as well. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY LULUS!
One day, after a particularly bad day I had, my mom left the house as I stayed in my room and sulked. When she came back, she had my favorite food (sushi) and a box of candy and said, “Now I don’t want you to be sad anymore.” We had dinner and a little movie night in our apartment and it instantly made me feel better. I love my mom!
A couple years ago I got tickets to see my favorite band for the first time and I was supposed to go with a friend of mine. Literally two days before the show my friend bailed on me and I was devastated because I thought I wasn’t going to be able to go, but my mom offered to go with me last minute. So happy she did that for me. I had an awesome time.
My greatest memory of me and my mother is when we used to have Sunday dinner and the whole family use to come over and play games. The one game that we played the most was tug a war. It was me and my mom vs my aunt and my cousin. I can just remember her giving me this funny pep talk in the beginning like it was real. At the end we lost because we both couldn’t stop laughing at their face expresses. We had a rematch and won and for the rest of the night we was trash talking them and refused a rematch.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom was when I was in junior high. A couple of friends at the beginning started treating me badly and ignoring me. (pre-teens are not very good at picking friends). When my mom saw how hard it was on me she came up with the idea of having a fun dress up/photo shoot party and only inviting my good friends, so we went shopping together and picked up some fun items to add to our collection for the party. The party was a huge success and the ones that were not invited wished they had been. I will never forget this moment and how much it reminds me of how incredible my mom is!
Well my papa raised me but luckily early on in my life my dad found an amazing woman who helped him raise 8 children and 1 of which was hers at the age of 18! Yeah she’s pretty much super woman. Well anyhow, one memory I shall never forget was when I had to get my first sitches and I am well….pretty dramatic. I remember her rushing to my school, bringing me to the hospital, and waiting hours to finally get in. As they put them in she gave me her shoulder and I cried hysterically, tears and loads of snots. After it was all done I remember her saying ” See it wasn’t that bad. Not half as bad as the shower you gave me with your snots!”
No matter what my obstacles and challenges I go through in life I know I can always rely on my mom to be there for me. One of my many greatest moments was when we were in Vegas and we got drunk together on Jell-O shots. We had so much fun. She knows what I’m thinking and what I like. We will always be there for each other forever and forever. My mom is my everything and she’s the reason I’m here on this planet. Thanks mom!
One of the best memories of my mom is when I was little. She would fix my hair every single day and I always would tell her I wanted “big bangs” like her and her friends! She would poof my bangs until they were the way I liked them… I have so many unflattering pictures with big bangs as a child now 😉
My fair skinned, redheaded mother had a ton of freckles as a kid. She and her mother made up a little rhyme that they said every year on the first of May to “make the freckles go away,” and my mom passed the rhyme down to me. [“Mr. May, Mr. May, please come wash my freckles away. Until I am old and gray, please take all my freckles away.”] Growing up, we’d go outside first thing in the morning on May 1st, rub our hands in the dew on the grass, and rub it on our faces as we said the rhyme. I am 24 years old, and even if my mom and I aren’t together on the first of May every year, I still call her and we say it together. 🙂
Greatest thing about my mom is, she is a one tough soldier. She had to do everything by herself and thought me to be like that as well. Now Im living in another continent by myself for 4 years and I wouldn’t be able to do it if it wasn’t for her! THANKS MAAA! Now she is by herself away from me but she is okay because she knows its the best decision for me! and thank you Lulu’s for actually making me think about this topic which I realized I havent done for the longest time.
My mom has always been able to instantly make me feel great about myself. One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was 7 playing dress up. She put make-up on me, let me play in her heels and I felt so pretty. Then she took off all my make up and said now you’re really beautiful. She still tells me that and encourages me to love myself so much. She’s a pretty cool lady!
One of my recent favorite memories with my mom was inviting her to my first home for dinner, where I could cook and prepare a nice night for me and her. I enjoyed being able to pay it forward for all the times she had done this for me!
My mom always says, “Don’t let someones poor behavior be an excuse for your own” I have taken that lesson and applied it to my life daily. She has taught me to be the best person I can be. And I am so greatful for her. Best mom ever!
Recently, my mom and I went shopping for her “Mother of the Bride” dress for my upcoming wedding. For some girls a day at the mall with their mom might be a regular activity, but for my mom and I, this was the first time. Growing up, my mom worked as a secretary and didn’t make much money. Looking back, I realize how often she spent her hard earned money on the things I asked for (new school clothes every year, my hair and nails done for school dances), while she wore the same wardrobe year after year, never spending money on herself unless she shopped at a thrift store or consignment shop. Now that I’m an adult, it made me so happy to see her try on anything she liked without having to check the price tag and for me to then be able to buy her a special new outfit. This is one of my favorite memories of my mom because I loved making her feel special and pampered for a day, after so many years of her doing the same for me while she went without.
My mother and I deff don’t see eye to eye on everything but I do remember certain things she would do or say when I was young that still remains with me today. She was the first person to put the importance of dressing well into my daily life. She always said “Never let people know your season or that you aren’t feeling like yourself today”. That always stuck with me because even when she wasn’t happy or feeling well, every morning she got up, cooked us breakfast & dressed herself (& myself) to impress. Because of her, my love for fashion is tremendous. She also told me to push myself to achieve my goals. I struggled for years trying to find a career path that pleased my parents to no avail. Now at 28, I’m able to impart that same knowledge into my daughter. Strive for your dreams, never give up & dress like you mean it!! I have decided to go back to my roots & start my styling/fashion enterprise! I’m happy & excited about what’s to come. Thanks Mum
Memories are the only thing I have left of my mother as she passed away 6 years ago from breast cancer. The one thing she taught me & I really admired in her was her strength & courage through everything she ever faced in life! Every hurdle & obstacle that ever got in her way she endured with absolutely no fear. She may not have won the war, but she fought the battle with all her heart, strength, & courage one could only dream of! I only hope to make her as proud of me as I was of her! Love you & miss you everyday mom!
One memory I’ll never forget was when I was younger and my dad left us, my mom always stayed strong. She never showed one sign of weakness and it’s been that way for 13 years now. My mother has shown me I don’t need anyone but myself and the people who really care for me in my life, and although times may be tough, I’ll always get through it. Since my mother is a single parent and she always buys us everything we need and barely enough for her, if I win I’d like to give her the $100 as a gift.
My favorite memories of my mom were when she used to take me to the park to do art projects. Each time we’d go, we’d first stop at the art store to buy a new type of art material that I had never used before, such as oil pastels or water colors. I even got a huge sketch pad that made me feel like such a big kid at the time! She’d show me how to use all the materials and how to make pretty pictures like how she created them. We’d sit and play with the paints and pastels for hours. My love for the arts and being an artist started with her lessons in the park.
My mom and I don’t always see eye too eye. Infact I think growning up we argued more than we loved. One of the rare and most beautiful memory we had was in 2008 when I was going through a really rough time in school with bullies, my mom sat down with me and told me her life growing up and how life isn’t perfect. I have never felt that much love in one room like i did that day. If I could re-live that moment of feeling my mother’s love again. I would in a heartbeat.
My mother passed away back in 2006 with breast cancer. One of my fondest memories of her was when I was in Brownies, I had to “kidnap” her for our Come As You Are breakfast for our mothers. She was such a good sport coming in her bathrobe and slippers no makeup and bed hair. She never complained once. I so appreciated her for that. She was the BEST mom in the world. I miss her so much!
Favorite memory of my mother and I, was my high school graduation. She is a single mother of 5, and having her there meant the world to me. I worked so hard to graduate top 10 percent with a full ride scholarship to the University of Texas in Arlington. The way her eyes gleamed of pride is something I will NEVER forget. I guess in a way it was my “thank you” to her for all her hard work and dedication. Now I’m on my third year of college, and I can’t wait for her to see me walk the BIG stage one more time. 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when we ended up getting lost together while driving to an antique mall I wanted to check out. We ended up driving around for hours looking for it. We had a great conversation and she gave me so much good advice. I had just gone through a bad break up but she helped to put things into perspective for me. Sometimes it is easy to forget that she has probably gone through everything I have. We eventually made it to the antique shop but the process of getting there is what sticks in my memory the most. 🙂
My mother used to be an interior designer so after school I would come to her office and draw different renditions of my dream homes. She would let me pick out swatches from her books and give me to scale guides of furniture. My favorite version I made was the New York loft that was black & white w/ red accents and a pet snow leopard. haha… gotta love the early 90’s!
One of my favorite memories with my Mom was when she taught me to walk in my first pair of heels. It was two weeks before my 8th grade graduation and my older sister bought them for me as a birthday gift. My parents were a little strict and decided that I could only wear them on special occasions. I was nervous about tripping on stage (they were only about 2 inches), so my mother stayed awake with me and helped me practice in the living room, for hours. I made it through the ceremony without tripping or stumbling! My Mom is awesome.
One of my favorite memories with my mother was on Thanksgiving when i was helping her prepare the turkey. I’ve never been good at cooking but when she let me fix and bake the turkey all by myself, i was thrilled! Unfortunetly i burned the turkey to a crisp. While the rest of my family was mad and upset, my mother was hysterically laughing at me. Even though I was so embarrased, she made me feel alot better. To this day she still makes fun of me!
My favorite memory of my mom is the day she welcomed me into her family by adopting me 25 years ago. That was one of the best days of my life and everyday thereafter. I am grateful to have such an amazing mother who has blessed me with such an incredible life.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she helped me mom and my little sister escape our house when gunshots rang outside our house. She took us to a friend’s house to stay until we got back on our feet. She saved our lives ❤
My favorite memory of my mom was when she overcame breast cancer! My mom teaches me so much every single day. She’s been through a lot in life and I’m glad I can count my blessings that she is such a strong role-model, support system and friend to me. My mom’s diagnosis came a mere 2-months after her sister passed away from pancreatic cancer, so you can imagine what a shock it was and how hard it was on our whole family after all we had just endured. My mom never complained or asked ‘why me’… She is the epitome of strength and courage and somehow always keeps her positive outlook and knows Aunt Maggie is with her and us all. My favorite memory is looking back on her laughter and ever-present strength and being thankful for the many more memories I get to share with her<3
My step-dad had a weekend long business trip, and as a gift he booked a room at a hotel by the beach for my mom and I to spend the weekend together. We drove up to the hotel and spent the whole weekend just tanning and talking under the sun at the beach. Even though it wasn’t such an extravagant trip like Paris, I enjoyed every second of it. It was really nice to have some mother-daughter time.
My mother is someone I’ve always looked up to. She is so strong and beautiful. We’re at a rough point in our life since we lost my father in November 2012. Even though we cry at times, she is the one holding my brother and I together. If I could wish for one thing, I’d want to be courageous and strong like her. I love her dearly <3
My mom is completely amazing, and I believe that one of my favorite memories with her is something that you at Lulus could relate to. I was 14 years old when my mother decided to open a boutique, and I remember her taking me with her to market one day. Watching her pour so much into pursuing her dream and passion motivated me to go after whatever it is that I desired to do. Her persistence and hard work is what made her dreams possible, and I only hope to be half as amazing as she is.
Favorite memory of my mom and I was when her and my dad got married. I never seen such a hectic day turn into something so sweet and beautiful. She looked amazing smelled amazing and her smile was priceless
One of my favorite moments with my mother was when she held my daughter for the first time. She tried her best to be there for the birth, but my baby girl did not want to wait any longer to be brought into this world! Once my mother arrived and was able to hold her, I could see the love in her eyes. I could also see how proud she was that her own baby girl had given birth to such an amazing grandchild. It is one of those moments when no words are needed. I hope that someday I can share the same beautiful moment with my daughter, and that she knows how much I love her!
My favorite memories of my mom are when I was in elementary and she would play her gospel music on the record player and we would sing and afterwards I would stand on the dining room table and pretend that I would be preaching to my members. She would wave her hands and say ‘hallelujah’! My mother taught me to pray and put God first and to never forget him and I thank her for that, now I’m doing the same with my children…thank God for a loving and supportive mother!
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she helped me move into my first apartment. We had bought new furniture that we had to piece together. Between the laughing and yelling, “PIVOOOOOOOT!” and the bottle of wine we split while building everything it’s remarkable that only one chair was put together wobbly.
The greatest memories about my mom I would have to say when she sat me down and spoke to me and told me I can tell her anything, anything in the world when she spoke to me I woul look straight in your eyes and I felt like I wanted to tell her a million things at once and I didn’t know where to start she told me listen it doesn’t matter how bad or uncomfortable it might be I will understand and from that moment on we became the closet friends my mom is the best thing that ever happen to me we do everything together we are inseparable i don’t know what I would do with out her she’s my life she’s the greatest mom I couldn’t ask for a better mom I have it all she knows all my secrets..
My favorite memory of my mom would have to be after I began my own journey into motherhood. Our bond grew stronger and i would need her more than I ever imagined. The day I went into labor at like 3AM, I woke gher up and she like jumped out of bed and was running around the house in an utter panic. I look back on it now and it was so funny. but it was nerve-racking for me because the contractions were so strong and in between them, i was coaching my mom and I’m like “Ma, calm down, relax, take a breath. We can do this!” The moment my daughtered enterd the world, and the moment I saw my mom holding her were two of the greatest moments of my life. Three more kids later (including twins) and my mom is still my greatest inspiration. She knows everything! She recently moved to North Carolina and i call her all the time to beg her to come back, tell her I love her and to remind her of the time she panicked, LOL.
Throughout the years of my life, my mother and I have created many special memories that are close to my heart. This was a hard question because I instantly thought of great mother-daughter shopping days or beach trips that clouded my mind, but I believe some of the best memories with my mom are the ones created at home while were being relaxed and goofy. Just a few months ago I was playing some pop music in the kitchen, and when a Rihanna song came on my mom started dancing around as wild and goofy as could be. We danced in the kitchen for 20 minutes and ended up on the couch laughing for almost just as long.
I have so many favorite memories with my funny mother. One that always comes to mind is a time we recently had at a gas station. We stopped at Quiktrip to get gas. I had just gotten a Coach bag from my boyfriend that week and it was my first Coach bag ever. It was sitting in the front seat. I got out to pump gas when a bee flew in my mom’s passenger seat window. I heard her scream and looked in to see what was happening. She was in full on panic mode! She jumped out the car and we opened the doors to try to let the bee fly out. That’s when the unthinkable happened. The bee landed on my Coach purse and my moms first instinct was to grab the purse and throw it. She literally through my purse across the gas station. She looked at me right away once she realized what she did and then ran to pick it up off the floor. We both laughed till we almost cried and couldn’t believe what had just happened. At least the bee was gone! Silly moments like these are what I love sharing with my mom.
The greatest thing about my mom is her strength. My mom has always been my best friend and in Sept 2011 she was diagnosed with Parkinsons. There have been rough times but somehow my mom always manages to have a smile on her face. She walks her dog 3 times daily and started taking Zumba to keep moving. Not once has she complained about how rough it is living with this disorder. I am getting married in July and my mom will be the one to walk me down the isle so i know my greatest memory is yet to come having her walking beside me to the new chapter of my life that is yet to come! I love you mom!
I CANT JUST NAME ONE MEMORY,THERE ARE SO MANY MEMORIES OF MY MOM AND I,BUT WHAT I WILL CHERISH THE MOST ARE OUR TALKS,LAUGHS,TEARS,COOKING TOGETHER,SLEEPING IN THE SAME BE TOGETHER,FAMILY VACATIONS,EVERYTHING,OUR MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS,I LOVE YOU MOM 🙂
Hello. My fav moment is laughing hysterically with my mom at my twin sisters wedding after running into the screen door on patio at the reception and she saw the whole thing. Cant ever live that one down and a picture to prove it! We have the best time together always.
I remember ever since I was old enough to walk following my mother around the kitchen. This has been one of the biggest influences in my career as a chef, and I have her to thank for being my inspiration!
My favorite memory with my mom was…..well I have alot but the most recent was when we was at a family reunion and she started dancing to Beyonce(remind you she is close to 50)she dropped low to the floor and was shaking it!lol ! Thats my mom ! I just love her !
As a single mom my mother makes lots of sacrifices for me! She has taught me to never give up, back down, or walk away from what you want most in life. She is a soldier, and I love her for this! I have shared so many memories with my mom, we travel alot because I play soccer…attended my first concert with her (BritBrit), we shop, get nails done together, and mainly just hang out watching TV! Happy Mother’s Day Momma 🙂
The greatest memory i have with my mom, is when she was pregnant with my little brother. she found out that she had Lupus, and if it wasnt for my little brother, she could have died shortly afterwards. but he was her little miracle. after that, i realized that even though we fight & dont always get along, i need to cherish the time i have with my momma. i love her so much & i dont know what i would do without her. she taught me everything i know. she is my best friend. she has always supported everything i do. especially when i came to doing makeup, she has always been my number one fan. i love you mommy.
The memory tht sticks out the most for me is very recent. I was having major surgery to remove a tumor and she held my hand all the way to the operating doors, i was scared and crying and when we let go she said “no goodbyes, ill see u later.”
It’s hard to choose a favorite memory because it feels like every day I spend with her gives me a new one. I love all of the memories I have of her sitting at the end of my bed while I’m laying in it talking about anything and everything. Sometimes she lets out this ridiculous laugh and I can’t help but smile thinking about it. If you would have told me when I was younger that my mother would become my best friend, I wouldn’t have believed you. But it has definitely happened! And I am so thankful 🙂 <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom was picking out dress patterns for her to sew. She was a wonderful seamstress, and would always create beautiful dresses for me to wear. She once made me an incredible emerald green velvet dress(I picked out the fabric, of course). I must have worn that dress a hundred times!
I am a lucky girl because I have two moms, the one that gave birth to me and a Stepmom. They are completely different but share one commonality, me. Throughout the years they’ve certainly had their up’s and down’s and personal issues with each other but they never let it affect my siblings and myself. I remember when I was about 6 years old, they surprised me with a trip downtown to the newly opened American Girl Store. I had been skimming through their catalogs for years dreaming of what I could dress my dolls in and how I would do their hair. This day, the best day, was even better than what I had imagined. We walked round for over an hour and I finally picked out my doll and the cutest outfits I could find. Then, it was lunch and tea with all 3 of my favorite people. I still have my American Girl Dolls and cannot wait until I can share this experience with my daughter one day.
My mum is my friend, we share a love of music so going to festivals and gigs together is a guaranteed good time. Dec 2012 is my favorite memory – Going to Paris for Swedish House Mafia’s one last tour then flew back to Aberdeen, Scotland the next day for Florence and Machine gig. We danced so much and had such a laugh.
I’ve never been much for pain. My mom always used to say, “You’re on your own when it comes time for you to have babies… I will show up afterwards..” But I knew when that day came I would need her, so I made a point to try my best at handling my pregnancy without her help… Through morning sickness… Through dehydration… Through body aches and sleepless nights… But to no avail. She was always there force-feeding toast, placing a cool cloth on my head, and lifting me up with inspiring words. I was hopeless, thinking at this rate she really won’t attend Judah’s birth. The day came and I managed to get through the first part with the help of my husband-to-be. Hours passed slowly and as I start to feel I might lose it, in she walks all smiles. I was livid, to be honest. She promised she wouldn’t be here and I thought I prepared for it. But as she massaged my back I drifted into my first small nap. She spent the whole day with me in the hospital walking the halls with me, calling me super woman, holding my water, brushing my hair back, and telling the nurses to let me be naked if I want to. I know I would’ve needed the epidural if she hadn’t been there. It was the best day if my life, and my absolute favorite memory of her: the tears streaming down her face as she catches the first glimpse of her very first grandson, my Judah.
My favorite memory with my mom came from a devastating experience. My parents were getting a divorce, and my dad eventually ended up walking out. Through this hard time she made things better by always supporting me and reassuring me she will always be there for me. To show that, she allotted 3-4 pm everyday after I came home from school to have mother/daughter bonding watching Gilmore Girls. Gilmore girls demonstrated a strong and growing relationship between mother and daughter, which ideally represents mine and my moms relationship. Every time I flip through the channels and see that Gilmore Girls is on, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have an awesome mom like her. She is my best friend and I love her unconditionally.
The Greatest mom my mom and I had was when I left to six grade camp and I spend one week away from home.. We were not suppose to bring our cellphones but i did and Every night before sleeping she would call me and tell me how much she loved me and missed me! I just love my mom, the most amazing thing that anyone has.
One of my favorite memories with my mom would have to be the past year that I have been back living at home. It has not been easy. As a 22 (almost 23) year old college grad that has been living on her own for the past 4 years, moving back home was exciting at first but then reality hit me. Through all the ups and downs (and there has been A LOT of downs), my mom and I have gained a new respect for each other. I was always closer with my Dad and that hasn’t changed but my mom being able to see me as a now matured young woman and not the 18 yr old that left her house years ago, has strengthened our relationship and we are still learning so much about each other and who we are as women. I see myself so much in her and she in me. Although I am leaving for graduate school in August, I’m very grateful for this past year and it has only made the memories with my mom and I sweeter. I’ll always be a Daddy’s girl but there is nothing like that genuine tough love I have with my mom.
To celebrate my mum’s 50th birthday, we went on a safari in South Africa because we are always up for an adventure. She and I drove through the game park in the rikety rental car only for it to break down in front of the lions. We were terrified, but all we could do was wait for the game ranger to come. We passed the time talking about old memories, singing lion king, and shrieking if a lion came near the car! We lived to tell the tale 🙂
One of my favorite memories of my mother was when I was about 7 years old. I came home from school crying because I did not have a “twin” to participate with in the school’s “twin day” the next day. I can recall being the only redhead in the entire school and how it made me feel completely left out and alone. How could I be twins with someone who didn’t have my same hair color? My mother embraced me in her arms, wiped my tears and gave me a kiss on the forehead. She looked at me and asked “what did you plan on wearing tomorrow?” She and I went to my room and selected a perfect outfit for the next day. At the time, I had no idea why she was doing this but it was cheering me up so I didn’t fight it. I walked into the kitchen the next morning and there, leaning against the edge of the kitchen table, was a paper version of me! The same height, same hairstyle, same colored eyes and the exact same outfit (down to the mini flowers that covered my shirt). My mom stayed up all night cutting, coloring and pasting together construction paper to create a wonderful version of a twin for me to take to school. I didn’t care how silly I looked carrying around that “paper Sara”. I was just so happy that I could finally participate. I came home with the ‘most creative twin’ prize that afternoon. I look back and laugh when I see the pictures of me, my toothless grin and that paper twin by my side. I will NEVER forget what my mom did for me that day!
My best memory of my mom is sitting by her side when she had breast cancer. Now she a cancer free mom n I award her everyday for fighting cancer now it’s my turn to get checked out for cancer and I’m only 20 years old.
My mum and I are exactly the opposite. She completes me and I complete her. Her way of loving me is so different from mine. But in some way we love each other in the most beautiful way.
I just wanted to express my love for my mommy as I express it to her every single day! I don’t have any special moments with her to tell you about because every moment with her is just as special as she is to me.
I love you mommy! (my last purchase is a gift for her so please keep an eye on it!!haha 🙂 )
My best memory of my mom is when she had breast cancer. I stayed by her side when she woke up from her surgery I held her hand to whole time when she woke up we both had tears in our eyes. I love you mom
Best advice I got from my mom is to not care what other people might think of you. Just do what you want and what your heart tells you. And of course, my best memories with my mom was ‘shopping’. Yes! I got my thrifting skills and everything fashion related from her. We have the same shoe size, she also loves collecting bags and she loves music too! Although she hates everything rap, I just play some Tom Jones with her vinyls and she including my dad will dance like crazy in the house. haha! So yeah, my parents are kinda cool. My mom is the best!
A favorite memory of my mom and I is when we went to a wedding in St. Croix. At the reception my mom heard a song she loved and grabbed my hand to dance. My mom does not have the best dance moves, but she broke it down on the dance floor. We danced the whole song and were dying of laughter after it was over. This is one reason why she is the best mom anyone could ask for.
Cleaning the house can be a mundane task. Unless, of course, your mom blasts Pantera and you sing along opera-style! The best memories I have of my mom involve music, singing, dancing, and concerts.
A FUN memory that me and my mother have is back when I was in highschool, she finally decided on getting a tattoo and brought me along. She ended up getting her tattoo, and I ended up getting my bellybutton pierced. I was so happy that she let me…she’s the coolest mom ever. It turned out to be a great day sharing that experience together.
My favorite memory with my Mom was having her with me in the delivery room when I gave birth to my Son and her telling stories of when she delivered me…like when she first held me she took hold of my left hand and says thats why Im left-handed,lol. 🙂
It’s the little things that count the most. My family always takes a yearly vacation to the beach in the summer. My mom and I are both early wakers in the morning while the rest of my family likes to sleep late. So, early in the morning as the sun is rising my mom and I would wake and we would take walks on the beach. The beach is most pretty in the mornings, I think, because there’s not many people there so it’s just so mother-daughter time I always enjoy spending with my mother. I will never forget the times from when I was real young, and these memories contine even as I grow and go on
this vacation each year.
My greatest thing about my grand mother is her instilling me the values about life. I lived with my grandmother most of my childhood years. On May 20 will make 25years since she passed away. I know that she would of been proud of me to see that the same values that she instilled in me I am putting them in my 5 kids.
Happy Mothers Day Mother 🙂
My mom and I got stuck in an elevator together, missing my appointment with an admissions counselor for a school, but I ended up learning so much about my mom during the hour that we spent in this elevator! It was definitely worth missing the appointment for. I love my mommy and I can’t wait to see her when I come home from school THIS weekend!
My best memories are when my mother makes donuts using my grandmothers recipe. They always come out perfect…just like how my grandmother made them. We all pitch in, including my father 🙂
One of the greatest things about my mom is she’s always there when I need someone, rather it’s a birthday party that everyone canceled on me, or a graduation she’s there. She hasn’t missed a beat in 24 years. My favorite memory of my mother is the day I graduated from college. She brought so many people it sounded as if she had brought the whole block when they cheered for me. I almost wanted to cry because I had accomplished something that no other woman in my family had ever done. I had a college education. We hugged when I finally made my way back to her. It was that moment that she had solid proof that she had raised a wonderful young black woman.
I am a carbon copy of my mother, meaning I’m easily sidetracked, love clothing and enjoy making others laugh. And because I am this way, it meant I often wandered away from her during shopping endeavors. One memory I have, in particular, is from when I was about 4 years old, and we were shopping in the women’s department in Wal-Mart. While my mom was on one of her browsing sprees, I sneaked off and hid within one of the circular racks of clothing — something easily accomplished when you’re only about three feet tall. When I heard her begin to siphon through the rack, I reached out from behind the clothing and grabbed her leg. There was a very loud scream — except it wasn’t from my mom. I had grabbed a complete stranger by accident. To this day my mom explains that’s why she invested in the leash-like strap she’d attach to both my wrist and her own whenever we went to the store after that.
The greatest moment I shared with my Mom was the day my son was born. She was right there by my side to help, encourage and support me and my husband as we welcomed our first baby into this world. The support my Mom has always showed me throughout the years, her encouragement and love is something that every girl needs in her life. My Mom made me into the person I am today and I am proud to say that I am just like my Mom! Love you to pieces Mom!
One of my favorite memories is when I was 5 years old and we went fishing in this little creek at my Dad’s ranch. I remember trying to cast out my lure and the hook got stuck in my mom’s neck. I kept pulling because I couldn’t figure out where it was stuck when finally I realized I had caught my mom! Nothing was too damaged, she just had a small cut, but I felt so awful. It was literally like a scene from a movie. My mother also made every single Halloween costume of mine from a baby till I was too old to think it was cool anymore, as well as, matching Christmas pajamas to wear the night before with my siblings! 🙂
One of my favorite memories of my mom was when we were on vacation with my grandmother. We were on our way to dinner and kept hearing this high pitched noise. We listened to it for about 15 minutes until we all looked at each other and then at my grandmother. My grandmother’s hearing aids were accidentally turned on in her purse and making noise. We laughed so hard we cried!!
As a child, I used to get sick a lot and I obviously hated school so much. My favourite memory was when my mom used to come to school and take me out for breakfast or brunch. or after a visit to the hospital, she’ll take me out for a treat before going to school. just the two of us, alone.
My Mom works a full time job so as a child, I didnt have much time to spend with her by myself and going outside was a real treat back then.
I remember her one time coming in with a green maxi skirt and she looked so pretty! I always thought my mom was the coolest and still do. God bless her 🙂
Years after I left home to go to university, I as at home visiting my folks. My Mum and I went into town to have coffee, and as we were walking around we went to cross a street and Mum instinctively put out her arm to hold my hand! Then at the next street, her instincts kicked in again, but this time she grabbed my hand and pointed out “curb!” in case I hadn’t seen the drop. Then “oop – car!”, holding me back from the road. I smiled at her and nodded, then started pointing out obvious things around us – “tree!”, “sky!”, “person!”, and she realised what she’d been doing and we laughed about it. Mum will always be a Mum 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when I was sitting on Baby Beach with my mom and my brand new puppy Kuta in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Not only is this a very beautiful and peaceful beach but its where my mother gave me a gift of kindness. I had recently gone through a bad breakup after a two year relationship, the puppy that I picked out and thought was hypoallergenic turned out to affect my allergies, and I was just heartbroken. I didn’t want to send my sweet little pup back to the breeder so my mom made the sacrifice to take Kuta back to New England to live. Because of her kindness and sacrifice I now get to visit my puppy every year and my heart has healed a bit.
My favorite memory of me and my mom was actually when she was battling breast cancer ad I would sit with her and talk to her and watch tv with her. We would just talk and laugh all night. That is my favorite memory because we became really close during that time and it was my last good memory with her before she passed away
My favorite memories of my mom and I came when I had my (now 2 year old) son. The nights that we stayed up, both exhausted, doing it together, we learned more about each other than the first two decades! I will forever be grateful for the amazing woman she is and taught me to be!
My mom is so special. As a recently single mother, many memories stand out! The one that makes a great impression was when I was getting ready to take my senior picture. We couldn’t afford to have a professional photographer do it & I needed to use the few outfits I had in my closet. My mom reminded me in a soft voice, “I want to give you the world, to let you buy those new clothes and afford to have professional pictures. But I want you to know that your beauty is within you. Your beautiful personality will shine through your pictures no matter who takes them or what you wear.” Having my mom encouraging me like that is priceless. Love you Mom! <3 Feffie
My mother was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and had a lumpectomy to remove it, and starts her radiation treatment next week. We were always close before but this disease brought us infinitely closer together. Some of my most favorite moments with her were when we would work in our garden, planting flowers and her explaining how to care for them. She was essentially teaching me how to nurture, love, grow. She was teaching me how to be a mom. When she would cook homemade Italian food, she would teach me how to knead the dough, make the sauce, cook the meat. She was essentially teaching me passion, patience and perserverance. When we would go shopping and I would cry because I hated my body and asked, “Why don’t I look like the models?” She would say, “Because you have my petite body and big hips and you are beautiful.” She was essentially teaching me acceptance, style and grace. All these experiences were to teach me to be a good person, to be a good child, to be a good mother. Without those lessons, I would never be the person I am today. If anything, my mother’s breast cancer is a testament of her family’s love for her, her immense strength and the grace she’s had through all of life’s circumstances. I LOVE YOU MOM!
One of my favorites memories or activities that I love to do with my mom is spending time baking delicious goodies with her in the kitchen or gardening with her. It would always be so peaceful as we sat together taking out weeds from the plants and we could talk about the many things that were going on in our lives. Those are some of the many ways that we could get close to each other.
My favorite memory of my mom is experiencing with her the birth of my younger sister, her second daughter. After struggling with the pain of many miscarriages, I saw my mom hold my baby sister in her arms. It was a beautiful sight filled with so much love. Love you Mom!
I grew up in London and one of my favorite memories with my mom is everyday after school my mom and I would walk a mile to my dads shop to bring him lunch! It’s one of my favorites because she would hold my hand the whole way and ask me about my day and I would go on and on and she would just smile and listen! It made me feel so secure and close to her as a child!
One of my favorite memories of me and my mother is the talks that we have whenever I get home from school. I always vent to her about everything that is going on in my life and she is always there to listen and give amazing advice.She does not judge or get angry with what I tell her. In the past year, I have lost some of my closet friends (no they haven’t died…i just stopped being friends with them because they have betrayed my trust). Through all of that, I have realized that my mother is my best friend and no matter what I say, do or tell her she will ALWAYS be with me. She will not leave me or judge me like my used to be close friends did.
My favorite memory is basically spending every Mother’s day with my mom since I was born on mother’s day and it’s a great reminder to appreciate the one woman I couldn’t live without! Oh yeah and the memory of my Mother’s home-made chichangas in my mouth S/O to my mom
My favorite memory of my mom is when I was in college and I was home writing a paper for a class. I asked her if I could read it to her to see if she like how it was worded. She was laying in bed and reading a book so she marked her page to perk up and listen. I began reading and was about to start the second paragraph when I stopped at looked at her. She was snoring! I stood there for a moment in disbelief and I guess the silence woke her because she said, with her eyes still closed, “Sounds great Mia! I like it!”. I couldn’t help but laugh and told her that I only finished the introduction. She started to laugh and said “Well that was a great introduction!”…
My mom was always on my team and was my biggest cheerleader/supporter. Even if she fell asleep on the job. *rim shot*
My mother has always taught me to feel confident about how I look. I fell in love with fashion even when I was small according to her influence. It was fun shopping with her because she became an “instant stylist” for everyone in the stores and they said, “I wish my mother was like yours. You’re very lucky!!” We live so far apart now but I always love and miss her very much.
I have alot of beautiful memories of my mother but my latest favorite memory would having a surprise birthday for my mother and seeing her so shocked and happy she must have smiled all night and that made me the happiest person in the word
My mom is in her 50’s and she is the most beautiful and cute woman in the world I ever seen. My mom and I used to watch TV drama “Downtown Abbey” together, and we call ourselves lady MK(me) and lady Sung(mom) when we’re having a tea time! LOL I love my mom so much and thank her of all the love and devotion that she done for me. My plan for this mother’s day is to buy her couple maxi dress and walk along the west coast with me and my lil sister together! Happy mother’s day<3
The greatest thing about my mother is, that even though she has passed away it’s like she’s always here with me and watching over me. Helping guide me to make the right choices and inspiring me to work my best each day and not to take life for granted. She helped teach me to do the right thing and be a great woman.
My favorite memory with my mom took place at a renaissance fair. I wasn’t too thrilled to be there, but my mom was determined I was going to love it. After about an hour my mom decided we were going to one of the performances at this outdoor theater. The show started with two men performing a comedy act. It was pretty cheesy, but it was better than nothing. Eventually the performers announced they needed a volunteer to join them on stage to receive a special honor. The audience went wild with hands thrust into the air and voices yelling wildly. As a joke I stood up and motioned at my mom sitting quietly next to me. To my surprise, one performer acknowledged me and bounded over to mom. Before she knew what was happening she was ushered on stage and placed in a large throne! The performer asked my for mom’s name, but did not agree shouting – “No, she is as pretty as…as a petunia! Therefore her name shall henceforth be Petunia, and I shall be her jester!” The audience roared with laughter. Now, my mom hates being the center of attention, so the petrified look on her face was priceless! I know how much she must’ve hated being up there & the only reason she did it was for me, and I’ve never forgotten it. I love my mom and appreciate her more than words can describe. She’d do anything for me, even if it meant embarrassing herself – just to see me smile.
One of the greatest things about me and my mother is that when ever we get to spend time together we do it watching our favorite show, which is a Hispanic version of “Judge Judy” on the Spanish network. Its a rare occasion because I don’t see her as much as I want. And what makes this so great is that this is something we did when I was VERY young, just sit watch talk and munch on something.
My favorite memory with my mom is all of them. There are so many things that she has taught me in life. Most of all I love all of our “hangout” time, mani/pedis, shopping and making the midnight showing to all of our favorite movie releases. My mom is awesome! && I love her for always being there and teaching me how to become a strong woman:)
best of my mother is more than my mother is my friend and is always with me at all times, it´s comprehensive, takes care of me and I agree as anyone, I love my mother because it never finds someone in the world that protects me and I want to like her, it’s all for my. I love you mom
One of my bosses died and I had recently moved 900 miles away. I was a senior in high school, away from my friends and my job, and I wasn’t going to make the funeral because of the distance. I was heartbroken. My mom picked me up from the school early and tried to take me out. We didn’t know where anything was, it was all unfamiliar. But, God love her, she drove around that huge town and managed to find a place with good salads, some cheese fries, and donuts (three separate places obviously). She took me home and watched Disney movies with me in her room. It may not sound like much, but the fact that my mom gave up an entire day so I could mourn and be sad means more than I could ever describe.
She’s amazing.
My favorite memory of my mom was when she took me to visit my grandparents in Mexico for the first time. I was only seven years old and while in Mexico she showed me her favorite place to visit as a kid. It was a field full mango trees. The place was huge and amazing in my eyes. I remember she taught me how to climb a tree in order to grab the mangos and put them in buckets. We were both at a high branch of the tree and when it came my turn to get off the tree I was extremely scared. But she calmed me down and encouraged me to get down on my own. I still have a picture of that moment. Everytime I see it, it reminds me of how amazing my mom was because she made me live a great moment in my childhood that she had once experienced.
My favorite memories with my mom is how she raised me all by herself. She taught me how to be independent. She supplied me with everything thing I needed and a just about everything I wanted without anyone’s help. She showed me how to be a strong women. She gave me so much love and encouraged me to go far in life. She was also the kindest person I know. She also helped other’s that needed help. In loving memory of my mom!
Two years ago, on the day of my wedding, my Dad’s flight was cancelled and he couldn’t make it on time to walk me down the aisle. I was so shocked and upset because no bride wants something that big to go wrong. My Mom walked over to me and said, “One of the most important parts of life is being able to adapt to changes. I’m very sorry that your father can’t be here, but I would be honored to walk you down the aisle.” I said, “Ok, I would love that!” as tears ran down my face. We looked so happy (and emotional) in pictures. My mom is the bestest friend I could ever ask for!
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom was back in 1999. It was the Boy Band era. I had my fair share of favorite boy bands and one of them was the Backstreet Boys. She knew how badly I wanted to go but tickets were so expensive so she surprised me with floor tickets! I was in a Nursing program 2 hours away at that time and was so bummed coz I had class the night of the concert but she said skip the class just this once and go with me. So her and I went to the concert. It was the best night of my life (yes i was such a teenybopper). I was able to touch 3 of the 5 guys! hehe well ok shook hands and a semi hug. Up til now she still won’t tell me how much she paid for those tickets and i could tell they were very expensive. We both had such a blast! She’s the best mom ever who will do everything she can for her kids.
The greatest memory that I have with my mom is when my mother, my sister, and my niece went to the zoo. That is my favorite memory because the only other time that we had been to the zoo was when my father was still alive. After my father passed we all kind of drifted apart. It is nice to be able to talk to my mom and know that she will always be there for me. My mother is the greatest person that I know and I am so blessed to have her.
My favorite memory is hard (so many good ones to choose from)! One of my faves is when my mom stood in line for hours to buy me New Kids on the Block tickets! I cried (tears of joy) the whole ride home! The night of the concert (my firs ever), she took me to a nice dinner and then to the concert. She was my hero that day and so many days since!
A favorite memory of mine is when my mom and I started playing a piano duet together. I was practicing one part when my mom spontaneously came over, helped me with my part and then began playing the other. Being the last of 6 kids it was hard to get attention but that small moment showed me that my mom loved me and was interested in what I was doing. That must have been over ten years ago but I just love that memory and the small moments like that that we have shared over the years that have taught me that those small seemingly insignificant moments can make a difference in letting loved ones know you care. 🙂
My mother used to be a singer when she was younger, she always sang a song to me and my sister before we went to bed. When I got my wisdom teeth out this year she sang the same song to me when the pain medication made me sick. I know I’ll sing that song to my children. <3 my mommy
My favorite memmory of my mom is the way her face and eyes were glistening the day I graduated with my Masters degree. I have never seen her smile so much and be so proud. My mom worked hard as a single mother of 4 to raise us, and push us to be better. She inspires me everyday to be more than I can be. Her strength is more than enough motivation to succeed. And although I am the first and only member of my family with a Masters degree she posseses more knowledge and smarts than anyone I know. Kuddos to you mom, for being amazing and a true role model.
I remember my mom always being available when I needed her. She’s my mom, dad, and my best friend. Life hasn’t always been fair to my mother, but she’s always survived through whatever trial comes her way.
My mom has never been the best with emotions but I can remember when my father left and changed the house locks on us and we had to stay with my aunt because we had nowhere else to live… This was the day before valentines day. The next day me and my little sister came home and my mother must have felt so bad for us because she had two big valentines day bears on the bed for us and a BUNCH if candy all over the bed in the shape of a heart… We didn’t have much so this was so exciting for me and my sister. We went into our little piggy bank and came up with 3dollars to buy her a rose at the flower shop down the street… She was so touched that she didn’t even yell when she realized that we left the house and crossed the street by ourselves lol.
When I was 13 my mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and slowly I have watched it take over her body, yet my mom never fails to be there. My favorite memories with her are when I come home after being at school for months and just laying together watching countless movies and shows. We have the best conversations and she has grown to be my best friend.
I learned that it is not always the big things you get to share with people, but the little moments that truly count.
Favorite memory involving my mom and I would be last Christmas. With her being a single parent she never really gets much. However this year I asked for money and got my first job. I used that money and I took my mom to her favorite store and bought her outfits for work. Even though that took away from me, it was all worth it because I got to see her smile. It felt good to give back to her.
My favorite memory of my mother and I would be the timed she struggled as a single mother , just to buy me this matching jean outfit for picture day, I absolutely loved it and wore it often. I’m grateful for her because if she had it or didn’t have it my sister and I were always matching fashionista on a budget.
I can’t pinpoint one memory that is my favorite with my mom because honestly all of my memories have been so great. She has been the rock for our family through all of the good and bad. She is who I strive to be and can only hope that through her guidance and lessons I will be half the woman that she is. She truly is my best friend and I would not trade that for the world. As I have grown older and had my own “struggles” and obstacles in my life her advice and guidance has gotten me through everything.
My favorite memory I have with my mom is from when I was a lot younger. Every Friday we would either have Mcdonald’s or pizza for dinner, and we would have a “picnic.” My mom, me, and my brother would put a blanket on the living room floor and eat on the floor there. I don’t know why, but it was always so much fun.
My favorite memory of my mother sticks with me until this day. I was about 12 (I’m her only child, so I am/was a spoiled brat). I wanted to go shopping & she told me not this week because she couldn’t afford it. I told her it was pay week & that she could afford it… So in turn she gave me her whole paycheck & told me to pay the bills & I could have what was left… After bills, I had about $30 left, which she took for gas… I can’t wait until I can teach my daughter this 😉
My favorite memory with my mother is that of my college graduation from the University of California, Berkeley. The ceremony I participated in allowed for parents to walk down with you and accept your diploma together. This had tons of significance for me because not only did my mother not have the privilege of receiving an education, but my dad, her best friend had suffered a heart attack the week prior to my graduation. I knew she felt conflicted as to whether she should stay back with my dad or walk with me that night and as the amazing mother that she is, she walked with me that night. The conversations we shared and the memories we created that night is something I will remember for the rest of life.
My most favorite memory of my mother was watching her work hard in order to provide my siblings and I, a better future. I remember her working 60-80 hours a week just for her to save enough money to buy us a new house in a better neighborhood. During the time she saved money my mother had to live with my sister having to move away, my brother getting stabbed, and my younger brother getting beat up by a gang. I never saw a woman work so hard to raise her kids away from the streets. My mother did it all on top of caring for her own siblings and parents. Before Superman and other superheros came out on TV, my mother was and will always be OUR FIRST HERO!
I don’t know my birth mother, I was adopted at the age of 7-14. Though my relationship was quite strained growing up with my adopted mother I do appreciate tremendously the home cooked meals she made everyday. It was her way to show love through cooking and eating healthy. It is something I look forward to as an adult when I visit her.
A great memory with my mother was when one time I was waiting on her to get ready and beautiful (as always) so we could go out. when she finally came downstairs (obviously looking amazing) i asked why she had taken so long and she replied with a huge smile ” oh sorry i was straightening my hair” ahaha this was a joke my mother often used. it was a joke because my mother had breast cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. She obviously had no hair to straighten but always managed to be the most beautiful woman on earth. i love her dearly and admire her strength to overcome her challenges with a great sense of humour and a smile that has lightened up my life since birth. Since i can remember she was always dressed her best with her make up and nails always done. I wish her the greatest Mother’s Day 🙂
There are thousands of great memories with my mother but the most important memory that I have with her was when I was young and when I still remember my heart breaks into tears. She has work hard all her life since I was young she was always so busy working because she wanted to give us a good financial life to my brother and I so we could go to better schools. There was one day I got very sick and I waited for her all day to come because she was still working finally she arrived earlier in the afternoon to help me she took me to the hospital at night with my dad and my brother I never thought I was gonna end up at the hospital that night I was scared to stay at the hospital I was just a little girl and I didn’t wanted to stay alone so I softly asked my mother If she was going to stay with me? and quickly I say please don’t leave me here alone and she immediately took my hand and say of course my dear, of course I will stay with you How can you believe I could leave you here alone? And tears went down my cheeks with a big smile on my face as well she smile and drop a few tears but stayed strong in front of my eyes. After 2 days later, doctors couldn’t find what was happening to me and I was only seeing my mom and my family taking care of me all the time in every single aspect then the critical moment came because a fearful feeling arrived through my head and deep in my heart I could feel I was dying. I was gonna die, that my time arrived How could I knew? I don’t know I just felt it in the moment when I seeing my family there in the room taking care of me and trying to make me happy specially my mom as she was standing right beside me that night. I was so thankful with the sky I could spend a few days with her even though I had no more strength and my health was decaying so I closed my eyes that night I took my mother’s hand back again and I said to the sky, thank you for these 3 days I spent with my family and my mother who didn’t left me alone not even one second. I accepted the fact that if the sky wanted to take me now I was gonna be ready before asking the sky my two last petitions. I said to the sky, please take good care of my family and my mother don’t let them cry too much for me when I’m gone with you and please remove their fear to loose me and my fear to go away. I trust you. Now I’m ready. Then I felt asleep until 5:30 am doctors who stayed awake all night trying to figure it out what was wrong with me came running to my room pushing the door so fast that it could almost fell down and quickly took me to the surgery room and my mom running in the hallway I heard my mom voice far away from the hallway while the nurses where taking me to the surgery room she said Everything it’s gonna be okay! believe and pray to God I’ll be praying as well! and when I opened my eyes she was there looking at me smiling and wanting to hug me. That’s my best and favorite memory I have with her. Life gave me a second chance to live and have more thousands of great memories with her! 🙂
Thank you for letting me share this beautiful memory of my life with all of you here.
My favorite memory with my mom took place the night before I left for college. Earlier in the summer, I had won two movie theater tickets from my work. So I decided to use the tickets to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 with my mom the night before I left (we both loved the book series). The movie could not have been more perfect, as the plot focuses on the perseverance of love and friendship, even if two people are not within arms’ reach. Once we arrived home, I started to cry in our driveway, not only because I was leaving home, but because the movie made me realize how much I love my mom. We cried in each other’s arms for about 10 minutes and she reassured me that everything would be okay, that it would all just be new and a little scary. Since then, I have graduated from college and see her even less, but the phone calls happen more and more and my mom has become my best friend. I always think back to that night, where I realized how great she truly is, and how much I love her!
My favorite memory with my mom is when she showed me tha I was not alone. Last year, for the first time in my life(so it seemed)I couldn’t handle everything I had going on, I kept messing things up. Between school, dance, a boyfriend, and responsibilities elsewhere, I felt like my life was spinning out of control. For a while, I kept it all hidden, but once everything came to light my mom was quick to remind me that God gave me a family, and friends to help me juggle the business of life. She hugged me and let me cry for a while, but told me she was always available to help me and I did not have to try and be perfect all on my own. I may not like that I made my first ‘B’ ever, but I am thankful that I learned how much she wants to help me and that she is always there for me.
My favorite memory with my mom was when I was preparing for my 15th birthday – Quinceanera – photoshoot. I remember that while my mom helped me put on my ball-gown she looked at me with teary eyes because she noticed that her little girl had grown into a beautiful young woman. And at that moment I also became nostalgic thinking that I was as beautiful as my lovely mother.
My favorite memory of my mom was in my sophomore year of college. I had been kicked out of school so there was un-eligible for financial aid. My mom took her entire savings and bought me books and paid my tuition for that semester at the community college. The next semester I was re-enrolled in my university and even graduated early last fall from it. That was so selfless and such a huge sacrifice to make. I love my mom for believing and me and financing me even though I made that mistake, she is so amazing.
My favorite memories with my mom are from traveling Kenya and Tanzania with her. We got so close on that trip and have been ever since. Now that I have my own daughter, I really realize how special that bond can be.
The best memory of my mom and I would have to be when my dad passed away. I would of never thought something so tragic could bring us together. My dads death was the darkest part of my life and I’m so thankful to have my mom by my side each step of the way. I will always cherish the good and bad in life. She is such a strong independent woman and I love her to the moon and back. I would do anything for her. My mom is my strength and rock.
My mom is relatively young and I always thought she was so hip compared to my friends’ moms. I have a memory of her bringing home the Alanis Morrisette CD when I was in middle school and we put it on full blast and danced around the living room head banging and singing into microphones for hours. It’s one of my favorite memories with her. She and I still act silly and play around all the time; it’s one of many reasons we are so close. <3
My mother is quite the character. A stay at home mom with 7 kids, a grandson, and a dog — I don’t know how she is sane.
When I was younger she would spend hours in her crafty sewing room whipping up Halloween costumes for the entire family. A kangaroo, a gypsy, Frankenstein, Wednesday (from the Adams family) — you name it, she could make it. My mother, being the creative, crazy, Halloween lover that she is, made one Halloween costume that I will never forget.
She dressed up as a 60’s go-go dancer. But not a little bit. She didn’t just create a colorful dress with knee-high boots on and call it a day. She practically BECAME a go-go dancer. It seemed like Mom was hell bent on winning some kind of imaginary award when it came to Halloween costumes. She put together this sparkle hoochie disco dress, white 6-inch platform boots, a blonde curly wig, peace sign sunglasses, and the best part was the Boston-Hippie accent she developed. For weeks she ran around calling herself “Candy” and saying things were “groovy” or “right on”.
So during my sophomore year of high school, I called my mom to pick up a friend and I after school, and sure enough she showed up dressed head-to-toe as Candy leaning out the car window yelling, “Woo hoo! Jessi, baby, over here!”
I. Was. Mortified.
At first, I pretended not to notice her. I was heading back into the building when she threatened to “hop out and say hey to all of your friends!”
Oh. My. Gosh.
Mind you, the entire school was outside, so you can imagine my face turning BEAT red. I knew there was no way around this unless we wanted to walk home. I almost cried. I turned to my friend Molly and mouthed the words “I am SO sorry” as I led her towards the car with the mentally deranged woman hollering out her window at us.
Looking back on that day, it was epic. I hope that someday I can give my kids the same humorous love that my mother shows me. In the meantime, I look up to her for being so comfortable in her own skin that she would dress up in a crazy costume and take it to a level that most parents couldn’t. That’s my mom for you.
There are only a few, eccentric, extreme mothers like her, and I’m lucky enough to have gotten one. 🙂
If there is one thing that I remember from my childhood is my mother making sure I ate 20 times a day, which was probably the reason I was such a chubby little girl. But, all of those memories started to fade away when my mother got a visa to come to the US. My father and her both worked day and night to provide us with a better future. But, it was hard growing up without a parent. Then after 5 years, my sister and I finally got the visa to come to the US after numerous rejections from the US embassy, even after my father’s passing. As my sister and I both walked towards the arrival gates, out of the million faces, I saw her. I saw her eyes lit up excitement and tears and without thinking about anything, my sister and I both rushed into her arms with tears rolling down our cheeks. It was the moment I will never forget because that was when I heard the most precious words again, “Have you eaten anything?.”
When I was in kindergarten my mom would come to my school to walk me home, and on hot summer days she would show up with a giant red umbrella to block out the summer sun. My schoolmates would grin at me and people on the streets would stare at us. I remember feeling so ashamed and embarrassed all the way home until that umbrella was shut away in the closet. I now look back fondly because I absolutely love her quirkiness.
I remember when I was in the hospital my mother would stay with me every night. One time I had to go to a different hospital in Boston and I missed a lot of school. So I had a lot of homework and she used to help me do it. I remember reading the book Letters From Rifca with her. Also after homework we would sit ad play apples to apples moncala and monopoly (the Disney version) until it was time for me to take my night medicine and go to bed.
There are so many different memory’s with my mother and I. We share such a close bond together that could never be broken, my mother is the light to my path and everything I want to be. We share many loving and happy memory’s together. I think one of my biggest memory’s with my mother is the love we share with our horses. I remember when I was little, about seven years old and is was Easter morning. My parents decided to take me on a bike ride down the road. Mysteriously there where these pink arrows on all the telephone poles we just happened to decide to follow! And of course I was so excited but didn’t have a clue what was going on! They led down the road and went into the equestrian barn a few blocks away from my house. We bikes in and this lady walked this gorgeous arabian pony out of the barn covered in pink ribbons and bows all tied up in his hair. my mother had bought me a pony for easter! his name was “pride” and he was the sweetest fattest boy in the world.Me and my mother have gone on many rides together down the river under the beautiful sun and trees. After having my pony for 15 years he grew to be very old. My mother was there for me when I had too put my beloved pony down two years ago, she was by my side the whole time. I think when I got that pony thy was the best moment I have ha with my mother. She was so excited to give him to me and I loved him and her with all my heart. My mother is amazing and is alway there for me. She is all I could ever ask for. The bet mother in the world I love her dearly forever and always!
Xoxo love you momma<3
My mother, my lifeline and my world is my grandma, she took care of me all my life until cancer happened. I am in the US studying so it was a very hard time, and when I returned home, the airplane landing was different, the ride home was different, I was mentally preparing for the worst. I spent a month and a half taking care of her, changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, and though she could not speak much due to pain, I knew she was grateful. She slept night and day, and 1 night while she slept, I grabbed a bible, prayed and sung for her, all I heard was her humming, she could not sing but she joined in how she could. When I was done, she said “thanks my grandchild, I am leaving, I am going away, somewhere far away but I will always be with you, never to forsake you”. I will never forget that moment, a week later I left, she died soon after, I missed a few classes when I went back and dropped out the nursing program. However, I carry the memories with me and I am almost done with my degree, it was her desire and I will fulfill it, later on, I will get back to nursing but now I will settle with Medical Technology. Love you mama!!!!! <3
For 25 years, my mother was a Neonatal Intensive Care Until nurse. As you can imagine, she had a very sad and hard job. Despite her exhaustion, she came to every one of my gymnastics practices (which were three times a week). Every Friday after class, she took me to Monterrey House to grub down on some good ole Tex Mex. It was always just the two of us, and we never missed a Friday. I’m 26 now, and recently we went there on a lunch date and I felt like I was 10 again just sitting there laughing, talking and enjoying each other’s company. I wouldn’t change my mom for the world and I can’t imagine a life without her.
My favorite memory I have with my mother happened the day I told her I was pregnant. I was only 19 and in college and my mother hugged me and told me that were going to have this baby and that I’m going to graduate college if she has anything to do about it. She taught me the infinite love of a mother and I hope to be half the mother she is. I’m graduating college next week all because of my amazing mother.
One special memory is hard to choose because I was blessed with such an amazing mom. She is not only an amazing mother but she has also become one of my best friends as I have grown older. One special memory I have with my mother is planning my wedding with her this year. I am getting married next summer and she has been such a support system through all the planning.We don’t have much money to spend on it but she has really helped me brainstorm and think of unique ideas for my special day. I am very excited and so very thankful for my mother this Mother’s Day.
I remember when I was 14 years old and there’s a neckelus where when your daughter is 14 you give it to her to keep the tradition flowing. So it was my birthday and I woke up feeling terrible , so I got up and woke up to breakfast in before from my mommy , we didn’t have much but we always made it work . So after we had a girls day out just me and my mom . We got home very late ,so we went to sleep next day I woke up to a beautiful gold chain with a matching bracelet and beside it was a note that said I love you .
One of the best memories I have with my mom is when I was moving out to my own apartment in DC. I needed EVERYTHING! From a bed to a couch. While my Mom was very willing to just GIVE ME all the things I needed to make sure I was ready to be all on my own for the first time, my Dad was not as willing. So long story short I thought for months that I was going to be living in a sad empty apartment with maybe a mattress that I could scrape up money for until the day I was moving out. All of a sudden I had a bed, a couch, a small dining table…everything I needed and more. My parents have always taught me to figure things out for myself and fix my problems. I had come up with a 3-6 month plan of how I was going to save up and buy all my necessities. I even told my Mother about this plan =]. All while she had plans of her own to take care of her baby girl. I love my Mother for always teaching me that I need to be an independent woman but also reminding me that she will always be there for me. I LOVE YOU MOM!
One of my favorite memories with my mom has not happened yet, but I already know what it will be. I graduate this year and my friends are part of the party crew and that’s just not what I like to do. So I started to think what else I could for senior trip other than be ridiculous and party with my friends. I decided that I wanted to go on a cruise with my mom because she is ultimately my best friend and she has always been there for me. We have one more month until our cruise and I am beyond excited to share my senior trip with my mom. When I hear her telling people about it I can tell she feels so honored that I asked to go with her instead of go and party with friends. So my favorite memory hasn’t happened yet, but I already know that this trip will be my favorite memory with my mom.
I threw a party for my mom’s 50th birthday. She couldn’t stop crying when she blew out the candles on her cake. I hugged her for a good 5 minutes. She deserves the best. Love you mom!
It would be wrong to say that my mom is the most perfect mom out there but she is mine and I wouldn’t change her for the world. My favorite memory that I have with my mom is when she flew to my college, last minute, for my birthday my freshman year. I was having a really tough time making friends and had just gotten out of a three year relationship but my mom came to the rescue. We didn’t do much, just went to dinner and did a little shopping (what we do best) but it was the best birthday I’ve ever had. She has taught me to be kind, to have compassion for others, and to be passionate about everything I do. She is the most giving woman I know.
My greatest memory was when I was young I always enjoyed entering the talent show. Now I look back at the videos and the pictures and I laugh because I had no talent but my mom always gave me the confidence to go for it and I always felt that I was great so it helped me to be persistent and never give up.
My favorite memories of my mom were watching her get ready everyday. She always had the best style and managed to look effortlessly chic even with twin daughters and a son hanging onto her. She always took great care of herself- exercising regularly and even including us in her workouts. Our weekends were spent tooling around on our bikes or hiking through the local hills. Every single night she made us dinner in between her two jobs because she wanted to instill in us the importance of a good diet and healthy lifestyle. To this day, I think of my mom when I want to just leave the house in my gym clothes. Instead, I take a minute to throw on my jeans and add a scarf or a necklace to look at least a little more put together. And I give all credit to my mom for instilling a healthy lifestyle within me. No take out foods for my kids either!!
My favorite memory of my mother and I are definitely our soccer memories. My mom traveled around the country with me for tournaments and games! Each time we had a new experience but our favorite tournament was in St. Louis. We were the ultimate tourist, we traveled to the richest to the worst parts of St. Louis! We had so much fun on that road trip!
My mother battled breast cancer for 7 brave years and watching her go through that was a true testament to the kind of courage a woman can have. But I think the most touching lesson I learned from her was about compassion and motherhood. In her final days, she was mostly bed ridden but in my Indian culture a Spring festival (Holi) was approaching. She wanted my new sister in law and I to have special new clothes for the occasion and insisted that she would take us shopping. Equipped with a wheelchair and a credit card, we spent the whole day at the mall shopping and eating complete junk food. She bought us both complete new outfits, shoes, makeup and all. When we arrived home, I knew she was utterly exhausted, but when I complained of a mild headache, she insisted I lie in her lap so she could press my head. It’s been 6 years since that day, but I can still feel her warm hands and unconditional love.
My favorite memory with my mother has to be from about 3 months ago. Me and my mother were never really close like we are now and I think this memory has a lot to do with it. About 3 months ago I and out to my mother about liking women and about how school wasn’t fulfilling my passion I wanted to act or dance those 2 things filled my passion I mean I just laid EVERYTHING I was holding back into her I was snot nosed crying just having a huge breakdown I was scared she would disown me and hate me but instead she held me into her arms kissed me and said she supported me no matter what, prayed over me and just let me cry until I couldn’t cry anymore. That moment really showed me the true love a mother will have for their child and we gave better relationship than we used to ALOT better lol and well this is my favorite memory the day my mother accepted me for who I truly am
The best memory with my mother is It was summer of 2008 my mother and I were in the house cleaning and my mother said one thing I will never forget “I am soo proud of you”. It touch my heart and I wish my mother was here to say the words to me again.
My favorite memory of my mom is when in first grade, we had a crazy hat contest. I went to bed nervous about not having anything suitable to work with. When I woke up I found a bowl hat completely studded with every kind of rhinestone and ribbon my mother could find. It was a crazy ugly hat for sure! However I remember being so happy because my working mom was not very crafty and she totally came through for me on that one!
She was 15 years old when her dad passed away. Two months later her brother died in a car crash due to a drunk driver. She was left with her three older brothers and my grandma. She grieved and dealt with her own sadness but the biggest thing my mom did was find her strength. Her strength to find the happiness in life when things can be so ugly, the strength to get out of bed everyday and realize that she was the one that determined her future, and most of all, the strength to help her mother. If there is anything my mom has taught me, it’s how to be a good daughter. My grandma never remarried. Thirty-three years she has been a widow, and my mom is the best daughter to my grandma. I more than admire my mom and hope that I can be even half the daughter that she is.
One of my favorite memories of my mother is when I gave birth to my first child. I had been in labor for a full 24 hours and was completely exhausted when my son finally decided to come out. I felt extremely drained as I cursed and yelled, giving up pushing. On my last push/contraction my mom ran behind me, pushed me from behind my shoulders which kind of curled me up over my pelvis and as I screamed bloody murder my son was born! I thank her to this very day because I know I wouldn’t have made it through that experience without her. She was there every step of the way, even when his dad was stiff with shock and the physician “stepped out” to answer a page. She completely took over and handled the situation like a pro 🙂
One of my favourite memories of my mom and I is when we use to go flower shopping in the spring. Every year, we would go with her to the greenhouse near by and my sister and I as little girls, dressed in our cute flowery dresses, we would go pick out this years flowers for our home. My mom would let us pick all of our favourite flowers and plants, even though she might not of liked them. The smell in there was devine, the colours were gorgeous and most of all we were all in our happy place. We couldnt wait to go home and plant them all! We still do this tradition to this day, and I am 22 years old. I’ll never forget our girls days at the greenhouse!
my favourite memory of my mom was when my first love dumped me and my mom stayed up with me until 6 in the morning watching movies and talking…that was the moment she became my bestfriend <3
My Mom is so kindhearted. Every Sunday we have Sunday dinner and she does it up big time! She always cooks the best food for my family (myself, Husband and two kids) She evern lets my rambunctious 3 year old daughter help with the food prep, and believe me that requires a lot of patience. I admire her very much.
My greatest memories of my mother were always at the beach. We would make the two hour drive to the coast and leave everything else behind. Those were the best days where we we shop, lay out in the sun and walk along the beach taking pictures. My mom is the reason I got into photography, especially those picturesque beach sunsets. My other strongest memories of my mother are every time she made a sacrifice for me, she has done so much for me and is always there when I need her, thank you moms!
My favorite memory of my mom is when she would take me back-to-school shopping every year as a kid. She would put up with my newest obsession ever year, whether I wanted to rock a preppy look or an edgy vibe–and let me tell you, I went through all of those phases. Laughing over ill-fitting outfits and getting excited over the ones that work was a fun bonding experience for the both of us. I still send her pictures of my clothes while I am away at college for her opinion. Mom always knows best!
All of my memories with my mom are great! My favorite one though, was when my twin sister and I got into my moms red lipstick. We were little, and after covering ourselves with it, we covered the floors and the walls as well. My mom came in the house scared to death because she saw red footprints down the hallway, but when she found out what we had done, she couldn’t stop laughing. She took tons of pictures before she actually started cleaning the lipstick up. My mom is so understanding and amazing in every way. She loves her kids more than anything.
One of my many favourite memories with my mother would have to be our trip back home to Syria. Through my mom I was able to connect with my family members living there that, without her, I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. She connected me with my roots and truly gave me a life-changing experience. Love you mom!
The fondest memories of my mother are the memories we both make and share together while baking. Baking has been our tradition since her great-great grandmother and she now passes that unto me. Baking gives us the opportunity to bond like mother and daughter and talk just about anything (while not mistaking measurements, of course). My mom will always be my mom, and now I can say that in the future, if I decide to have children, I hope to share those cherished moments that will be a lifetime of fulfillment’s for them as well as for myself. Baking is great, and so are Moms!!!
I love my mom no doubt! I’m a 16 year old young women so you know we have out times, but nothing can get in between us! My favorite memmory with my mom is….. I would have to say…. Well we have so many! Every time we do things together we take pictures to, so yes we are very fashion forward. I can’t think of a time that was better than the other because I never really focused on that part, but everyday I spend with my mom gets better and better. I love you mom!!
I can remember my favorite moment with my mom like it was yesterday. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2012. We had a family trip to Disney World scheduled that July (my husband and I, our daughter, my grandparents, and my mom and dad), and despite how horrible she felt due to going through chemo treatments, she was a trooper and made it to one theme park with us, Epcot. My mom, my 4 year old daughter, and I were just walking slowly through the country pavilions while the men were all off riding Mission Space, and then we heard a steel drum band playing nearby. Before I knew it, my 4 year old broke free from our hands and started smiling mouse ear to mouse ear, arms spread wide open, and began twirling in a circle. I have a few pictures I wish I could post to show you. It’s the memory that will stay with me forever. To me, in that moment, my mom wasn’t sick, we were in the happiest place on Earth, I was with my mom, and my daughter, and it was like time stood still. While watching my daughter smile and spin, I looked over at my mom who was laughing so hard she was crying just watching my 4 year old.
I cannot pick a favorite memory of my momma! She has always been there for me when ever i needed and as i grow up i am only getting closer to her!
Love ya Momma!!
I had many wonderful memories with my mom, my favorite memory was cooking with her because my mom was all about cooking and teaching her own children. Every time I saw my mom cook, she would look to me with a loving smile and telling me when winning a man’s heart is through his stomach. Sometimes I wish I could see her cooking for us again. But I think the best memories I had with my mom was when she was smiling and laughing. Love you forever in my heart mom <3
“A lady should always look her best.” Each Saturday morning, we would all go shopping (mom, younger sister and me). I became a mother when I was sixteen, but the Saturday morning ritual didn’t stop. I would dress my daughter and the four of us would make our way to the local malls, shops ( Woolworht’s, Goldmsmith’s, Zayre) and grocery stores. Years later my sister had her first child and the five of us would shop until we were pooped. Two more girls were added to our little clan and we’d all load up for our Saturday outings.
As the years went by, my sister and I moved out on our own. However, we would all go shopping some Saturday mornings. Mom didn’t want to go as often, but we’d always call her to see if she just wanted to ride and get out the house.
Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in 2006 and we didn’t shop as much, but we’d sit around on and talk about the fun we had on Saturdays. When asked, “why did we go shopping every Saturday?” Our mom told us, “I wanted my children and grandchildren to have some things that I never did. Anyway, no matter what was going on a lady should always look her best”.
December 2007 mom lost the battle with breast cancer, but we laid her to rest “looking her best”.
My favorite memory of my mom is the day she helped me deliver my baby, we were in the hospital and i was in pain (i did it natural), crazy crazy pain but anyways she was just there for me when i needed her, just simply being there, her presence, her reassurance. I delivered a healthy baby, but having my mom there and of course seeing her carry my baby :’) Love my mommy, she’s my rock.
I will always remember my mom as a devoted mother. She would always take time out of her day, even after a long day at work, to bring me and my brother out of the house when we were little. She would walk with us everywhere in town, to the local park and even McDonald’s. She would just sit for hours watching us play. Not only did it make me and my brother happy, but it gave her a sense of enjoyment as well seeing her kids grow up.
My mother and I were lucky enough to be able to drive across the country together. I had plans to move to California and she was going to drive me out there… We packed up the car, put on our Fiest CD and hit the road. Never in my mind did I imagine how incredibly close this trip would bring us! 3 days of laughter, deep talks, fights, smiles and tears, by the time we got there I didn’t want her to leave. She had become my best friend out of nowhere’ as she got me settled into my new place I joked about her staying with me. As a single divorced women with all of her children grown, she didnt have a ton of commitments back in Michigan, but I knew she wouldn’t stay (as much I really wanted her to) On the night before she left, she took me grocery shopping to fill up my fridge, we were sitting outside of Whole Foods when suddenly my mother tells me she wants to stay! I couldnt believe it! she had been taking care of 4 kids the past 25 years and to her California could now be a time for her to take care of her! i was so thrilled!
The day my daughter was being born I was told not to have ANYTHING by mouth because I was going to be getting a spinal and right for my c-section. My Mom, sitting next to a nine month pregnant chick, decides to pull out a a chocolate chip cookie she just bought from the cafeteria. After a few seconds of arguing and carrying on, I finally got my cookie I so desperatly craved for! Right in the middle of eating it, there was a knock at the door and a big recus outside that the “OR team was ready” and “we need to do this spinal now!!” I quick threw my cookie at my Mom, not even watching where I aimed it… It bounced off a wall and landed on the floor across the room. The door opened and the Anestelogosist yelled “Alright Girls, ready to get this party started!?” All me and my mother could do is just look at each other and laugh. That was a memory I will always remember of me and my mother!
After my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and getting ready to start chemotherapy, she sold raffle tickets at her work and to close friends and family members that the winner would be able to shave her head. The money from the tickets went towards a wig for her. Watching the winner scaredly shave her head as she sat in the chair very bravely was a very proud memory for me. It showed me how beautiful and strong that women, that I may have taken advantage of too many times, truly was and is.
This might not be a moment I remember but my mom and I always talk about it and brings emotional feelings. After my mom got pregnant with me she started having heart problems and the doctor had told her that it was going to be very difficult for me to be born and the day she went into labor they let her know that only one of us was going to come out alive. She told my dad If the doctor had to make a choice she wanted me to be alive and my dad wanted my mom alive because he knew he wouldn’t be able to live without her. We both made it we are both healthy and I couldn’t ask for a more amazing mother.
My favourite memory of my mom and I is when I was little and just before bed we would cuddle and she would stroke my hair while doing her newspaper crossword puzzle. I can still remember helping her pick out words, and how the faint smell of her perfume still lingered on her clothes. It’s the little moments like that which have become my favourite memories of her. Unfortunately she passed away from cancer when I was young as well, so now my dad has had to become Mr. Mom, and he’s been a doing a fine job, but no one can replace the love between you and your mom.
My mother raised my older sister, little brother and I for 10 years as a single mom, as if that wasn’t hard enough it was even harder for us to tell us ‘no’. Christmas, birthdays, Easter, she never let us do without. Now that I’m older and living on my own I truly understand how hard that must have been on her. Keeping up with the rent, a car note, making sure we had everything we needed for school, all the latest clothes and shoes, she made everyday as special as we could have imagined, and all without ever letting us see her sweat. She truly is the strongest woman I know, all without ever needing a pat on the back or praise for all that she did and to this day continues to do. Even to this day, now that I’m grown and have been living on my own for years, she still insists on coming to my house to help with my laundry or clean my house, all while maintaining her own. My youngest brother is autistic and she never once felt sorry for herself, she calls him her blessing from above, and considers herself the most blessed person alive, little does she know, we’re the ones who are blessed to have her.
My momma is one Haute Momma simply because she is always there for me whenever I need her and also because at 5 years old I wanted to learn how to water ski and my dad said no, but instead she hoped in the water with me and got me up my very first try! Best Mamacita EVER!!!! Did I mention she is AMAZING! <3
I was 25.I moved to America,and i left my mom in europe.it was so hard both of us!After one year she came to visit me.I just couldnt wait to see her again.When he arrived i runed to her arms.I cried just like a kid and couldnt stop squeez her,smelling her.I was kid again in my mom hug. 🙂
My mom passed when I was 16 but what I didnt have in time, I had in quality. My fav memory of my mom is of her dancing to intros to shows like magnum pi and different strokes. Although she struggled with illness that didnt stop her from having a good time and a carefree attitude. This is what I remind myself when I am taking life too seriously.
my favorite memory of my mother is of her in the kitchen! she canned made homemade everything baked! there was always something good coming out of the kitchen!we would come home from school often to find home made cookies and cakes and a beautiful dinner prepared for us !
MY greatest memory of my mom and I , is our trip we took together to Florida last april! we had 3 days on a tight budget but we made the best of it, we learned so much about each other and got to spend quality time at the beach. definitely a trip we will never forget!
My Mom was an amazing woman. She was more than my mother but my best friend. She passed away unexpectedly when I was 18 from a brain aneurism. All of the memories I have with her are so precious to me, but one stands out. I used to play softball and I would always ask her to come to the games. She was always busy with being the amazing mom she was taking care of not only the errands around the house but also with my two brothers. The rival game was coming up and as a team bonding event we made noise makes for fans at the game. I made my special for my mom and asked her to come. She told me she didn’t know if she could but she would try. It was the first inning and I didn’t see Mom in the stands. I was about to pitch to my second batter when I here, “Come on Marissa!” There my Mom is shaking the noise maker I made for her. I was so surprised and so elated to see her! My mom was an amazing woman and an amazing Mom.
My favorite memories of my mom were when she’d come visit me at school. I went to a relatively boring town for school, which has resulted in the rest of my family refusing to come visit me because they would have “nothing to do”. However, my mom has ventured to visit me several times and we’d have fun cooking together and sharing recipes!
Going to London with my mom! The food, the tours, the shopping. There is no one better to shop with than with your mom. We visited Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. We took a road trip to the cliffs of Dover and had fish and chips. We explored Oxford st, more than once. Overall, it was an incredible trip that I wouldn’t have done with anyone else.
The best and greatest memory I have with my mother is when every day i spend in an hour in the evening talking about my day at school or other problems i have we both watch the novelas or animal planet i love it
My favorite memory of my mom is when I saw her dancing at a wedding party a couple of years ago. She was so happy and it made me smile to see her having such a good time. My mother works very hard, and usually comes home after work to rest or work on paper work. so to see her just letting go, being comfortable in her own skin, and truly happy is the best! I also learned where I got my love of dancing from 🙂
My favorite memories of my mom are her taking me & my 5 sisters & bros to the drive-ins. Wearing are jammies and bringing a huge bag of popcorn. Those were the best.
The greatest memory with my Mommie is on my wedding day. She was with me all day helping me to get ready for what she called “the day I’d get my crown”. I am her princess and always will be. She said there was no better day than they I was born and now giving me away to a great man was indescribable”. She held my hand to the last second and told me to be happy always and to know her love will never change. 🙂
I LOVE my angel mother!!!
My mom and I aren’t very close, but we’re cordial. As I get older I see parts of her coming out in me, especially the part where she makes up silly songs while doing things around the house.
One of my earliest and fondest memories is mopping the kitchen floor with her. Her way of getting me to help was singing Sesame Street’s “Cooperation Makes It Happen”. I must’ve been very young because she’s so tall in my memory! We’re smiling and laughing and singing and making up lyrics together…there wasn’t much of that between us over the years but that moment lives with me forever. I think of it every time I mop my floors and catch myself making up silly songs.
My entire family is really tall, so I never wanted to wear heels to school dances and events because I hated that I towered over everyone else. When it was time to shop for a dress and shoes for my 8th grade dance, I couldn’t find any flats that I liked. My mom convinced me to get beautiful heels and I loved wearing them. Now, I’m not afraid to show off my height. Thanks, Mom!
My favorite memory with my mom was when my sister had finally left to college and me and my mom went shopping. My mom and my sister had always been the close ones so we never really tried hanging out until my sister had left. I remember just being 15 and trying to impress my mom by hoeing off how well I was performing in school and how I was trying to pick up extra curricular activities. I remember staring out of the window blankly, trying to remember everything impressive that I possibly could, hoping, I guess, that my mom would see that she still had an amazing daughter at home. Looking back I guess I was just trying to convince myself. Anyways, as I finished off my résumé (lol) she didn’t say anything at first and then she just said “I know how good you’ve been doing and I’m so proud of you! Why else do you think we’re going on this shopping spree? I ain’t got money to waste!” We of course laughed and I remember thinking that even though me and my mom may never be as close as she is with my sister, she’ll always be there for me. And for that, I will always love her! Happy Mother’s Day! 🙂
My favorite memory with my mom is everytime I get to see her. Whenever we are together something hilarious or memorable always happens.. She’s a class act and has raised me to have grace in all I do! She is amazing!
My favorite memory of my “meem” is when we used to do workouts together in my apartment livingroom to workout videos. She would come over after she gets off work, put some work out clothes on and we would pick a workout video to work out to. The one that made us laugh the most was a Kim Kardasian workout tape. It was one of my favorites because we would always laugh at how big Kim’s ass looked in the workout pants that she was wearing. Every angle that the camera shot of her butt led to both of us saying “dayam thats a big ayyyass!” Not only was her butt a comedic twist to a work out routine, but we also made fun of the fact that Kim, while doing the work out with her trainer, would make this blank open mouth stare into the camera and say “don’t forget to breathe, its really important that you breathe!” I mean come on! As if people somehow forget to breathe while watching her do this routine. Although I admit I did feel a little less intellegent watching her blankly stare at us with an almost puzzled expression during the entire workout video, but this line has stuck with every one of our workout routines since. Whenever we get together to work out I always make a point to look at my mom with the blank Kim Kardasian open mouth stare and say; “don’t forget to breathe!” This always creates the perfect mood for a good workout session and we always make eachother laugh trying to mimic Kim’s posture or her blank expressions. My “meem” truly is the most important person in the world because all the memories we make together are remembered in the silliest ways possible.
I have so many great ones but one of the best was when my mom was sick. She had over 30 tumors on her brain and had been in the hospital for more than a month when my 22nd birthday came around. I was planning on ignoring it, but my mom orchestrated a party for me. She had my sister order my favorite pizza and decorate the hospital room with tons of my favorite flowers. She sent her three friends to the mall to buy me gifts (I hear she gave them very specific lists lol). She surprised me with all this when I came to visit her and I think that is when I realized the depth of her love for me. She died less than 1 months after that and it was my best birthday ever.
When I was around ten years old, my elementary school was having a mother and daughter fashion show, so we both dressed up in black sparkly dresses, and to add a little bit of funk too our outfits, we wore black sunglasses. I had such a blast with her walking down the model runway, and so did my mom. It is defiantly going to be a memorie I will never forget for when I grow older!!
My favorite memory was when my mom took me to Disney for my 12th birthday and we went to the theme parks and had so much fun. I had never been to Disney because we couldn’t afford it, so when she surprised me it was the most amazing day. I love her for it.

The best memory I have of my mother is when I was 10 years old and we had just moved to the USA every weekend she and I would spend the whole day shopping and getting our nails done, but since I’ve gotten older we’ve done less and less things she and I could reconnect with this shopping spree. I love her and I wanna show her that by bringing back those memories back.
When I was young and very self-conscious, I had a downer day and was feeling quite bad about myself. My mom came up to me and asked me if she was beautiful. I said yes, and she said well then of course you are beautiful too since you are my daughter! It was very encouraging and I remember it to this day!
My mum has been through a lot in her life and as a result has become quite withdrawn but my most favorite memories are those few moments that the real her appears and we laugh and joke together and it feels like we are the only two in the world carefree and happy. I love my mum 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom when she was alive was when she would take me on secret shopping trips after picking me up from high school. It was how we bonded and it made it even more special. Love you mom! Rest In Peace.
Favorite memory of my mother and I is when I first approached her about getting a tattoo. I had a long speech prepared about why I wanted one, what I was going to get and how I would pay for it. Nonetheless, I only got about half way through my speech she jumped up and said “Let’s go girl ! We are getting tattooed together!”
My favourite memory with my mom was when we went to Disneyland with my sister, and we had girl moments<3 , i love my mom, she's my hero, she thaught me that womens have the same oportuninies and capacities as men<3
My favorite memory of my mom and I is bathing in the river in her home country of Grenada, W.I. It was beautiful trip during my childhood in which we I met many family members and learned a great deal about my culture. I had never been in a river before and the island is beautiful and peaceful, so that time between my mother and I was priceless. I hope to take her back sometime soon as we haven’t been able to go in years due to illnesses and obligations.
It took me a while to develop a close relationship with my mom. I always felt as if she didn’t understand me and I didn’t quite get her. Although, as I got older, it was as if we finally started to speak the same language. It all started with a line of communication, that happened on a shopping trip to the mall. We discussed the problems that we were running into while trying on sun dresses and cami’s. I told her the many things I loved about our relationship, as I tried to fit my size nine foot in a size 8 1/2 shoe. And we just laughed at crazy things about my dad, as we looked in the mirror at how ridiculous we both looked in plaid (she more than I; I can at least pass as a high school private school student :)). It was just a great time! My mother is beautiful inside and out and our relationship is stronger than ever. Furthermore, our closets house not only a crazy amount of clothes, but a lot of great memories. I love my mommy 🙂
I share too many memories and special times with my mom to have a favorite. My mother has taught me to be an independent woman and to live life how I want , not under anyone else’s rules. I will always love and respect my mother for that. She is the most caring and humble mother a girl could ask her. I am so thankful to have such a strong figure for a mother. On mothers day, we have made it a tradition now to walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. I think this is one of my favorite memories with her. It shows that she’s always thinking of others and looking for new ways to get the whole family involved. I love you Mom , happy mothers day & always, thank you.
Two years a go I was young, privy to the world around me, selfish and ignorant. My mom was always someone I got along with but I remeber she’d tell me all the time “we’re best friends,” but I blow it off like “I have my bestfriends and your too old.” Typical teen. Flash forward several months, I was diagnosed with some long word so above my head that I just nodded in agreement. That “long word” came to equal 6 rounds of chemo followed by another 3 and I am now currently in the middle of a bone marrow transplant! Where is my mom in all this? Everywhere. Every hope. Every optimistic gesture. She never left me; she never complained. She was my rock. She still is my rock. I love her. And I wouldn’t want to change these last years because we have grown so much closer. If you are wondering, yes….SHE IS MY BESTFRIEND!
Playing cards with my mom. It isn’t everyday that she’s free and when she did play cards with me and her family and I saw that spread smile on her face. I just wanted to savor that game forever.
I have had many great memories with my mother, but the best one was when I was going through a rough time in my life. We did not get along much during high school, but when my high school sweetheart broke up with me, my momma was my best friend. I had lost my “love” and best friends and really had no one for a long time. One day, we went to the movies and out to lunch. My mom told me that no boy should ever make me feel the way I did because I was the most amazing and beautiful girl. She went on to tell me how proud she was of me for being strong and for growing into the confident girl she knew I would be. I know she is my mom and has to say those things, but I genuinely felt her words. Ever since that day, my mom has been my best friend and the person I look up to most in life. I strive every day to be the beautiful, kind, strong woman she is so I can make her the proudest mother.
While in Preschool, my mother would bring me flowers when she picked me up from school. This is the sweetest memory of my mom and I. I now bring my 6 year old daughter flowers.
The best memory I have with my mom is when she use to tuck me into bed kiss my forehead and sing me a lullaby. And when I’d have a bad dream she’d comfort me and let me sleep on her bed. My mom has done a lot of inspirational things in my live and has helped me become the person I am today. She is the best. I love you mom.
Some of my favorite memories of my mom is when she visits when I’m in the hospital (like today!). I go in pretty regularly so she’ll walk me to the gift shop to buy some candy to eat so I don’t get so bored while being given antibiotics 🙂
My mother would tuck me into bed, kiss me and turn out the light almost every night I went to bed while I lived under my parent’s roof. I am now a young woman, who lives two hours away from home because of my dream career. My mom continues this bedtime ritual until this day when I visit.
every year we always go to the amusement park but my mom would never go on any of the rides and always say that she’ll watch our stuff for us… then 2 years ago,at the age of 56, she went on her first roller coaster ride with me! her facial expression was priceless but she still going that whole day. that was the first and last time she ever went on roller coasters and i am glad i got to experience it with her and held her hand through it all. she told me she was glad i talked her into trying it once and never regret it to this day. i honestly think i was more scared for her than she was. lol
My favorite memory with my mom was when we got tattoos together. It was something I always wanted, but my mom was extremely scared of how much it might hurt. No one else in my family really has tattoos and my moms parents don’t exactly approve of them. When I finally convinced her that it wouldn’t hurt too much and it would be something we would always share, we finally went to get them. I got “Behind Blue Eyes” on my hip (my pony that passed away when I was younger) and my mom got an anklet with each of her kids initials coming off in hearts. I watched her get her tattoo and she watched me get mine. I could see how much she thought it hurt so I held her hand through the whole thing and realized what she was going through for this moment. That is definitely true love. Facing such a big fear for a memory and bond that will last forever. I am so proud of you mom and you will always be an inspiration to me. Love you!
There are so many memories of me and my mother but there’s one that I’ll always remember. So, me and my mom have love for shopping online or in the mall. And it’s probably why we’re so much alike anyway, one day me and her went to the mall. We went to Hollister; nothing that caught our eyes. We want to Victoria Secert; same old same old. We went to JCPenny; weird looking flower dresses everywhere. BUT then we went to Aeropostale; now they had 80% off sale so I literally flipped out. My mom and I were the only ones in the store so I flipped out even more! All the shelves were packed and all the dressers were too. Me and my mom went left to right grabbing every single thing that we thought that was cute. Since me and my mom are the same size it was pretty fast. We finished in under 20min maybe? The cashier looked at us like as if we’ve never been shopping before. After we were done; my mom reminded me that we had to go fAmily shopping for the FAMILY; but instead me and my mom had ourselves a mini shopping spree. So, since then that memory was one of my many favorite memories with me and my mother. Pleaseeeee pick us; you guys no idea how much we love Lulus. .
I remember when I was young my mom took me dress shopping for my bat mitzvah! It was such a hard decision and she had spent so many hours with me trying to find a dress! I was so grateful to have such a wonderful mother to put in all of her time to take me to get a dress for one of the best days ever!
My favorite memory with my mom is when we went to the local fitness club and my mom made a membership for my family (mostly her to go there) I know this is a weird memory but it means a lot. My mom decided to go on a diet and to work out daily, I admired how determined she was to get fit. I remember we both went on the elipticle and my mom couldn’t stay on very long because she was so tired. “Baby steps” she would always say. It’s funny to me how she could only do about 2 minutes on it and now she does a spin class 2 days a week for about 2 hours. But a few months ago she lost her mom, she got depressed and gained a lot of the weight back. It only took her a couple weeks though to get back to the fitness club and try even harder! I admire her so much because she is still going for her goal. She is strong and I’m proud to be her daughter being only 13 years old(: I love my mom <3
There are many things about my mom that I admire..
one of them is her desire..
to work and raise a family.
For you see..
My mom has worked each and every day
but still made time along the way to spend time with me
and mold me into the woman I would one day be.
After work we drove off to basketball practice,
or ballet, or whatever activity it was that day.
Life was lived in the fast lane…but Mom still made time along the way..
for us to eat dinner together as a family.
I’m grown up now but my Mom’s work hasn’t stopped..
she’s currently juggling two jobs..when it comes to her the ball will never be dropped.
She taught me how to work hard and still have fun,
to make time for the people who are number one.
I love you, Mom!!
Best memory by far with my mom was last Summer when I begged her to go to the Thunder from Down Under show with me in Las Vegas! My mom is from the Philippines and she grew up super conservative so for her to do something like this was very out of the ordinary but we had a great time and she cannot wait to do it again in August 🙂
When i was 40 weeks old pregnant me and My mom was in hospital for routine examination.My baby heart sound was a little bit slow.thenurse told me do something to wake her up.I tried to do many things,but nothing.My mom touch my belly,and whispered something to my baby.suddenly the heart beat was faster.That afternoon my baby was born.:) my mom twhispered her:The time is here to check this world! :)That was so wonderful!
Some of the greatest memories I have with my mom are of when we’ve just been sitting at home talking and joking together! My mom has an incredible sense of humor and her wit and charm are what keep me laughing all the time!
I think my favorite memory with my mom was last year when I went to Iowa to play in a soccer showcase. I left with my team and coach a few days before. I was pretty bummed that nobody could see me play because it was already too expensive to send me. I got through security and we got to the hotel or whatever, pretty chill night to prepare for the morning game. When my team got to the fields we all started warming up and our first exercise is to jog across the soccer field and back twice. When we were halfway across the field, I saw someone on the sideline setting up their chair that resembled my mom ALOT. I stopped and looked and it was my mom, my dad and her had chipped in money to get here to Iowa to suppor me in what I love doing. I’ll never forget how much it meant to me that she was at my first college soccer showcase.
I remember like it was yesterday only it was over ten years ago next month. It was a warm June day like another in the south, only that day was my birthday. After making her home made pancakes, eating a dozen of them, and watching cartons all morning she looked at me with the biggest smile and asked me what I wanted to do the rest of the day and I told her whatever she wanted. She took my hand and we made our way to the car. What seemed like hours later we pulled up to this building with neon signs, advertising things I never heard of before- manicure, pedicure, and Nail lacquire. The first thing that caught my eye as we made our way through the bells of fanfair announcing our arrival as if we were guest to the grand ball in Cinderella, were the rows of thrones with funny looking bowls at the bottom of each one lining the walls. My mom, who had seemed to transform into my fairy god mother by then told the ladies behind the desk to give me what ever I wanted it was my birthday. They took me to a wall, full of strange little bottles filled with paint- I would later learn that is was nail polish and is was going on my hands and feet. And not paper as I originally assumed and wondered how on earth I could ever finish my masterpiece with the littlest of brushes that could possible fit in the bottles. At the time it seemed like the hardest thing in my life, I didn’t know how on earth I would choose between the billions of colors so what else did I do? I found my mom and as usual she with her loving smile helped, we picked a vibrant burnt orange and she choose her signature red- a red I have always seen her wear to this day and ever since I can remember so does her mother (like her loving smile that has been passed from generations to her and to myself) . My mom help me into one of the big thrones and took of my favorite pair of jelly sandals, and to my amusement the bowl beneath my feet begin to feel with colorful water and bubbles. My mom sat next to me looking like a queen in her throne telling me to be still and stories of when she was a kid and the first time her mom took her to the nail salon… After being tickled and fixing the nails I had smudged trying to show of my new accessory. We headed home were my family and friends were waiting to my surprise, we had cake and ice cream and I showed off my new nails my mommy had got me to anyone I could get to listen about the magic my mom had just performed. I later came to realize that this was out of all the memories I have left of my mom, the day I got my first mani-pedi with my mom and looking back was my favorite, not because i enjoyed watching her as she made friends with the nail technicians and the smile on her face as she made me pancakes that morning and the same smile she had as I showed her my new nails and she played along in amazement as if she had never seen such a sight. I loved my mom and every time I look at the ultra pro- chili pepper polish that sets in my medicine cabinet, I realize it is my favorite memory of her because of her smile the happiness she had that day, I remember her, her smile and and the love she showed to others and they will always be my favorite memory with her. xoxo for you mom.
One of my favorite memories was my tenth birthday spent with my mom in Chicago. It was just us two and we stayed in at the W hotel. Each night we would go to the pier and watch fireworks and ride rides. Even without all that stuff it was nice just being able to spend time with my mom, my best friend,having fun together.
I have so many amazing memories with my mom. Being an only child, she’s not only my mother, but also my best friend. Some of my favorite memories are when I was little and my mom and I would both put curlers in our hair in the mornings and matching robes. She would drink sweet tea and I would drink hot chocolate while we read the morning newspaper. I am so thankful for all the sacrifices, advice, and never ending love my mom has given throughout the years. From helping me deal with mean girls and sleeping with me every night for weeks during difficult breakups to helping me redo my entire new house, I know she will always be there for me for the big and the small things.
My greatest moment with my mom was when i became my self a young single mother, i was on my own and she show me how to become a wonderful single mother like her. She gave me conference and gave me all the tools i needed to succeed in life. She raised 4 girls on her own and she did a wonderful gob she was a mother and father and until this day me being 33 years old she still there for us. Mommy i love uuuu and thank u for everything.
Some of my favorite memories of my mom were when my sister and I would be swimming in our pool and my mom would sit outside with us while my dad made us iced tea and when it came lunch time, she would bring us out dinosaur chicken nuggets. I asked her about what her favorite memory with me was and she said the exact same thing!
My mom and I have shared many long lasting experiences. Although it is hard to choose only one, I would have to say my favorite one is when she came to a picnic with me at school. I wasn’t having the best day, but having my mom by my side made it better. Even though it was a small event that occurred that day, it is one of my happiest memories. It was really fun, and I will always cherish that day. Happy Mother’s Day!
My favorite memory of my mom and I would have to be Fourth of July weekend 2010. I had planned this entire birthday surprise at her job, however that went haywire when she was dismissed from work early. As I hustled to get my brother and sister to Manhattan, I had to also keep her at the workplace. I kept her busy by making frequent trips to her office with work to sign to keep her busy. Right as she caught on to my gimmick, my brother and sister showed up with flowers, cake and a present (Lancôme perfume). She was so excited and even blushed. The look on her face made everything worth while; I love surprising her.
My favorite memory with my mom is when I would go to my chemotherapy treatment appointments she would be by my side for four hours long and we would watch the Wendy Williams show and we would be laughing together at everything Wendy would say, that’s a memory I will never forget, knowing she was by my side everyday.
I remember I went to Lulus for the first time and I felt like I stepped into a fantasy world. The store was beautiful with its neat and tidy organization and its cute clothing selections. I love shopping at Lulus. It’s what any girl can ask for…
A memory of my mother and I that I hold deep in my heart is just throughout my teen years the days when she would pick me up from school and we would take whatever we could find that resembled a microphone, everything form a hair brush to a pencil, and just sing our heart out to silly songs like “Stronger” by Britney Spears to “Country Grammar” by Nelly. There is something about little moments when your mom feels like the only one who understands and knows JUST what you need to make you smile. I love you mom! This ones for you xoxo
Its simple but until now, my mom and I would always lay down together and tell each other secrets and talk for hours!! And I’m 17 lol. She is truly my best friend.
The greatest memories I have with my mother are all in the kitchen, she literally taught me everything I know in the kitchen and in my over all life, and as I get older I learn to appreciate it every moment I get with her more and more, I can only aspire to do the same with my own children.
It was like 5-7 years ago my mom was diagnosed with Cancer and I have never seen her before because I have always lived with my dad and when my aunts took me to her house I finally met her and she was really sweet and our relationship grew from there but we still have difficults but I still love her and will always remember this special moment.
My favorite memory of my mother would have to be one Christmas Eve during the year of 1995. I was six years old my mother told me to go to sleep and leave some chocolate chip cookies for Santa. So I did. She woke me up at 6am and said, hurry hurry wake up Santa is out side waiting for you! So I rushed out of bed and ran with my mom to the front porche of my house. My mom looks at me and said, oh no Santa left! I was bummed out but I asked her if she saw Rudolph the red nose reindeer and she said yes!!! His nose was really bright and red. I asked her why Santa left so fast she said bc Santa had to deliver gifts to kids all over the world. I told her next time mom you have to wake me up as soon as he gives you my gifts. My mom agreed and just smiled at me. I could remember this day like it was yesterday. My mom is awesome! I loved her imagination. I now know why I have a big imagination. I love my mom she’s the best!!!! Xoxo
One of my many favorite memories of my mom and I is on the day of my birthday she said that she didn’t get the cake that I wanted. Then as my family was singing “Happy Birthday” to me I see my mom coming with the cake I wanted. She had a smile on her face and she made me laugh. After they finished singing to me they kept saying to take a bite of the cake. So I lean down to take a bite, and then BAM! My mom’s hand comes in, and she pushes my face into the cake. She got me so good that some frosting went into my nose! Everyone started laughing, and I did too. I went up to her, hugged her, and then I put some frosting on her. No matter what foolish things my mom does to me, I will always love her. I appreciate everything she does for me. Love you mom!
I love how me and my mom share our clothes with each other and there was that one time when planned a joke on my brother that he got acceptef at a collage and all lol he was so happy and it was a good prank though.
People always think we are sisters so that is just great I love my mom and I hope some day I would be able to reply her what she did with me 🙂 <3
The best memory that I have of me and my mom is when we spent the hole day in the car talking about everything in her life and in mine. It really made me appreciate her way more. I love her so much.
My fondest memory of mom is when I was little and still to this day whenever I visit, my mom would come in my room every night when she thought I was asleep and stare at me for a minute and then give me a kiss and say “I love you” and I would say “I love you too”. She would be so surprised because she always thought I was sleeping but I’m a very light sleeper so I always knew when she came into my room. I miss it a lot, and I also do it to my baby girl today.
My favorite memory of my mom is from when I was very little, and I had a playhouse out in the yard. Every so often she would come into the house with me and have a tea party, pouring “tea” (apple juice) from my little teapot. We ate m&m’s, spoke in British accents, and just had fun being with each other. She’s my best friend <3
I have a million great memories with my mom but my favorite is probably the time my mom took me to Belize and we went snorkeling with reef sharks. We were out doing a lobster survey with the Belize Fisheries department in Glover’s Reef Atoll and we were on the boat when I noticed a fin sticking out of the water…all of the guys had already jumped in the water and my mom and I contemplated whether to leave them or to jump in. We both looked at each other and said “you only live once, let’s live on the edge” and we jumped in. I am so glad we did because not only can we say we sham with sharks but we also saw an amazing display put on by some bait fish the sharks were after. It will always be one of my fondest memories! P.S. Go visit Belize!
My favorite memory of my mom is my senior prom. My mom and I aren’t as close as I wish for us to be but that was one of the memories I share with her. I felt as if we bonded like never before. Just being there with her made me happy. I love my mom with all my heart. (:
One of my many favorite memories with my mom was about 2 years ago when I took her to see Prince in concert(My 5th time, her first time). That night I realized where my crazy concert antics came from. She was screaming louder then I was!! One of my funniest and funnest concert nights ever. #letsgocrazy
A great memory of my mom and I had to be the summer of 12 .This summer I was entering my first year of college, my mom sat me down and we looked through some old photo albums I’ve never seen. She started explaining how our family in Sierra Leone West Africa are very proud of me being the first to attend college especially as a seamstress like my great grandma.Her sharing that information made me want to work even harder to make my great grandma proud and my mother proud as well!
My favorite memories with my mom are when my mom, sister and I are all together. We love to give each other a hard time and make jokes about one another. Laughing till we cry. We make it a point to have these lil get-togethers often!!!
One of the fondest memories my mother and I share is when we went on a family vacation to Peru. She says she loves to watch my siblings and I travel and enjoy ourselves in the culture. Oh boy, did my sister immerse herself in the culture. I was with my whole family in a taxi, and there was a young Peruvian man loading up the taxi with out luggage. He and my sister, Sam had been somewhat flirty. But, when we left, he said goodbye to my family and I, and then stuck out his hand to my sister, and said, “I will wait for you.” I was sitting next to my mom, and we started laughing hysterically and cracking jokes on my sister. It was the best time and I realized how lucky I was not just have a mom, but a best friend. Now, till this day, we still wonder if he thinks about my sister and laugh so hard every time.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she said that I can do ANYTHING if I set my mind to it! Even if the whole world is saying no… She will always believe in me…. 😉 and would always be there for me…
It’s hard to choose a favorite memory because it feels like every day I spend with her gives me a new one. I love all of the memories I have of her sitting at the end of my bed while I’m laying in it talking about anything and everything. Sometimes she lets out this ridiculous laugh and I can’t help but smile thinking about it. If you would have told me when I was younger that my mother would become my best friend, I wouldn’t have believed you. But it has definitely happened! And I am so thankful:) I love you Mom❤
I can’t pinpoint any memory as my favorite … my mom has been fantastic every day of her life. She has been my life-line time and again. I love you, mom! Wouldn’t trade you in for anything. (:
My favorite memory of my mothers and I would have to be when my dad was in the hospital and my mom was scared of elevators, but we both knew we had to go visit him o the top floor. So we held hands and together we patiently rode up to the top and made it safely with each other and got to accomplish her fear and tell my dad all about it!
My favorite memory with my mom, was when her and I went shopping together and tried on all of the same outfits! It was a blast! After, we went out for a fabulous dinner!
My mom is my best friend. I don’t have a specific example, there are SO many! She is always there for me, to talk about anything. We have so much fun together, talking and joking. She is always there for me and has my back. Love you Mom. xoxo
My mom and I have a lot of great memories together, but if I had to choose it would be the time where she finally had a night off and my sister, my brother’s girlfriend, and I plus my mom all went to a GIRLS NIGHT OUT function. What made this night memorable was because it was the first time that I have ever seen my mother drink and I was 20 at that time. We laughed so much that night and we also went to bar tending class and she made a margarita which was hilarious because she did not know what she was doing and we were all tipsy and having so much fun! Then she finally decides to cut my sister off because she had to drive us all home, but the funny part was that my mom was drunk not my sister, and I have it on video where she would not let her drink! It was such an amazing night, it was good to see my mom enjoy herself for once and not have to worry about anything. Then she would not let me drink because I was underage and she hardly speaks english so she kept saying stop it and slapping us which made it extra hilarious because she sounded so squeaky! Oh what alcohol does to you when you drink, it brings out the fun in us !
My mother is the most inspirational and amazing person in my life! She is my best friend and I tell her everything and she is a hot mama so we get to share clothes! 🙂 My favorite moment with my mom is any moment, but the winning moment would have to be when we flew to Washington D.C. for just one adventurous day to hang out! I love her!
A favorite memory I’ve had with my Mom and I was when I randomly told her that I love everything that she has done for me and my whole family. It’s how so much pain and frustration mother’s can go through! So I just thanked her for my life and for ALWAYS being there. I could see the tears in her eyes, and she told me that no one has ever thanked her before, so she thanked me and gave me the most meaningful hug I’ve ever had.
My favorite past time with my mom is all the time I have spent with her. My mom is my hero my father left us leaving my mom to raise 4children. My mom had nobody she’s not from the US. My mom learned English went to school and became a nurse and was able to raise her children comfortably. She is an amazing strong woman and is my inspiration! Love her so much she is truly great mother.
Happy Mother’s Day lulus!!!!
My all time favorite memory with my mom would be our first bake sale. Our neighborhood was having a bake sale contest and my mom thought it would be cool to enter. It was the next day so we had to run to the store buy tons of dough and stay up all night. We stayed in the kitchen for at least 6 hours and talked about boys and such things. When we were done we had flour all over us and couldn’t look at another pastry. We didn’t win the contest but we did raise enough money for charity. Those conversations we had and spending time with her was my favorite memory of all time. (:
My greatest memory of my mom was in June 2012. After about 15 years of working and taking classes,, I watched my mother walk across the stage as a college graduate!!!!! It was the greatest feeling. My mother is beautiful, determined, strong and that day was epic for her, myself and our family. Lack of money, lack of time or raising 3 children, none of that stopped her. She always said “it may take me a while but I will finish”. And she did. I am so proud of her.
My greatest memory of me and my mom was when I was 6 I was walking home from school. It was in the country so it was dirt roads. A little bully by the name of John pushed me on the ground and I scrapped up all my elbows and knees. When I made it home I was in tears. My mother was concerned and asked what was wrong. As I was sobbing and trying to explain she wiped my storm of tears with her hands and kisses me on my forehead. She then proceeded to say don’t cry sweetie, god allowed you to get back up and give your mother a kiss with a beautiful view of a waterfall, all we’re missing is the RAINBOW. Being that I was do young I began laughing and when I got older I asked what was the rainbow symbolizing. It was the unity of me her and my dad sharing a hug to comfort me. I love this story.
my favorite memory of my mom is probably all the nights we spent together sipping green tea and eating cookies while watching the golden girls and talking about life. it’s the little things! :] <3
My mom is really sick now and she hasn’t felt pretty in a while. Every time we can get her all dolled up and I see her smile, it just melts my heart. Those are the greatest memories of all time!
I have so many favorite memories with my mom, but my favorite is when we went to see the black eyed peas at state college! It was just me and her so it was extra special because I usually take friends. The whole trip was fun. On the way down we talked about anything and everything and at the concert we danced and sang together and to finish it off we went to enjoy ice cream at the creamery! It was deffinitely one of my favorite memories with my wonderful mother!
Nothing can be compared to the love a my mother. Her love is incomparable, unconditional and inseparable. No matter where I go or what I do, at the end of the day I will always love you. But, it was my thirteenth birthday and no one ever said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to me so, I was so sad and felt like everyone forgot my birthday. But, that wasn’t the case. My mother planned a trip to California and everyone knew about it even my friends. It was the best memory ever. We had a lot of quality time together. It just nice to just sit and talk to your mother once and a while. It’s really hard to do that when your mother works a lot.
A favorite memory of mine of my mom is when we were stuck in traffic one day and she started telling me stories about her youth. She told me she went to a concert to see Menudo (Ricky Martin’s band when he was younger) when she was younger with her sisters and that when she saw him on stage she tried getting on there with them. She was caught by security guards and sent back to her seat. I love this memory because its one of her memories as well and it always makes me laugh imagining her running to see Ricky Martin.
I remember the day my dad left my mom she held on to me and cried and promised me that she will never leave me and. you know what she never did.. Love you MOM!!!
A favorite memory that I will always remember about my mom is, I called my mom telling her that my boyfriend at the time proposed (kind of, it was not very romantic haha) she started laughing because she is always silly and loves to mess around. She thought I as lying and I told her no mom I’m serious and of course I started laughing too cause I got the silly side from her as well. She was still giggling and was happy and congratulated me and my fiancee. I love my mom with all my heart and I would literally take a bullet for her. I might even get my mom’s Chinese name as a tattoo. Thank you for the giveaway!
The fondest memory I have with my mother would probably be the last time we pulled out a box filled with family photos. We were looking through a vast majority of photos when we stumbled upon one that we thought was lost to the times. It is of my mother and I holding hands walking out of a garden together, taken when I was 3. We stopped and looked at each other and both started to cry. I just felt this warmth and natural bond between my mother and I then, it’s kind of rare now that I am in college but it is a photo we both got copies of. I now hang the original on my refrigerator and it makes me smile when I look at it. My mom is my best friend and I miss her right now…
My favorite memory of my mom is the morning I left for college (my dad and older brother were moving me in) she hugged me and told me not to forget about her. I laughed and said, ‘Mom, how I could ever forget about my mother?” She said, “You won’t have me everyday to see so I don’t want you to forget my love.”
No matter how corny it was that day, that memory sticks out to me the most because whenever I go weeks/months without physically seeing my mom the inner child in me knows I can’t ever forget her love.
One of the best memories I had with my mom was driving in San Francisco. We drove to Fisherman’s Wharf to enjoy the seaside and the entertainment. We thought why not go downtown and so we went back on the road. Bad choice to go to downtown San Francisco without looking at a map ahead of time, especially since we didnt live there. So I became the GPS for her and told her directions. However, we stumbled across an extremely steep street that continuously climbed higher and higher after it. Once we thought the horror was over, we came across another steep street but this wasn’t just steep it was like facing a ginormous wall! My mom screamed ‘Holy Moly! This is the Great Wall of China!’
One of my favorite memories with my mom was also something shared with my grandma. It was when my husband and I were moving into our first home. My mom would show up with either a coffee or diet pepsi in hands, ready to work. My husband and I had rented a small 2 bedroom place for 3 years. We had accumulated alot of stuff. My mother and Grandma were there every day of the move. It was a time when we all shared funny stories from our lives, many were when I was just a baby. I heard stories about my grandparents when they were first married (married now for 53 years)and then listening to my mom tell me stories of when her and my dad were first married. They would take over the packing of items and ask me to tell them what box to place it in and where to put it. I really enjoyed the process of moving because it was a time of family stories and laughter.
I was going in for breast cancer surgery and while i was in hospital room waiting my mom put on the plastic gloves in room and was acting like she was the doctor all i could do was laugh and she put me at ease surgery was a success
My favorite memory about my mom is her teaching my how to braid hair on my baby dolls .. I would get frustrated when the braid would unravel n I couldn’t find a barett so one day I put nail glue on the end of the braid and asked her to hold it for me..she was busy watching tv and thought it was wet bec I put gel on it..5min later “MAIAAAA!!” Lololol I said ” well mom
You told me to be creative..we both laugh til this day about it..luckily I ended up with a baby boy 🙂
My mother. She’s more than a preschool TEACHER, WIFE to my father, and MOTHER of me and my 3 siblings. She’s also oldest SISTER to my 6 aunts and uncles and oldest DAUGHTER to my grandmother, who also was the oldest child in her family. My delight the day I discovered, when I was 13 or so, that I am the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter in my family! I used to want to have an older sibling, someone to look up to after always having so much blame and responsibility. But it took her to make me realize: It was leadership, not burden, that rested on the head woman’s shoulders. She’s a DREAMER. We’ve dreamt up a billion businesses and restaurants and shops and cafes to open. Franchises to build. Inventions to create. So it’s no surprise I’m in my own entrepreneurial endeavors. She’s a FRIEND. My favorite memory of my mother was a holiday, when our huge family was over. I had said something short, snappy, and curt about the lameness of my mother to one of my aunts when she smiled and said:”Your mom said the exact same thing about your grandmother at your age!” My mother grinned silently over the stove, knowing the truth of it, and I let go of my anger, realizing that one day it would be me telling my 14 year old daughter she can’t date that guy either. And I would be glad to be my mother. I salute all the mothers and females who have touched my life, and give most of all, my strong mother. Live long and prosper!
my favorite memory of me and my mom is going to the beach together. it was absolutely sublime just lounging on the beach. too busy for that now that i have kids we don’t get that quality time just the two of us anymore.
My mom is such an inspiration to me. She literally will drop everything she is doing when I call, just so we can talk. One of my favorite memories of ours is when we went to the town pool when I was about 8. To this day she will NEVER ever go underwater in a pool because she hates to get her hair wet or get water in her ears. This particular time, it was just me and her without my siblings and I asked her if she would go underwater so that we could jump off the diving board together. She did it! This is just one of many sacrifices she has made for me over the years, simply because she loves me and wants to see me smile!
When I went off to college, and began my journey as an adult dealing with the “realness” of life on my own, I then realized how much my mom really loved me and is my number one best friend. This memory may seem strange to some, but I will never forget this moment because this was the first time I seen my mom not just as the woman standing over me telling me what to do; but walking next to me, teaching me how to go on. It was my first year in college, and I lost my virginity to an athlete, who I thought actually liked me. I soon realized the harsh reality of men, sex, and the hurt that comes with it. I was fresh out of high school, classified as the good girl at home and at school, and walked a pretty straight path. Needless to say, I was distraught, hurt, shamed and disappointed. I debated if I was going to tell my mom because she expected high standards from me, and I knew she would KILL me if she found out. But, I turned to her because I had nowhere else to go. I broke down in tears to reveal my shame, and my mom showered me with love and wisdom. She said, “Ohhh baby, it’s okay. You’ve always been so hard on yourself; understand no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Your value has not diminished in my eyes. Now, you hold your head up high, keep pushing forward, and walk in victory! Remember I love you, and I’m glad you know you can come to me about anything and I will NEVER judge you.” What a relief lol thanks mom
My favorite memory about my mom was when she gave me a pair of her favorite chestnut colored calfskin boots!! I knew she really loved them and it touched my heart that she was willing to part with them, granted that she is a major shoe and handbag lady!!! She really encouraged me to dress for me and establish my own style!! She is the BOMB!!! I love that foxy lady!!!!
Us going to North Carolina together for a week without any boys.
At night we would stay up until midnight or later and watch Switched At Birth or other shows.
For two of the days we taught a cooking class together.
WE would complain about the neighbors and how those teenagers thought they had the right to play Frisbee where our car was then put a sign up to not park there.
I have always loved shopping with my mother and now more than ever. My father recently died and my mom and I have been having a hard time but retail therapy always seems to help. I can’t think of just one favorite memory of my mom, I just love how wonderful and strong she is all the time. She inspires me to be just like her when I grow up. She is my best friend and I can’t wait to create more and more great memories with her.
My favorite moment with my mother would have to be every single one..For those of you who grew up with a single mother you will understand this. Now that I am older and have a child of my own I realized how difficult it must have been. She would take me out of school some days and we would just pick up and take a drive and have no plan at all. Most of the time we ended up at the beach. It was nice and we always enjoyed the simple things . I’m only 23 now , but I would have to say I miss the simply things and times when technology didn’t take over your family time. Growing up with a strong mother like mine truly made every moment with her a treasure.
Take care of your mothers ladies and happy Mother’s Day to all.
My favorite thing that my mom and I are constantly doing is taking really awful pictures of ourselves and sending them to each other. It’s the funniest thing ever and always the best thing to do/see when you’re having a not so great day!
One of my favorite moments with my mom was when we went to New York together and i took her thrifting with me. It was so interesting seeing her realize that not only do I shop, but I do it cheaply! Really, it was just nice spending time with her and letting her into a world of discounted shopping, and showing her how many nice things you can get without going to department stores.
A favorite memory of my mom is when I was little and she use to comb my hair every night. Even though this was something small it was special to me because it was our time! I had my mom all too myself. We still have this time now every once in a while, but it’s the other way around. I’m doing her hair now! 🙂
one of my greatest memories with my mommy is the time when I was 8 and I had peed in the bed. I was soo in embarrassed so I covered it with my covers hoping she wouldn’t find it. She then came looking for me because she called me for breakfast and I took a long time to come. She came into the room and smelled something funny. She asked me what is that smell and where is it coming from. I pretended not to know what she was talking about and tried to make her leave before she could find out. She then begin to sniff it out I was so scared I would get in trouble I stated to cry and just told on my self. she stated to laugh at me because how silly I was acting about. she gave me a big hug and said it was okay and that she use to pee in the bed at my age to and its nothing I should be embarrassed about just next time tell her so we can fix the problem. Then she laugh again and called me pissy missy as a funny name to make me laugh. After all that I know from then on I could go to my mom for anything no matter how embarrassing. I hate that name but…. I LOVE MY MOMMY <3
When I was a young women, I loved when me and my mother bonded. And how we bonded was to go shopping. My mothetwas a fancy dresser, and I got my fashion sense from her. Love you mom, happy mothers day in Heaven! !

My favorite memory of me and my mom was on our first trip to Disney World. I was 8 years old. There was a ride in Tommorrowland that was on top of a building. They were space ships. My mom couldn’t here the announcement explaining the directions, so when the ride “took off” she told me to pull back on the stick. So I did. I pulled back on the stick to the point where our space ship was literally on its side and it took my mom everything she had in her to hold me in and keep me from falling out! Sounds scary, but was actually one of those moments you look back on and laugh!!
One of my favorite memories of my mom was my fifteenth birthday. She insisted on throwing me a quinceanera even though we aren’t Spanish. She went all out. We had mexican food, spanish music, she rented a really fancy venue, followed all the quinceanera rules, and even brought me this beautiful red dress. The highlight of the whole thing was seeing her so happy and proud of me. It was the best. I love my mom!
I remember when I was about 7 and my older sister 8, we went with our mom to pick up my dad at work when we got rear-ended really hard! The first thing my mom did was jump out of the car and to the back seat to make sure we were okay.. She held onto us so tight! I remember that day so vividly! I love my mom!
My favorite memory of my mom is when my boyfriend of two years cheated on me, I would cry everyday, i did’nt want to go to school anymore, I even stop eating too but Every morning she would make me a lovely breakfast and force me to eat and give me a long explanation on how everything was going to be okay and then one day she threw me a surprise party for no reason and she invited all my friends and family, she told me she threw it so I could get my mind off of things and I did, we both had alot of fun that day. I love my mom she is the best.
My mom…she’s the kind of mom that knows exactly whats going on in my head without having to say a word. At the same time she’s my favorite open ear and best opinion around. My absolute favorite memory, aside from playing dress up & trying on full skirted dresses to test the “twirl factor”.. (still do it today!) is….
When I was a little girl, almost every night before bed I would sit in my moms lap as she put curlers in my pin-straight hair so I could wake up and be “goldilocks.” One night she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “you know Rachael, one day you’re no longer going to fit in my lap like this.” I’ve never felt so loved and have never forgotten it.
Love you Mom!! -Can’t wait to twirl test the wedding gowns! <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when we danced together in a dance recital for my dance studio. We were dancing on stage side by side and at the end of the recital, when people asked, “Is that your mother?” I answered proudly, “Yes.” My mom’s dream was to become a dance teacher and she taught me when I was little. I love my mom.
Well for starters I love my mother with every feeling in my body. She supports me through everything. My favorite memory of my mother is when she held my hand through life and that’s every moment of my life up until college, she let go and said “I’m setting you free for now and since I love you, I know you’ll be back. Just do me a favor and bring me that awesome Bachelors degree when you arrive.” I love her!
There are so sooo many deeply sweet memories with my mama that I treasure that it is hard to pick just one. I have been so deeply blessed with a rich friendship with her that continues to grow. She is my number one supporter, influencer, and cheerleader and I continue to be impressed daily with the hurtle’s she constantly overcomes, and the things she grows in. I think one of my all time favorite memories with her is so simple but something that I will always remember and treasure. Mother to five kids, my mama would place a chair between our bedrooms in the hallway to read little house on the prairie and countless other stories to us before bed. I remember so many times where we would all wait breathlessly as she would overcome sobs or giggles during emotional parts of the stories. After each bed time chapter she would come to each of us individually and wrap us in a “burritto.” She would take the blanket and tuck it in around us and roll us around and push us and pretend to eat us with kisses. We would all squeal with delight and then beg for more! haha She still does that very occasionally. Love her so so much. The fun has only increased. I’m so blown away with how blessed I am to have her for my mother.
My mother is from Poland, she does things differently then most moms, old remedies she knows I guess. Frozen polish sausage as a teether was one of them. She’s in her late 60s now and watches my sisters daughter, whom I rarely see. One day watching them two together while my sister at work, was like looking back at me or my sis with our mom. She was singing in Polish and doing this polish dance to entertain the little one. It brought tears to my eyes being able to hear and see that song/dance again. Love you mom!! Your the greatest!!
My mother was a wonderful woman, full of life and style. She passed too soon at 70, and I try my best to imbue her qualities into myself and share them with my daughters, now 21 and 24. She had style when money was short and opportunities to purchase cool clothing and accessories small–I can’t believe that I can now do my best to show that that is still possible in today’s world!
My favorite memory with my mother is when I graduated from high school and we were on our way to drop me off at college. She & I were the only ones that went, out of my whole family, and it was awesome because it was a 7-8 hour drive and we talked about everything: stuff we had never talked about, to memories we shared, to stuff I never knew about her, etc. It fundamentally changed me as a person and enabled me to see my own mother in a different, but fuller light.
My Mother passed away when I was younger,I live with my aunt that I call mom. My Favorite Memory with Her is when I was 10 years old I decide to call her mom
My favorite memory of my mom is actually on Mother’s Day about 10 years ago. I have four sisters and we were extremely determined to make sure that my mom had the BEST Mother’s Day ever. The morning began with breakfast in bed for her (two pieces of toast with jelly and a cup of orange juice…it’s not like four kids under 12 could make anything more elaborate). After breakfast, we had her enter our makeshift “spa” which included a massage station, a nail station and a hair station. With the sincerest intentions, we attempted to make her as comfortable as possible, however, looking back on that now, it seems highly unlikely that she wa relaxed. Picture it: four little girls poking and prodding on your back and feet, getting nail polish all over your hands, and pulling your hair relentlessly. The fact that my mom went through with all of this with a great attitude is incredible to me. Mom’s have this incredible ability to act selflessly, especially when it comes to their children. Seeing as Mother’s Day was on a Sunday, we went to church after the “spa treatment.” Being the good sport that she is, she kept the tight braids in her usually rather voluptuous hair and didn’t remove any of the nail polish on her hands. Looking back now, I can appreciate so much more how much she sacrifices each day for us, whether its simply wearing her hair in a funny way to church, or skipping work to take care of us when we’re sick. Mothers are as close to superheroes as we can get. Without my mom, I would be so lost in this vast world.
Growing up my mom and I had a very strained relationship. My mom worked and traveled a lot and I had nannies take care of me most of childhood. As I got into my teen years our relationship got stronger and we found more things to bond over…until I was 18 and came home one day to tell her I was pregnant. Through out my whole pregnancy my mom kept we distance, we didn’t talk much. She was disappointed and angry.
The day came when I went into labor and who was the one and only person by my side? My mom. Holding my hand, coaching me through everything and letting me know everything was going to be all right. She never life my side the whole 32 hours (the most painful 32 hours of my life!! Lol) . Finally my son was born and my mom was there to spend the special moment with me. When I had no one else to be there by my side, she was there. From that moment we shared and even more powerful bond because I too was a Mom! She taught me that no matter how disappointed I may be, I always must stand by child’s side just like she did for me. From that day on our relationship has never been better. She’s my best friend…and free babysitter 😉
My best mom memory … when I lived in PA, we used to get pizza at our favorite local joint each Friday and take it to my Nana’s house. One day, when I was about 12, we came back and like always, we set the pizza box on top of the gas stove so everyone could grab slices. Unbeknownst to everyone, my little brother (4 or 5 at the time) turned the dial on the stove up to high when no one was looking. We’re sitting around, eating and chatting when my nana goes, “I smell something burning!” And my mother shushes her, because historically, my nana is ALWAYS smelling something burning. About two minutes later, my nana says the same thing, “something is burning, I swear!” And my mother tells her to shush up and stop freaking out over nothing. This happens two or three more times, with my nana and mother arguing over each other’s imaginary sense of smell, when all of a sudden, my big brother turns around and goes “MOM, THE PIZZA BOX IS ON FIRE!” And my mother screams at him, “DANIEL, DO NOT ENCOURAGE YOUR GRANDMOTHER!” Dan grabs her by the shoulders and spins her around to see that there are flames shooting out of the pizza box. My mom starts screaming “THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN!” and my brothers and I have to run out of the room, we’re laughing so hard. Finally, my mom throws the pizza box in the sink and douses it with water, all while my nana is yelling at her, “See, Jennifer, you never believe me!!!” Plenty of good Catholic guilt was used that night.
My top favorite moment spent with my mother was having her by my side, front and center during the birth of my first born son and her first grandson. She was supposed to help hold my leg up while I pushed but unfortunately got caught up in the moment when my son finally emerged and dropped my leg to do a quick happy dance! I’m more than grateful she was there for me to see the girl she gave life to, give life to another. another.
My favorite memory with my mom is not necessarily the sweetest… When I was a teen, I would stay out so late & not call her to tell her I was going o be out late. When I get home, she would lecture me and threaten to disown me. The next morning she would wake me up for something she had cooked up that she knew I would like. Food was definitely the way to our hearts lol.
My favorite Mom memory was the day that my siblings and I got her a rabbit for Christmas, which might seem kind of silly, but she’d seen these Lion Maned Rabbits at a county fair that summer, and she fell in love with them. She did all this research and everything about them. So, my siblings and I decided to get her one! Also, my dad did not want a new pet in the house, but we knew that Mom wanted one so bad, and we also knew that my dad would just get over it, and he too loves our rabbit Rudy now.
My favorite memory with my mother would probably just be my entire childhood. I no longer have a relationship with her, but when I did, she was my best friend. My whole life, I’ve lived with my grandparents, so my mother would constanly visit me, when she could, at their home when I was younger. She would come over and we’d play games. We’d also put together a lot of puzzles, cause my mom loved puzzles, and I remember always thinking she was so cool and smart because she could put pieces together so quickly, while it took me forever to match them up. We would also bake a lot, cakes usually, and I would get really excited when she would let me stir the batter. I would also dip my finger into the cake mix when she wasn’t looking to taste just a little bit of the raw batter, and when she would catch me, she would scold me and tell me that I shouldn’t be doing that. She would also help me on my homework whenever I needed her too, and what I loved most about that was that she was always so patient with me. And when she wasn’t around, we would talk on the phone for hours. I used to feel so lucky to have such a wonderful mom who cared so much about me, and even though she is no longer in my life, I’m still thankful that I had her around to make my childhood such a happy and memorable one.
My greatest memory of mom is my every day with her. She makes me feel important from the moment I wake up when she cooks me breakfast until the moment I’ll fall asleep when she fixes my blanket. My is the most wonderful I have ever met. So when she needed to go abroad, I cried hard and she hugged me. I can still feel the warmth and love that hug gave me. I love you mom! 🙂

I have always been a rebellious and stubborn child who tends to wear a hat too big for her head. If my mom had not been so stern and persistent in persuading me to commute to college from home instead of living in the dorms, I would not be so stable and financially independent as I am today. While others are working a minimum wage job to help pay through college, I can proudly say I manage the family tanning business, have no college debts, and an esthetician license at the age of 20. My mom has always taught me that nothing feels better than being an independent woman who makes her own money and can go into any restaurant/shop without relying on a man. She has made that dream come true for herself as a single mom of 2, and I inspire to be a strong, capable, and wise woman just like her everyday.
My mother is someone who always goes above and beyond for others.
A favorite memory that I have of her involves a moment when she showed me
that selflessness and inspired me to be a better mother and a better person.
Tired from having taken care of my grandma who had been in and out of the
the hospital and was in what we would discover to be her final days with us, she
had sat down on her living room floor, legs sprawled out in exhaustion. She had spent the previous year
moving my grandma from Hawaii to California to live with her. A year later, my grandma’s
health began to fail and my mom spent almost every waking moment (and some she needed for sleep)
to tend to her mother. I had taken my son, her first and only grandchild (who was barely a year old), to visit hoping it would cheer both my grandma and mom up. My son sat on the floor next to my mom. My son had one of
those paper balls that would puff up when you blew air into it. Although I knew how much
my mom had to do for my grandma, she did not let on how tired she was. Instead she blew up the
ball and kept it floating in the air to make my son laugh. She sat and played with him delighting
in making him smile. She kept that little guy (who was barely a toddler and full energy) entertained
with the same amount of joy and active spirit. In hindsight it may not have been the best thing to have her exert more
energy in our visit on top of what she was dealing with. But, in a way,
it was what she needed. She, in turn, showed me that loving others means giving of yourself with
all you have in you. She reminded me, a first time mom and tired myself
from sleepless nights, that there is joy in trying to make others happy or giving them comfort.
My favorite memory with my mother had to be last summer when I rented a shore house with my friends . She called and said she had a few days off and her and my grandmom were driving 3 hours to crash our party! My mom is awesome so my friends didn’t mind so she came down , was on the beach and called me to tell me about how ” hot guys ” were in the ocean . Us being girls ran to the beach to show off our bikini bodies . It started to rain and my mom grabbed the guys kooler and said party at our house and as they followed we spend the next 2 hours sitting in the garage with the guys laughing and having a great time . My mom officially became more my best friend then ever before and I feel at 25 , that’s ok now 🙂
My mother and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but then again we all have are ups and downs with our parents. The special thing about that is at the end of the day I will always have my mom to lean on, no matter what. So, with that being said my favorite memories with my mother are those moments when we make up and reminisce for hours. I feel the closest with my mother at that very moment and I love the connection/bond we’ll never lose.
Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there ! xoxoxo -Jay
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when we were dealing with the death of my brother. I’m the youngest in our family,and have always been pretty “babied&spoiled” during this hard time my mom couldn’t function and I stepped up to the plate. I prepared all of the funeral arrangements. A few days after everything my mom sat down and told me how she truly appreciated me and how strong,wise,and helpful I was. It felt great to hear her say that and for me to be her rock to lean on during such a difficult and hurtful time in our lives. She still will bring this up today about my strength. That moment solidified my growth and step into womanhood in her eyes!
My favorite memory with my mom is when my sister and I were younger we used to make lime sherbet floats and pop popcorn and watch Disney movies! I love my mom so much and I’m super excited for Mother’s Day 🙂
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when she got back from the hospital after undergoing surgery for cancer. Being eight and not knowing much, I was scared out of my mind. I realized how much my mom meant to me, and not having the security of always having her around made me realize that I needed to cherish every second with her. Right when she got out of the car, I sprinted up to her and gave her a giant bear hug, knowing that she was still with me. Although neither of us talked, we bonded over that moment and it is one that I will never forget. It was just different then all the moments we shared because we didn’t have to talk. I knew she felt I loved her and I knew she loved me more than anything :’) My mom is my hero and inspiration and without her I wouldn’t be who I am today!
Hi! Ever since I was little my mom and I would have a “Girl Day” every 2 weeks.. We would get our nails done, go out to eat, and watch movies at night. But there was one Particular day that I will call my most favorite memory. We Did All of those things one day but later that one night we talked and talked and talked. It never ended but it was so perfect because I was able to open up to her about things I thought I would never be able to tell her and she listened. No other person will ever compare to this Strong, Independent, Caring, Loving women I call my mom! There are no words to explain what she means to me. That would be my Favorite memory of my mom and I. I Love You Mom!!
My favorite memory of my mom is how this tiny 90 pound woman would stand up to my huge dad- or anyone really! She taught us girls to be so strong and showed us that you do not come between a momma lioness and her cubs! 🙂
My favorite memory with my mom is when we went on a rode trip just us to we went to see the dodgers, to the beaches and more:) I will always cherish them moments wen I had her all t my self..I miss you mom.
Laughing uncontrollably on our way home from spending the day in LA. I can’t even remember what we were laughing about now, but I distinctly remember looking over at my Mom to see a huge smile on her face. A perfect end to one of our many mother daughter excursions.
There was this flash sale in a boutique and gosh, me and my mom had gone wild by buying a lot of clothes, and when it comes to the cashier, we both look at daddy with the most sparkling eyes we have, after dad paid the bill, my mom and I were “hehehehehehe-ing” all the way back home. That was my favorite memory with her.
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment.
My favorite moment with my mom is when I told her she was going to be a grandma for the first time. I went to her office with a gift bag full of baby things, diaper, fake bottle ect ect. Told her I got her a little something special for being such a great mother. Once she started to pull the objects out, the look on her face was the greatest thing ever! Instantly water works once she figured out what I was trying to tell her. I’ve never seen so much happiness in one persons expressions ever. From that day on she was not only the greatest mother a girl could ask for but the greatest grandmother as well! I will tell my daughter this story once she gets older ad hopefully she’ll do the same to me (when the time comes)
My favorite memory with my mom is from 2010. She came to Atlanta in December, and we wanted to go to dinner and a movie one evening, but it started snowing. So, we decided to stay in and ordered Chinese–which she loved. I also took her to get a massage while she was here. When we finished, she said, “Oh Natalie, I thought I had had a massage before, but they were NOTHING like that!” It felt good to do something small for the woman who has done so much for me!
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she used to do my hair. While she was doing my hair I would be doing the hair of my doll and I would have the hardest time making ponytails or just about doing anything to that Dolly’s hair, but when we would both be done she would say, “Wow! If I didn’t know any better a professional just did that Dolly’s hair.” She would finish her praises of me by saying, “Anyone could set out to do anything, but getting up and doing it and completing it until the end is where all of your hardworking and “praises” will come from, never give up Stanka in anything because Never ever accomplished anything.” I love that woman, she let me know that there’s nothing I can not do if I put my mind to it.
Favorite memory was seeing my mom right after my fiance proposed to me and I got engaged. She was waiting for me in our favorite restaurant and I was completely surprised. It was amazing to be able to share such a special moment with her and both be crying tears of joy. There was so much laughter, smiles, and hugs, that night. She was so happy for us and she always wants the best for me. I can’t wait to have her by my side at my wedding in 5 months.
My fave moment was the day my son was born and my mom looked down at me holding this little buddle and said..”Now you know what I’ve been trying to tell you ..nothing else matters now you’re a mommy” …”and you will always have someone to love ”
All the years of worry or saying no was because she loved me….I know that now AS A MOTHER myself 🙂
My favourite memory of my mom is that every time my sister or I leave on a missions trip to India or Haiti or wherever it might be she always supports us, she never tells us there is something we can’t do. And she’s always the first to hug us when we come home. 🙂
My mom has always been my greatest supporter. When I first went off to college it wasn’t the normal college experience. The experience of enjoying new friends, a new living space, and a time to discover a new me. Instead, my first year of college I experienced being Bullied. My dorm roommate attacked me, she also bit my forehead with her teeth causing my forehead to have her mark on my face and brutally beat me to the point where I didn’t go back to campus the next semester. I under went physical therapy, emotional therapy, and the healing of a crushing mark on my forehead. My mom inspired me to fight through my downfall and return to school the next semester. I did! Shortly after my grandmother passed away and I was able to inspire my mom to keep moving in life. She did! She went back to college and not only did she go back to college, she went to college with Me. Now we can inspire each other when we walk across the graduation stage together. We are expected to graduate college together next spring 2014 one week before Mothers Day! What a Greater Gift❤
My favorite memory of me and my mom is when we got lost in italy together, I was 17 at the time. We were traveling over there with my dad and my 2 brothers and we decided that we would split up for the day, us girls would go shopping and the boys would go on an adventure. My mom convinced my dad that we knew exactly where we were going and that she could find her way around. As soon as we walked out of our hotel my mom turned to me and said, “I have no idea where we’re going, but we are going to have a great day together.” That whole day was such a special and fun time with my mom. We found away around the beautiful city, shopped, ate lunch, walked the streets and experienced everything italy had to offer together. I will never forget all the laughs and wonderful conversations and beautiful sights that we saw together. It was truly an eye opening day for me as I got to see my mother in a new way, and we have been closer ever since.
I have had many beautiful memories with my mother. She is the backbone of my family and gives her whole self into helping everyone. She is kind, generous, loving, and would do anything in the world to make our lives less complicated. She planned my whole wedding for me and it was the most amazing and perfect day anyone could ever ask for. But… my most favorite memory I have with my mother is when I was 4 years old. My mom had me in a Mommy & Me daycare program and I can vividly remember how much fun I had with her. She loved me so much as a child and throughout all of my years. To know that my mother was always there to love me, hug me, be a friend to me from such an early age is truly a blessing.
My greatest memory with my mom has not occured yet. In fact, it will happen on May 23, 2013 when she will see me walk across the stage to get my degree in Elementary Education.Although it took 6 years for me to get here, I have finally made it with all my hard work and determination. If it wasn’t for my mom showing me the right path to go on and being a positive role model, I don’t think I would have made it this far. I am forever thankful to have a mom like her in my life and will definitely represent her when that day comes. “Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
One of the best memories I have with my mom is finding that my grandmother (my mother’s mom) leukemia went into remission! My mother is one of the strong women I have ever met. She had not been home to see my father in almost a month because she has been a devoted daughter and not left my grandmother’s side. Also my grandmother was such a fighter that when they told her that she only had a month that that was not an option. These are two incredible females that I have in my life. I am truly blessed! I love you Mom and Gma!
My favorite memory of my mom is when I was little and she taught me how to plant/had me help plant our vegetable garden. Since then, i’ve grown up but my passion for plants has grown with me and is something we have in common. Every weekend I look forward to planting/gardening in the yard with my mom. We always laugh when we come home from shopping because the back of the truck is filled. We always joke and justify our shopping spree saying, well their could be worse addictions!
One of my favorite things about my mother was that she gave me a chance. You see, I was raised by my step-mother. When my real mother found out she was pregnant with me her and my father were going through a divorce and she wanted to abort me. My father wouldn’t have it! Then he met the most beautiful angel on earth, my step-mother. She gave up her 2 jobs that she so dearly loved to be a stay at home mom and raise me and my brother. She has never once treated us as her stepchildren. She is the most self sacrificing, loving, supportive, and considerate person I know. I call her Mom and have since day 1. She has always believed in me and encouraged me to reach for my dreams, there is nothing that I can’t accomplish. Thanks to her, I am now in Nurse Practitioner school. I owe it all to her and am so glad God has blessed me with a “MOM”.
A memory with my mom that will stick with me forever is from this year, when we were discussing my upcoming graduation. During this conversation as I told her my fears and doubts, she said the most meaningful thing to me. She told me that she would always be proud of me, no matter what I do, and that I could do anything I wanted to do in life. My mom is the most nurturing and loving woman I know.
I am about to get married in a few months and the support system my mom has been for me is not something I can even encompass. However, I will try and be as eloquent as I can be for the woman that constantly leaves me speechless. My parents are not poor by any standard but they are not wealthy either. I remember when I was around 6 years old I would cry everyday to not want to leave her and go to school. She told her boss one day if she can get the day shift so at least when I come from school she would be there for me. Her boss said no very rudely, then my mom said what if I work double shifts for two days the whole day so that you can at least give me the day shift once or twice a week. She used to work from the morning (9AM to like 10PM) just so she could at least be there for me when I came home. She would have fridays off and then come home with chinese food and have it ready for me and my sister to enjoy and watch tv. It took me many years to realize how hard she worked only to work even harder at home, all so I would not cry and I could actually be with her. I think to be a mother one needs to be selfless, a place it may take me years to reach but she has always been selfless. More than just winning this $100 contest, I just want to say thank you for rekindling a story I have not told in a long time and make me appreciate my mother even more than I do now.
The greatest memory I have with my mom would have to be the day she found out I was pregnant with a baby boy. She cried of joy because she knows God gave me this blessing that will be born Sept 4 2013 for a reason. That reason was that I’m going to be an amazing mom just like she is. She taught me well throughout the years and I know her words of wisdom will help me guide my little baby boy, David Alexander on the right path!
My mother has taught me how to persevere against all odds. Although she did not give birth to me, she truly mothered me into the woman I am today. She has always worked hard and been dedicated to empowering others to never settle for less than the full range of giftings inside of you. Now that i am a mother, I am leaving for my daughters, the rich inheiritance my mother gave to me.
My favorite memory I have with my Mom is when she flew out to California with me when I decided to move to Los Angeles. It rained 7 days straight when we got in, but we didn’t care. We just went shopping, decorated my apartment and had lots of girl time. She’s always helping me out and supporting me through whatever. <3
The greatest memory of my mom was the day my oldest sister passed away.. I was 16 and heart broken. My life was turned upside down. That night I learned a lot about life. But I also learned the strength of a mother.. My mother was so strong and held herself together for my two other sisters and I as well as my father… I wish I can be half of what my mother is. She has shared with me such kindness, love and strength through my life. It was a horrible day but when I look back I see a mother that stood strong for her loved ones.
One of my fave moments with my mom was when we were bonding and talking about her brother and parents (they have passed away) and I never met them so it was nice that even though it was so hard to talk about it felt like I knew them. From there we talked about my friends, school and boys. I’m grateful I can tell my mom almost anything (:
My mom has always been encouraging about my pursuit in an art career. I am studying Mechanical engineering at school but I run a small side business selling art prints. Art is a very unconventional career for my family of scientists but she knows it’s my passion and supports me. I recently got accepted into my first huge show and she has been helping me prepare. It’s a small gesture but I means a lot to me.
When my mom was in the military, we got the opportunity to travel to different countries a lot. I remember about seven years ago when my mom and I took a trip to Venice, Italy. I was wearing a pair of my favorite heelys, which are basically sneakers with wheels at the bottom. To this day I still wonder why she even let me wear those things in a city literally on water, but I guess she trusted me. She did not, however, let me go anywhere near the inside of any of the glass jewelry shops that she went into, for the fear of me rolling into a shelf and knocking over something expensive. All I could do was admire the ornaments from the stores’ window. At the end of the day, on the train ride back home, I was still a little disappointed. My mom must have sensed this, because without saying a word, she pulled out a small box and gave it to me. I opened it, and inside were two baby blue and red glass rings. I still have those rings today. Although they do not fit me anymore, I can look at them now and always remember my favorite memory of my mom.
I really can’t pinpoint one event specifically but my best memories of my mom are when she is cooking in the kitchen and I sit to talk to talk to her about everything that’s been going on. This is my first year living away from home and there are definitely days I wish I could go home and sit in my kitchen while she listens and gives me advice. I will always cherish these memories the most.
My most memorable moment with my mother is when we designed my first necklace together. My mother makes jewelry (wire jewelry) and I started creating jewelry with her when I was fifteen. I remember us sitting in her craft room for hours working on that necklace. It was a simple wire necklace with a stone pendant. I fell in love with the craft that day and our connection as mother and daughter grew because I understood a passion of hers like no one else could. Now I’m in college studying entrepreneurship so we can start a business together.
One of my favorite memories that I had of my mother and I was helping her get ready for her graduation when she went to receive her Masters degree. Throughout my life my mother worked hard to raise my brother and I on her own. She felt that education was the most important gift that anyone coud have so she attended Saturday classes to obtain her Bachelors and then went back a few years after to obtain her Masters. Being able to partake in one of her life long goals and support her will always be inspiring!
My favorite memory with my Mom as a little girl was spending time with her in the car. I loved to make her laugh! My fave was making her laugh so hard as we pulled up to a drive through that she couldn’t even speak to place our order!!! She’s the best!
Although my mom and I have limitless memories, my favorite are the ones where we just simply get along and laugh together. For example, if we go out to dinner together and have a great conversation, or when I have a bad dream and she comes in my room and lays with me until I fall asleep. My mom rocks and I wouldn’t trade her for the world!
The amazing memory of my mother was the amazing human being she was on all levels. I lost her in October 2012. She was a mother and father to her children and a caretaker to her great grandchildren. She was my superhero! She was loving, caring, beautiful inside and out and my source for wisdom and enlightment! Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there!!!
First, I would like to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all moms. They are indeed special human beings! One of my favorite memories I would like to share about my mom is the day of my high school graduation. I will never forget how my mom was on that pivital day! You could not count the number of times she told me how proud she was of me or the number of smiles that was on her face that day! She showed me so much love and instilled so much confidence in me that day! And those “mom things” and so much more is what makes my mom such a remarkable woman that I look up to and strive to be like every day! Love ya mom!
My favorite memories with my mom are car rides. Despite the distance, we are able to somehow talk the entire way and “solve the worlds problems” as we like to say. The hardest times I have laughed are times when we are taking a trip together in a car and start laughing at out goofy we are. She is my absolute day friend in the world.
My mom and I have had our ups and downs. When I was younger my relationship with my mom was rough on her because I was such a selfish bad child. I remember many times when I was embarased/ashamed of my mom because I was focused on apperance and style. She would alway tell me in life their is only one mother and I needed to be proud of who she was. I never fully understood what she ment until I was much older. One of the many important lesson my mom shared with me is that no matter what anyone says I needed to be strong enough to be proud of who I am and where I came from like she was. I thank her every day for moulding me into the stong independant woman I am today. Love u momz
I always love the stories that come out of trips with my fun and loving mother. The best story by far was when we were relaxing by the pool in Palm Springs. I told my mom that she should try out the pool floating devices and that she could just relax on them. She decided to try one out and a couple minutes later it flipped over. She was only in 3 feet water but she was still freaking out. Some random guy relaxing on the side of the pool had to come ‘save’ her. Although at the time it was a bit scary at the time, we still can’t stop laughing about it to this day.
My favorite memory of me and my mom was when I was little and we used to live with my grandparents. My granddad use to wake up at 3 am and play his jazz records in the dining room. It would always wake us up, so we would sit up and talk about jazz music together. Still to this day, we listen to all kinds of jazz music 🙂
My favorite memory I have with my mother is when we were on vacation, my mom, stepdad and I went snorkeling. My stepdad told us to look out for sharks, of course we wer being silly and singing the Jaws theme song, Duuun dun Duuun dun dun dun dun dun. All of a sudden we see a fin came out of the water! Ahhhh, we start screaming and swimming toward shore, when we get there we look back my stepdad was still snorkeling, he didnt even know what happened. Haha too funny. The fin ended up being from a really big manta ray. I love my mother. We still laugh every time we tell this story. 😀
The first memory I have is of my mom. She was doing dishes and wearing a plaid mini-skirt and the window she was looking out of was dark and frosted at the edges. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful person in the whole world. I ran up to her and hugged her legs with my pudgy little toddler arms and she smiled down at me with a face full of love. That was my first and most favorite memory of my mom.
I remember when my mother graduated college at 49. I was so proud of her and that was the first time she looked proud and confident about herself. The moment she came off stage and came to take pictures, we looked at each other and it was overwhelming! My mom was a housewife before she divorced my due to an affair. We came to the U.S from a different country and she had to learn English and had to work after the divorce. She only had a foreign high school diploma and still managed to do it all and graduate college at 49 and that is why that’s my favorite memory.
My mom has always been by my side. I remember when I was younger she told me anything I put my mind to, I could do it and she was completely right. I have experienced so many positive things in life that she didn’t have the opportunity to and through me she has now had the opportunity. I wouldn’t replace her for anything in the world. I love you mom !!
My mom is a very straightforward person, and what I like about her is she’s very forgiving and never hates me even though I did something that makes her upset. One day I was such in a bad mood after going through some unfortunate events and I ended up spilling everything to her in a very loud voice, but she just laughed and told me that there’s bigger problems than this, and I should be able to handle it. I regret my abrupt words and said sorry to her afterward.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she took me to my first audition for a play outside of school. I was so nervous and crying and felt like I couldn’t do it; but she enouraged me by playing what is now one of my favorite songs, pulled me together, and I was able to go onstage and audition better than I ever had before. Even people who heard me sing before said they never heard me sing like that. And I KNOW I couldn’t have gotten through it without my mother. To this day, that memory is (I think) one of the reasons why I feel like I can do anything! I LOVE MY MOM!!!!! <3333
One day I was really upset because I just finished arguing with my boyfriend on the phone and my mom tried asking me what was wrong and I kind of snapped on her and gave her an attitude. I felt so awful later because I knew i had no right to take out my anger on her. So after I cooled down I told her I was sorry. In my head, I was preparing myself to have her tell me that it made her upset I told her to leave me alone but instead she told me ” I love you mami I just want you to be happy”. That was exacty what I needed to hear and It reminded me that all my mom wants is the best for me. Like a bestfriend, she knows exactly what to say to make me feel better and I know its genuine because she is my mother. She always tells me in spanish, “Don’t forget you only have one mother!”
I think the most deep and shocking memory with my mom was the time she hugged me and kissed me for the first time in 13 years. I know it’s messed up but we are a cold family and yes I’m sure she did it when I was a baby but as I was growing up she didn’t pay much attention to me as I wanted. But I love her too much to care for those negative details. P.s. I did cry when she hugged me. :/
One day I was looking at an old home video that we were using for a mother’s day gift, and there was a scene of my whole family with my brother and sister running around playing wildly with my father. Right there in the middle of the chaos, my mom was sitting holding me lifting me up and smiling. The love in her eyes was inexplicable. I have always known my mother loved me, but that was a true picture of my mother’s love that you do not typically get to experience. I am so happy I did.
My mom attended my graduation when I received my doctorate degree and she was super excited. I’ve been saying I’m going to be a doctor since I was 12. Even when I wanted to take a “break” from school she gave me a tremendous amount of support. The day I shook the president of my alma maters hand and took my oath she was the happiest I had ever seen her. A few short months later she passed away and she said at my graduation “All I needed to do is see my baby graduate”. That is my most fondest memory of my mother.
When I was ten years old, my grandmother had passed away and my mother had to travel overseas to be with her family through the tough times. As she was leaving to the airport, it felt as if a part of me was leaving me and made me appreciate how much it means to have a mother and have her always on your side. As she was leaving and about to sit inside the car to head to the airport, she pointed to my heart and said, “I’m always here, with you. I love you.” She started to tear up and left. But it made me realize how much I love her at the age of ten. We’ve been best friends since.
I have so many memories with my mom and all of them are important to me. I remember one time my mom and I were trying to be really sneaky and quiet in the house when we tried to make our way to the kitchen so my stepdad wouldn’t wake up. It was supposed to be a surprise. But as we were trying to be as quiet as possible all of a sudden my mom knocked a bunch of stuff over and then I dropped stuff…let’s just say the escapade did not go as planned. The best part is after we made literally as much noise as possible by accident my mom looked at me and I looked at her and we just started laughing. I remember we both laughed so hard that tears came out.
The best memory I have of my mother is when I gave birth to my son . she was there every step of the way holding my hand . and she knew just what to say when I thought I couldn’t make it through the birth. seeing her cry with joy she held my son is the greatest memory that I will ever have of my mom. the gift of life and love is truly a blessing.
When I was very young, about five or six, I came home crying from school. When asked why I was so upset by my mother I sobbed, “the kids at school say my eyes are brown because I’m full of poop. They called me poopy-eyes and poop-for-brains!” She told me that the eyes are windows to the soul and that mine was a sweet, warm chocolate soul. 🙂 She then made a surprise call to have my favorite radio station play Brown-eyed Girl by Van Morisson and said that brown eyed girls were just as beautiful as any other girl and I would always be her beautiful chocolate brown eyed girl. 🙂 We still are very close to this day! I always Pre-order delivered flowers to her every mothers day because she is in nova scotia and I’m in Ontario. I miss her 🙁 </3
I am thankful that I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. She is the most caring, understanding, beautiful, comforting, nicest, smartest, and the best person I know. I am very close to her. She always have taken care of my brothers and I in every way. She took us many places and she bought us but she didn’t spoil us. She taught us values and morals. She is the one who motivates me and she believes in my hopes, dreams, and desires. My best memory with her was going on vacation to Daytona Beach for the whole Spring Break. We enjoyed every moment. We had so much fun shopping and going to nice restaurants.
I was studying abroad and camping for 4 weeks in constant rain when I called my mom sobbing, from reading an ad in a magazine which stated, “mom’s are like super heroes” Indeed they are because the next week she came to visit. We went to a posh 7 course meal just for fun and were stuffed after the 2nd course (apparently we aren’t as posh as we thought hah) We went shopping to quaint ma n’ pop shops and then to top it off as she was leaving, she surprised me with the luxury series thermorest sleep mat… the tears overflowed. I know it seems small, but I had bruised on my hips from my barely padded ‘sleep mat’ Sometimes, you just want to be comfortable. My mom and I fight, snuggle, argue, shop, watch endless hours of Downton abbey and Carey Grant movies, but most of all we always stick by one another no matter what. She’s the strongest woman I’ve ever known with outstanding class and selflessness. She gained her masters in ministry to start a woman’s ministry program in our area, she’s constantly consoling women with expecting nothing in return but a friend. I can’t imaging my world without my mom. I’m constantly hearing a new story about how she’d changed someone’s life or saved someone’s marriage.
The memory that immediately comes in mind is one that happened not too long ago. My mum told me in confidence that she hoped she had been a good mother to me, because there had been some troubles in our family (my brother has autism) When I reassured her that she couldn’t have done it any better, and that she made me the person I was today, tears sprung in her eyes and she gave me a big hug. My mum is a strong person and I can count the times she cried in front of me on 1 hand, so this meant a great deal to me.
I have lots of memories but my fav of them all is my graduation from college that happened to be on Mother’s Day. My mom was a teenage mother who instilled nothing but hard work and education in me. So when I became the first of my family to graduate from college was the best thing my mother could ever ask for. She cried like a baby the entire ceremony and when I finally accepted my degree she asked me is my makeup ruined! We burst into a laughter that’ll never be forgotten.
I have a lot of favorite memories with my mommy. But if i could choose one memory that I have cherished and never did forget is when my mom and I would go shopping together in my elementary days for school clothes and supplies. Now that Im graduating from High School and I wont be going to college because we dont have the money, there wont be no more times like those where it would just be the both of us shopping for school and having girl time! I would get so excited when my mom wakes me up in the morning and tell me we was going school shopping! She would make it so exciting for me! We would first go to walmart and buy my supplies and she would always buy me a barbie toy because she knew I loved barbies. Then we would go buy my school clothes and i remember when she would buy herself something like a shirt, she would buy a matching one for me too. I can say I miss those just us days! I loooove my mommy!!!!! Shes the best!
Growing up my mom and I were not the closest. I was the ultimate daddy’s girl. However this past year, my dad was in a horrible car accident were I had no one to turn to but my mother. My father was in the hospital for weeks, but through sadness and tragedy came something good. Through the above mentioned event, my mom and I became close since no one else knew exactly what we were going through or the emotions that we had. My favorite memory of my mom n I was being in the hospital with her and crying on her shoulder and not having to speak one word because I knew she felt what I felt. Having someone there for you is hard to find but through the tragedy I have become close to my mom and have many fond memories with my mom. No one can take her place, she is the definition of a strong haute mom!
My mom is literally the best. She has always been there for me in every aspect of my life. She has helped me through so much and I thank her for that! My favorite memory of my mom is when iwas little and my dad would be my coach for my sports teams (basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer) she would come to every game and sit in the stands and cheer me on. She has always been there for me. I love her
“Mama Knows best”, whenever you need her she is there for you, to cry or to laugh every time counts. My childhood was the best of the best, and the major reason is because my mama was always there for me, she leaved her beloved work just for me, she wanted to be by my side all the time. Mothers should be congratulated every month, week, day, hour and second. They risked their figure, and fun things just to have us, to give us LIFE, nothing compares to that feeling that I have when I laugh out loud with my mama it’s simply unique, it’s more than support, it’s an eternal union since that moment they knew we were coming till forever. THANK YOU MAMA I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK IN TURTLE STEPS <3
My mom and I are best friends, we always go out and talk about life. My mother was not allowed to go to school and had to work since the age of 13 when she immigrated to America. My favorite memory with my mom hasn’t occurred yet, but I know it will be this June when I graduate from college. It’s an experience my mother never got, she didn’t even get to graduate middle school. Although she never got those experiences she always encouraged me to study and stay in school. She went to every one of my award ceremonies. My mom sacrificed alot for me, she was my mom, my dad, my friend, and my guardian angel. All her hard work will pay off when I walk across that stage and begin my future. It will be the beginning to even more amazing memories with my amazing mother.
The greatest thing about my mom is how well she is at being a mother! She thinks about me through and through and she is a very hard working women. No matter the mistakes I have made she still loves me. Her love is unconditional. There is not a single moment that I treasure most with her, every moment is the best one. She is funny smart, crazy, weird, bipolar, and many more lol. It is always a good time to be with her. However, because she have diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure along with one side of her heart enlarged, I am terribly worried about her. Not to mention, she LOVES sweets. I pray that she will live to be an old woman, to see me graduate school, get a job, to be at my wedding, to babysit my children. I wish for her to be there in my future, she is the best mom I could ask for and with all my heart, I love her very much.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she dropped me off at school, and I had forgotten to kiss her good bye. I think I was mad at her for a dumb reason. When I got home my dad had told me how hurt my mom was, that I didn’t give her a kiss good bye. I felt so bad because he said he had tears in her eyes. So when she came home from work, I tackled her to her bed and I gave her kisses all over her face. I told her how much I loved her and she gave me a big hug. Since she didn’t want me to see her cry, she told me to go clean something until dinner was ready. I love my mom.
My mom and I don’t have a great memory together. Every time we are together is a great memory in of itself. She is able to put up with my attitude and I highly value her for that. Although I try not to be bratty, sometimes I get help myself and am mean towards her. She understands my personality and puts up with it while no one else I know can. I love my mom so much. Because she’s a typical Asian mom, she butchers a lot of English words and we always have a good laugh. I’m a full time student so it’s hard for me to buy her gifts that she’d enjoy. I do my best to give her something she’d like on Mother’s Day like burning a CD with her favorite songs for her. I just hope I’ll make enough money in the future to be able to buy things she likes.
My favorite memory of my mom is I is when we went on vacation to St. Martin. Back in 2008 when i was 20yrs old my mom and I spent a week in St. Martin we took a tour of the island, I got to try new foods and every beach we went to looked like it came right off a post card or google search. BUT!!!!! This one night on the island we went to this dinner and show thing that they were having on the resort that we were staying at. They had island dancers and this guy who was singing and making jokes. Now will the show was goin on I really had to go to the bathroom but I didn’t want to get up because I didn’t want the guy to make any jokes about me. But I couldn’t hold it so I get up and as u make my way to the bathroom the man tells out ” HEY LEGS”!!!! I was so inbarested. So from that day one well we were on the island everyone who seen me called me “Legs” including my mom. My mom wouldn’t let me live that name down for the whole summer. Good times!!!!!!
My favorite memory with my mom is so hard to choose because there are so many but if I had to choose one, one that stands out the most were Sunday mornings as a child. Every Sunday my two brothers and I would slide into bed with my mom until she woke up and we would play with the dogs right in her bed. We would play in there for hours and laugh so hard. My mom and I talk often of these times, times of such pure fun with no worries at all with great appreciation. Just last year my oldest brother passed away and I don’t think that without such a strong independent single mother that helped create wonderful memories like these, I would not have been able to get through that time in my life. My mom is the best mom ever.
The best Memory with this lady that’s like a second mom is she taught me how to be a young lady with class & fashion but the young lady has turned into a woman. That second mom is my auntie she taught me everything took care of me & i love her!
my favourite memory with my mom is everyday. she is my best friend and i can always count on her to be there for me. she is literally the most fiendly person you will ever meet. everywhere she goes people know her by name and can hear her coming from a mile away! i especially love the fact that she recently lost 70 pounds and now we can share our entire closets including shoes! (woo) aside from all that, she truly is a great person and all her family and friends (and even strangers) love her to pieces. xx
My mom is the strongest woman I know. She always knows the right thing to say and she is so wise. One day I was just really upset, crying, and falling apart because I felt like I wasn’t enough and she told me “Why do you think you’re nothing? Can’t you see what everyone else sees in you? You are a beautiful, strong, smart girl who can do anything and be anything. You are amazing and I thank God he gave me you.”
Well, there are many memories I have with my mom whether they may be good or bad. Despite having our bad memories the good sure does out weigh those memories. First, describing my mom would be the best way to start this off. Every one says their mom is the best because that’s what there trained to do. My mom is the most incredible, loving, kind hearted, strict, God fearing mother ever. My best memory with my mom is dancing with her! Yup, we dance together. She’s 52 and she’s the most energetic mother ever. More energetic than I am. Lol. Well we had a duet together and seeing my mom dance with tears flowing from eyes made me proud that she’s my mom. I saw this and I started crying too.. Not because I see her crying but the fact that God blessed me with such a beautiful and Godly mother really touches my heart. After our dance everyone said that it was a very touching dance and people even cryed also. This was not the most fun memory but just being around my mom gives me joy. And it may sound like we’re the best mother and daughter but we sure do have our arguments but they sure do end well. One thing I’ve learned from the memory is that I should never be shameful to cry around people. Always let my feelings out when I find it necessary. I love my mom to death and I’ll always be there for her like she has always been there for me. Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers and God Bless! ❤
One of my favorite memoeries with my mom is when we went to Flagstaff Arizonia it was hot and smoke was in the air. there was smoke because their where alot of forest fires. We rode horses and stayed in a cabin and fished in a tiny pond. now that i think about it they werent horses they were mules and pretty cool ones at that. It was an all out great weekened with my mom.

A favorite memory of my mom and I was when we went on a vacation together. It was spring time and my mom had decided that we should go away together she said “I want to take you to a place where the flowers are the most beautiful just like my daughter”. This made me very happy, because growing up I didn’t have a lot of people around me, it had always been me and my mom just us two best friends, she always did my shopping for me; she was the closest to me and still remains so, despite our separation, since I now stay with my dad and brother, I miss my mom everyday. She always calls to ask how I’m doing, although I can’t do a lot of shopping on my own and own mostly hand me downs, I would like to show my mom that she need not to worry about me, that I’m doing fine, I’d love to send her a picture of my new clothes if I win the shopping spree.
My favorite memory of my mom is her excitement over the art I made of everyday objects, such as flowers out of pencil shavings and hearts out of wax. She always encouraged my creative side, and that creativity has served me well, no matter what field I was in.
My mom and I recently went to New York City, and we really had a great time! I always hear about everyone having “Mommy and Me days,” but I don’t have those too much. Everyday is like mommy and me day for me. But that day in New York was so special. We walked around for hours, got lunch, talked, and went to see Wicked! It was such an incredible experience. I remember when something exciting would happen on stage, we would look at each other, and without having to say anything, we knew what each other was thinking. It was just the perfect day. She made my 14th birthday special, and now I want to make her Mothers Day Fantastic. <3
My family (me, hubby & kids) and my Mom went to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada last summer. She (mom) dreamed to come to the USA, and I was able to make her dream come true and even took her to Canada, for her to see her cousin as well that she haven’t see for almost 10 yrs. For my mom, it was a memorable one for her, for me it was an fulfilling achievement – to see her happy.
My favorite memory shared with my mom was when we went thrift shopping for the first time. The greatest deal I got was a $7 Abercrombie and Fitch jeans, while my mom bought a blouse. We were in the store for hours, and it was so much fun!
I have a lot of good memories with my mom, and, actually with my grandma too. One of the best, or the ost important to me it’s when I started taking ballet clases. My dad and brother too, didn’t think I could do it cause I wasn’t as young as I should be, and my dad always said to y mom that she was making me an arrogant person or something like that… But my mom didn’t care cause she had her faith on me, she always had it and she still believes in me. So, my mom and grandma paid me an intensive course on summer when I could win a scholarship and then it happens, I got the scholarship and I still go to ballet and it was all beacause of my two lovely mothers, My mom (Ari) and grandma (eva) And I love them
My mom is one of the best MOM i’ve ever known. One of my favorite memory with my mom was at the airport. That was the last time i saw her 5 years ago. I really missed my mom. I am miles and miles away from her and with my other family, relatives and friends. Hope one day i could see her few years from now. She’s so patient, kind and a prayerful mom. She made me even more tougher in facing the challenges of life. Being a mom she treats all of us siblings fairly. Though we are a huge family, but she was able to raised us pretty well in all aspects of our lives. I miss her so badly and i love her so much! :))
My favorite (and most embarrassing) memory with my mom was when I was about ten-years-old and got my period for the first time. My mom had noticed that I had some red spots on my shorts, and being the innocent ten-year-old that didn’t know anything about puberty or periods yet, I freaked out and started crying. I remember my mom teaching me how to put on a pad (LOL) and feeling very uncomfortable. After that, my mom took me to Walgreens and she bought me a Kim Possible coloring book, a lime green sand pillow, and candy to make me feel better. I know this is such an embarrassing “getting-my-period” story, but that is one of my most favorite memories of me with my mom because it just shows how much she has always cared and loved me, and I hope one day to be able to reciprocate the love back to her <3
Growing up, my mom taught all 7 of her children, she gave up her career to ensure that we were gettig a good education. She is in her 50’s now and is still teaching her two youngest and will be for another seven years. My favorite memory is when she would gather all seven of us into the biggest bedroom and read us a story every single night, it was one of the few times during the day we were all together.
A great memory I have with my mom is when she took me to college my freshman year. After an early morning 4 hour drive, my mom insisted I hurry and get the bed made. I thought she was excited to see my dorm begin to come together yet she only desired my bed to be made so she can nap lol.
I’m really close with my mom and one day we were going in for a hug and I ended up sniffing her by accident. She thought it was funny and started sniffing me too. Now whenever we text we say hugs, kisses, and sniffs! 🙂 I love my mom!
My favorite memory with my mom was dancing our mother/daughter dance at my wedding. We danced to one of my favorite spanish songs “piquito de oro” that i dedicated to her.
My favorite memory with my mom is when I took her to the spa for Mother’s Day. It was a total surprise. I was in high school then so I had her drive around but she had no idea where we were going. When we pulled up in front of Heavenly Massage all she could do is cry. I treated her to a hour massage, a facial, and mani/pedi. I think that was the best Mother’s Day she ever had!! That spa day was much needed for her….
My relationship with my mom hasn’t been the best until I left for college. I guess my leaving was when our relationship finally began. We became closer knowing that we’re not living under the same roof anymore. I go to college in southern California and my family lives in northern California. It doesn’t seem as far, but to my mom, it’s really far. Whenever I come home to visit, my mom is in the kitchen, preparing my favorite meals for me. Growing up, I believed that my mom practically lived in the kitchen because she’s always in there cooking for our family. I love that she cares so much for me and my brother. She cooks 3 meals everyday since she got married and I love her so much for that because a lot of my friends’ moms don’t cook for them. I’m so happy to have a mom so I can share my girl secrets and problems with. Being at school and living in a dorm has made me realized how much I love my mom and it’s made our relationship much stronger than before.
not sure if i posted yesterday during the ‘hiccup’ so here goes again.
my favorite memory of my mom and me is going to the beach together just her and i. nowadays with the kids we barely get to hang out just the two of us so i really treasure those memories.
One of the things I love about my mom is she is always borrowing my shoes and jewelry even though she is 43 and I am 13. My foot is getting bigger now so I give her my shoes. I have even stretched out a few of her shoes just by wearing them. I have become so close with my mom because of these moments. I love to give her fashion advise and help her pick out outfits! We have bonded so much during these times and I am so grateful for her.
when we went to disney together it was very cool we laughed all day and had amazing experiences together and it was very funny the time we got lost in knotts and the tour bus left without us AHAHHAAHA it has hilarious
One of my favorite memories and probably the most meaningful is when I was real young and I had moved away with a boyfriend to a different state. The pain I caused her when I left was unfair and I knew it. I missed her so much, everyday I wished I could see her but she was too far away. One day I decided things weren’t going well so I decided to move back with her. I thought she would recent me for everything I had done but she forgave me so easily because she loves me and she’s my mother. I had made a mistake and she understood. When my plane arrived and I got home she took me into her arms as one day I had wished I could hug her, that day I could do more than that. I do not wish to leave her side again, I want to be with her always. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers <3.
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when we would sit on her bed and talk about what I want in life, and how I was going to get there. She tells me stories and gives me the best advice during these talks. I love my mom!
My favorite memories of my mom and I are whenever we go to concerts together. I’m always so proud to tell my friends that I’ve been to a concert with my mom because I know most moms and daughters aren’t as close as she and I are, and I love that we share similar tastes in music and can spend time together doing something we both enjoy.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom occurred this past thanksgiving. My four siblings and I were gathered around the table after dinner and we began to discuss what we planned on buying Mom for christmas. With five of us, sometimes it’s difficult to come up with different ideas and we always check with one another so Mom doesn’t end up with 5 bathrobes. After discussing for a while and not coming up with anything significant, we begged Mom for ideas. Her response was the usual “You don’t need to buy me anything, your presence is enough”. Well we weren’t giving up! We grabbed a piece of paper and handed her a pencil and told her to give us at least 3 gift ideas. She sat for a while and then began writing. I was a little surprised we had convinced her and I watched as she began writing furiously. I wondered what her list would consist of, a new bag perhaps? After she finished writing she set the paper down in front of us and we looked over at the list. She had listed 5 things she wanted and none of them were materialistic. She asked that one of my sisters eventually move closer to home, she wanted my eldest sister to spoil herself more because she worked so hard as a nurse. She wanted me to continue working hard and finish optometry school and she wanted my brothers to finish college. We sat there and realized how silly we were, we realized the things that made her happy were seeing us succeed. And even though she got a watch for christmas that year, everyday stressful day I experience in my program I remember how important it is to do my best, so that I can make her proud everyday.
My favorite memory of me and my mother when she was alive,is when she use to take me on secret shopping trips after picking me up from high school. We both love shop and it made our bond even closer. Love you mom! Rest in peace.
my favourite memory with my mom was taking care of my now 6-year-old brother, and at the moment, she has a newborn baby girl and i can’t wait to watch her grow up as well. 🙂 love my family. <3 bless
My parents divorced when I was in high school and my mom was in a really dark and bad place. The two of us moved into an apartment from a house for the first time in her life and we became very close. As I ventured off to college and eventually got married the memories began to fade. I will never forget the day I got engaged though. It was my birthday and she wanted the day to be perfect. We went to lunch and got manicures. At dinner that evening (after I was proposed to) I was surprised to see my mom waiting at the dinner table to celebrate with us. The happiness on her face was something I had not seen since her and my dad were happily married. She is a wonderful mom who always put her kids first.
When i was little i used to “help” my mom iron the clothes. I had my little ironing board and iron toy and i would grab a shirt and “iron it” and when finished i’d put it on the side. But i always saw my mom sneaking behind me to grab the clothes i had already “ironed” and she would iron it herself. Then i would say “but i already did that clothes” and she would say “im just gonna give it its final touch” so i would let it go 🙂
Back when I was about 5 years old, my mother was in the kitchen cooking up a traditional Spanish dinner. I remember it being a nice spring weekend. My mother was blasting her salsa music and dancing around as if no one were watching. My mom finished up dinner and was waiting for the food to cool down. All the while,she grabbed my hand and took me on the porch and began instructing me on how to dance salsa. I remember looking at my mom and smiling after every salsa step that I had done correctly. Now, I love dancing salsa. With every twist and turn I make at my family gatherings. It all dates back to that moment my mom took my hand and danced me through a lifetime of smiles, laughter, tears, hugs, happiness, tragedies and triumph. I don’t know where I would if it wasn’t for being such an awesome Mom.
I am thankful that I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. She is the most caring, understanding, beautiful, comforting, nicest, smartest, and the best person I know. I am very close to her. She always have taken care of my brothers and I in every way. She took us many places and she bought us stuff that we wanted but she didn’t spoil us. She taught us values and morals. She is the one who motivates me and she believes in my hopes, dreams, and desires. My best memory with her was going on vacation to Daytona Beach for the whole Spring Break. We enjoyed every moment. We had so much fun shopping and going to nice restaurants. Happy Mother’s Day, mom! 🙂
I remember when I was about 7 years old we went to a theme park called Cedar Point. I got lost from everyone else. Lol kind of like Home Alone. I was riding all the ride without a care in the world. Finally someone saw that I was alone after maybe 2 hours.When I got to the office I saw my moms face it was priceless. Tears in her eyes as if she had lost her soul and saw a ghost at the same time. I knew then I never wanted to do anything to see that face again. It wasn’t sad I loved her more.
The greatest memory i have with my mother was on my wedding day. I grew up without my father in my life and my mom was the only person who raised me. So when the day came that i got married and it was time to pick someone to walk me down the aisle, my family said that i could pick an uncle or a family friend but thats not what i wanted. The person who deserved to give me away to the man i chose to start a new life with was the person who had helped me become the women he fell in love with and that was my mother. And when my wedding day came and she walked me down the aisle, I could see that my mom was the proudest and happiest she has ever been and that is a memory that she and i will have forever.
My mom and I make such a good team! We went cross-country from California to Iowa!! We camped in Yellowstone and had fun adventures all week long. Driving through the badlands at night during the scariest most colossal lightning storm I have ever seen and my mom was terrified, but I told her that we are safe in the car and we made it just fine to our camp site! It’s funny when you get to see the human side to your super-mom!
Some of the best memories I’ve ever received from my mother were that she always gave me the freedom to express myself. My mother has never stifled my creativity and I thank her every day for the opportunities she gave me and the experiences she never, ever attempted to hold me back from. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her and her loving memories. I can still remember being 9 years old and asking my mother to take me to the local thrift store to buy clothes and books and almost anything my heart desired. She allowed me to be who I am and I love her for that.
I am so blessed to have the best mommy in the world. There isn’t enough word for me to tell how much I love her. Being a Vietnamese immigrant, who just came to the United States for three years, it’s really difficult for my family to start everything of our life all over again and to keep a livelihood in here. However, my dad, my sister, my brother and I have always had my mom to support us physically and emotionally. I know that my mom had the option to stay in Vietnam, but I know she decided to come here because of my sister, my brother and me. She wanted us to have a better future than her and my dad. She wanted us to be able to have the opportunity for a better education and better career, which we weren’t able to and won’t be able to have in my country. I remember the first time I had ever saw my mom cried. When we first came into USA, my uncle was nice to us, but after ten days, he wanted us to get out of his house with a simple reason: he didn’t want to go in debt to take care of my family. It could be understandable if not for the fact that he has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. We thought everything would turn out right after we moved in with my other uncle in Austin, but history repeated itself, once again, we were homeless. Although my parents put all of their dignity aside and begged them to let us stay in order for my siblings and me to continue our education, they showed no mercy at all. Blood is thicker than water, but at that moment, money triumphed over blood, and no matter how many tears drop, some people still love their money more than family. I witnessed my mom cried and begged other people in hopeless, I couldn’t do anything to help her. My family just felt like we were completely betrayed by the people that we respected and loved the most. How could they do this to us? If my dad didn’t stop her, my mom would have kill herself right after my family was kicked out, and now I would be living my misery, living without my mom. Three years have gone by, my family is now living in a better condition, and all thanks to my mom. She has devoted so much for us, and I love her so much for this. I know that this would probably the saddest memory I have with my mom, however it is the most unforgettable memory for me. I still remember that moment I saw my mom cried, I promise myself I will become the best person I can be, go to the greatest college in state, and get the best career to support my family in the future, and to make my mommy proud. I love my mom, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my personal story.
My mom and I once went to a my first Black Friday sale two years ago. It was the first time we truly talked to each other as friends after some rough years going through puberty. She tries to understand me, and even though sometimes I’m utterly and completely disrespectful and misbehaved, she still doesn’t give up and tries to understand me. I love her so much and I’m blessed to have her.
when my mom used to hide our Easter baskets and make little notes from the “Easter Bunny” saying how to find our Easter Baskets. she used to leave little bunny paper footprints leading to the baskets. she used make us hamburger shaped birthday cakes, bake real Gingerbread houses and make Santa notes for us too…my mom was so creative and still is. i even have adapted the “notes” for my own kids. memories i will treasure and pass on to my children forever. i seriously used to think there was magic when the tooth fairy took my tooth, when it was actually my mom. i love her so much.
My favorite Memory of my Mom and I would have to be when my entire family went to Coco Keyes indoor water park this past January. My Mom was receiving chemotherapy treatments at the time due to breast cancer and she had lost all of her hair. When we got to the water park my Mom took off her hat to reveal her bald head and her courage and strength to do that just about brought tears to my eyes. She is so inspiring and brave and even though she got the stares and whispers she didn’t even pay mind to it. Just being in her presence is a blessing! We all had the most wonderful time ever and I am so glad to say that my Mom is now cancer free. I will never forget that day, that was the day when I witnessed my Mom do the most inspirational act I will ever see!
One of the best memories I share with my mom was on Saturday afternoons as a child. She’d pop up a big bowl of popcorn, and we’d sit on the couch with my siblings, enjoying Elvis movies. Over 30 years later, we both still love Elvis movies and music. Let’s hear it for the King!
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was pregnant with my son…her reaction when I was going into labor she was there with me while my husband was out of town for the military! I will never forget how she was bouncing off the walls like a 2 yr old on candy. She was there for me and I will never forget her reaction an giving herself a headache lol!! Hope I will good luck !!
My favorite memory of my mother and I is of when I was a little girl and I would follow her to the open market. So many different things to see and experience! I’d ask her what the name of each fish was, she’d tell me the names of the all the different veggies, and we would try side dishes and buy the ones we liked best. Every vendor would comment on how much we look alike which made my mom smile. And when we were done shopping she’d buy sugar coated doughnuts that can only be bought at the open market. We shared them when we got home, and they were delicious!
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when we traveled all the way to New Jersey to get my prom dress.. we both never been there ,so it was just me , her , and a GPS . Eventually we found the store and it took some time , but my prom dress is absolutely BEAUTIFUL .
– thanks mommy
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when, after I had surgery on my spine, I started to get sick and they couldn’t figure out why. My mom got me macaroni and cheese, shish kebabs and fruit punch gatorade. She feed it to me, then helped the nurse bathe me and get me back in the bed. All night she laid in the bed with me. I was freaking out scared I was dying and she promised me that they were going to figure out what was wrong with me. That in a couple of months I would be back in school, playing volleyball and watching my New York Giants and Pittsburgh Penguins on television yelling at them when they do something wrong or loose.
One of my favorite moments with my mother was telling her I was pregnant. It wasn’t the best situation or timing but she was supportive and caring at the same time. At that moment she showed me exactly what type of mother I want to be. Because of her I am a mother.
My favorite memory of my mother and I would be in September 2nd, 2010. I had never been close to my mother. On the other hand since I met my dad at age 7, I wanted to grow a relationship with him like I saw and envied in movies. On that night I had witnessed my father bring a stranger in front of our home which had broken me completely because he had promised me to never cheat on my mom again and I believed him. Since that day, I realized that I had been searching for love in all the wrong places because mothers are the ones who are with you before the day you are born. They fill you up with unconditional love and will do any sacrifices in order to see you happy. Seeing my mom defend me from my dad and others on that night was the best memory I could ever ask for because I finally saw how much she loved me and how much I loved her in return. Happy Mother’s Day.
My favorite memory with my mom happened shortly after her mother passed away. This happened more than six years ago. I remember her being so sad that nothing felt normal anymore. Although I was young, the change was hard for me to. During this time my mother and I bonded. My mother’s dad paid for my family and I to go to Disney World with my mom’s sister’s family. He felt that we all needed a vacation. It was sad, but also very happy. My mom went on every roller coaster with me. It was so nice to see her smile again. Although the death of my grandmother has tremendously impacted my life, it was not all bad. Now my mother and I look back on the good things. I truly love my mom and everything that she does for me. My mother is truly an incredible woman and I know that her mom is proud of her just as I am.
My favorite memories and favorite things to do with my mom is lie down on her bed and to play with my dogs,create crazy songs and talk about any stuff and have a good time.It’s simple,but it’s magical.
I simply can not pin point one particular moment because I believe that everyday with my mommy is special! Thats it maybe, having a great relationship will some day be a memory and one that I will remember forever!
When I was little every night before bed my mom would let me say a little prayer she taught me every night she tucked me in. I couldn’t sleep without her coming to tuck me in and listening to me say my prayer. I would leave my light on and tell down the stairs waiting for her. To this day I still remember and silently say the prayer before bed every night. That’s my favorite memory!
One of the greatest memories I have of me and my mother is when I was around 11 years old. My mother was a dance teacher and I was a dance student. The teachers had an idea to dance together for a mother daughter dance to ‘I Hope You Dance’. It was a moment that brought me and my mother to a closeness and understanding that can never be broken. We shared not only the love of dance together but the love for each other. That memory means the world to me now that I am grown up. She is the most beautiful and inspiring woman in the world.
My mother is such a giving caring woman to her kids, grand kids, family and friends. Shes always there when someone needs her, she was the care givier of my great grandfather for many years , she stoped living her life to care for him. And now she helps me and my sister take care or my dad who is dying from alzheimer they been divorce for more than twenty years but she still there for him , she has thought me to be a mother but most important a selfless human being and to lovev others no matter what. Love you mom
I have many memories of me & my mom but my favorite would have to be when I was about 6 years old. My mom had this purse that she wore & every time she would put her hand in there to get something the purse would russle. So one day she was cleaning out her purse & she told me to put the stuff into the garbage from her purse but instead I put it in my purse. Later on that day she asked me for something & I went russling around in my purse for it & “she’s like what do you have in that purse?” Then she looked in there & when she noticed it was all the stuff she told me to throw away from her purse she just laughed.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep.
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment. <3
My mom gathered all three of my siblings and I and opened the front door–waiting for us all to file out. We went out onto the front porch, but when she came out with three cereal boxes we realized that we weren’t going anywhere. She put the baby in a swing and then handed the rest of us a box. I noticed then that each of the cereal boxes were our individual favorites. Mine was Lucky Charms. It was the only time mom didn’t get after us for eating straight out of the box. We sat there and just enjoyed the day.
A memory I will never forget with my mom is bungi jumping together in vegas at the stratosphere hotel. A time that both of us checked off on our bucket list.
My mom is the strongest person I know. Not only did she have 6 kids, all naturally, but she was also in an awful accident and that’s when I realized just how strong she was. My mom amputated her hand in a wood splitter in the summer of 2005, 3 days before the 4th of July. Every summer we would go to my grandma’s campground to help out and part of that was splitting wood for campfires. My mom left her hand in between the log and the blade for just a second too long. My dad and I went running to her yell for help. My dad went running through the woods and I went down a trail where my brother who was 6 at the time told me “mommy cut off her hand”. My heart sank. When I got to my mom she was lying on the ground and my dad was on his way back up to the house to get our car. He told me not to leave her. However, my mom told me to give her my shirt and to go to the house to call 911. She was completely calm. I told her I couldn’t because dad told me not to leave her but she said I needed to call 911 and to take my brother with me, as he had followed me back to her. I did as she told me and called 911 at the house. By the time I got back to where she had been lying, my dad had already picked her up and was on the way to the hospital. I got in a van with my older brother, grandma and some campers who were driving us to the hospital. On the way there, we saw an ambulance on the side of the road and we pulled over. I got out of the van and saw that my mom was in the back of the ambulance but my dad was nowhere to be found. The EMTs told my dad they couldn’t give her any pain medication or take her to the hospital because he didn’t have his insurance card nor his wallet with either of their drivers licenses. My mom just laid in the back of the ambulance still calm. I yelled at the EMTs to take my mom to the hospital and that I would begin to fill out the paperwork. Eventually they subsided and took her to the hospital. We were in a small town and the hospital did not have the capabilities needed to help my mom. Eventually they life-flighted her to a major hospital. I never once saw my mom show pain or fear. The hospital that took her completed 5 surgeries and were able to reattach her hand. They said it was a complete miracle she didn’t bleed out. Of course my mom is right handed and it was her right hand that was amputated. After a lot of work and physical therapy she has most of the function back in her hand. She got right back to being a mother of six and pushed through all the pain. She truly amazes me and this memory is constantly on my mind because I see what she is able to do everyday after her accident. I am beyond proud to call her my mother.
One of the greatest memories I have with my mom is when I was little and she used to buy those one-time use Kodak cameras where you had to swipe the black thing a numerous amount of times after taking each picture, because back at the time we couldn’t afford the other cameras. However, she still found time to buy one for each and every occasion that I had: Graduations, Flower Girl, Birthdays, field trips, etc. Nothing has stopped her. Each time she has shown that she truly cared. I love my mom, forever and always!!!
My favorite memory with my mommy so far in my life was when I was a child. My mommy did everything for me when I was growing up. She made sure I had everything I wanted and was always happy. I love my mommy so much and I’m so blessed to have a mother as loving as her. I wouldn’t know where I would be without her.
My most memorable Mother’s Day was about 20 yrs ago.I spent the day with my mother and her mom.We had brunch and a shopping day.We walked for miles seemed like around the mall until I thought my feet would fall off but what a great day!Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and grandmas!
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when I had a PICC line inserted in my arm for IV antibiotics for Lyme Disease. My mom gave me my daily infusions, and was always there for me, encouraging me and comforting me on difficult days. She has always been there for me since birth, and is my best friend. I love her so much, and am proud to be her daughter.
The favorite memory of me and my mom is when I was a elementary! She would always dress me up and do my hair really prettily.
How I miss those moments! Time flies by so fast!
Thanks for this contest.
One of my favorite memories I have with my mom was when she woke me up super early one morning with a glow of bliss across her face and told me she wanted to have her own store. I didn’t think much of it and just said oh that’s good, and for four years she kept saying this. I never thought that it would come true, but as of April 3rd her consignment store in a little place like Shelby, NC has been going for two years, strong. I have never seen my mother so happy, and I am so glad she proved me and everyone else who doubted her wrong. I am so proud of my mother and all of her success. Her willingness to never give up on her dreams, despite what others have to say, has inspired me to follow after my own dreams whole heartedly and I am happy to say that I’ll be taking up entreprenuership as my major in the Fall.
One of my favourite memories as a child was making different arts and crafts and other creative things with my mom on the weekends and during summer vacation. She would teach me how to sew, make my own shorts and skirts, and how to paint, draw, etc. One of my favourite things we used to do together was melt crayons with candles to make wax art!
One of my favorite memories happened to be yesterday with my mom. My first prom was last night and my mother helped me get al gussied up after being on a 6 week trip (she came home early just for last night!). I bought my heels from lulus and they just so happened to be 5.25″. A decent amount of heel that I had to get used to walking in, but my mom taught how to walk in them with confidence and ease. A perfect way to start a lovely night. Along with teaching me how to walk in these heels, she also taught me how to be confident no matter what. Getting ready with my mom was a memory I can treasure forever, along with the ones that I hope to make with her on this mothers’ day weekend.
PS. The pictures were hilarious considering she’s only 4’11 and I ended up being a towering(for her) 5’7
My favorite memory is when my mother & I went to find my prom dress, it was fun and of course hectic because we had to look for it last year so she could be with me to help pick it out plus she wanted me to try on so many and she’s so opinionated so of course we were dying laughing about the crazy things she said. This is my favorite memory because picking out your prom dress and your wedding dress are the special moments for your mom and we have been separated for 2 years and she’s like my bestfriend so everytime we see each other, we have to create memory after memory after memory to hold us over until the next time we see each other. I love my mom & I can’t wait to be reunited with her in a few weeks to get ready for my hectic graduation. 🙂
all my life its only been me and my mom,my dad was never in the picture so its only been me and her. one of my favorite memories is from when i was 12 years old, me and my mom liked to take a lot of road trips and one day 2 of our tires popped in the middle of no where! that day she showed me how to change a tire. its funny to me that my mom taught me that. so far my tire has only popped twice lol but i’m glad she showed me how:p
One of my favorite memories of my mother is when we adopted our dog Jack. I was volunteering at an animal shelter and she had come to pick me up. The decor was all set up for a valentines day celebration with red hearts and streamers everywhere! I watched her walk in the door and look into the eyes of the fluffy little mutt puppy and could see her just melt! She insisted to my father that we had to adopt him just so we could change his name, (who names a dog Stroganoff?). We brought him home that evening and 9 years later he is still brightening our lives.
I had to think a while to answer this question because most of my memories with my mom have been great. If I got to choose a favorite, it would be the memories I have during Christmas time. We live in an apartment complex and every Christmas eve, my mom had us convinced that “Santa” was real and I’d know he wasn’t but secretly I’d watch all the effort she would put to sneak in the gifts for me and my siblings and pretend she didn’t know what was even going on. Of course, the next morning, we’d all be super delighted to open up our gifts and thank “Santa” and I loved watching her face cause she would have this genuine smile of happiness and satisfaction. It was wonderful.
One of my favorite memories I’ve shared with my mom is when we had a Girl’s Day Out in New York City- just the two of us. We went on a mini shopping spree at Lord & Taylor and Macy’s, had an amazing lunch in Little Italy, and then went to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Such a fun day!
My mom is everything to me. To narrow it down to one singular memory is like asking me to buy just one thing at Lulu*s! But one memory always stands out in my mind. I must have been only two or three, but I remember it so distinctly. My mom put me down for a nap and she used to check on me periodically to make sure I was sleeping. I didn’t fall asleep but I wanted her to think I was so I wouldn’t get in trouble for staying awake. When she cracked the door open, I pretended to be asleep. I peaked my eye open to see if she was still there, but she had left. A half of a second later she popped back into the doorway with an “I got you!” expression and a big smile. We both laughed and laughed. She stayed and talked with me until I fell asleep. She would always tell me “I’ll love you forever no matter what.” So I’d go ahead and ask her every possible “Would you still love me if…?” I was so surprised when the answer was ALWAYS yes. My dad hasn’t always been there for me, but my Mom is my superhero. I would be nothing without her constant support and encouragement. If I’m lucky, one day I’ll be half as great of a mom as she is to me. <3
When I was too young to go to school, my Mom would always make up these activities for me and my siblings to do. I remember she would drive us to the zoo for the $5 Sundays. Us kids always marveled at the little spider monkeys in the petting zoo. So one day, I being the very girly-girl that I was, asked my mom why they weren’t wearing clothes and if we could get them some. She said she would teach me how to sew, because they probably didnt make animal dresses in the stores. By the next time we arrived at the zoo, I came prepared with three tiny dresses, (purple, red polka dot, and blue stripes), and two tiny bow ties. My Mom had to do some persuading, but we got the zookeepers to get the outfits on. I’m sure the monkeys hated it, but I was over the moon, and that’s how I became interested in fashion. I really owe a lot of what I know and who I am to my Mom. She’s the reason I can match my shirt to my pants.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep. I love you mum.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment. <3 mum
There was this flash sale in a boutique and gosh, me and my mom had gone wild by buying a lot of clothes, and when it comes to the cashier, we both look at daddy with the most sparkling eyes we have, after dad paid the bill, my mom and I were “hehehehehehe-ing” all the way back home. That was my favorite memory with her.
love mum!
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
one of my favorite well funniest memory would be when we went shopping at Costco for the first time. We spent an or so shopping and when we went to cash out, we realized we needed the Costco card. We weren’t aware of it, so it was pretty funny. We didn’t end up buying them after all. Eventually got a costco card after:P Other memorable moments would when we stayed up all night watching movies:)
My favorite memory of my mom was when I turned 17 and I finally opened up to her in the most honest way. It was like a whole new world opened up for me and instead of the enemy I was always fighting against she became my best friend. If it wasn’t for that pivotal moment 6 years ago, we would not as close as we are today.
When reflecting this mothers day, it is apparent the depth to which my mother goes each day to support my family. She is ever present in my life and acts as a guide throughout the tumult and financial adversity of contemporary society. My mother singlehandedly raised my family while my father was studying to get a degree with the prospect of tomorrow like the glow of a candle, wavering each moment, as time changed. My mother has grown very dear to me as I have grown up, nurturing and caring for me at every moment of the day. There truly is no memory that can be described that entails all of the wonderful things about her. However, each day when I come home she takes the time to ask me how my day went. Simple memories like these are what constitute a life filled with a grounded love. There is no other person in the world who can understand one like a mother, the lord’s gift. Happy Mother’s day mom!
My absolute favorite memory with my mother, is the night I had to go to work with her at night because my brother was not in the house yet, and I couldn’t stay by myself I was 7 years old and she told me that I had to be really good at playing hide and seek , so I slept in an empty patients room while she worked and everytime someone would walk up to the door I would get scared. This time someone came to the door and turned the knob and I panicked it turns out it was my mom bringing me ice cream from the cafeteria and she spent her break with me watching spongebob, until my brother finally came.
One of my favourite memory with my mom is when she attended my graduation in elementary. I havent seen my mom for so long, so at that time im so so happy and grateful that she was there.. It was a big gift that i have received.
My favorite memory of my mom was my thirteenth birthday. I waited all day for my dad to come over (my parents are separated) like he promised the week before. I literally waited all day for show up, I didn’t recieve so much as a phone call, and I ended up crying myself to sleep. The morning after my mom said to me, “Any man can have children but it takes a real man to raise a child but what he doesn’t know is that you’re my princess and kills me to see you sad. Just remember mommy loves you and will be here through thick and thin,” that one event made our relationship so much stronger.
One of my favorite things to talk about my mom is when we once got into a big debate/discussion/argument over an m&ms commercial! It was the one with a guy throwing up a huge m&m the size of a volleyball to catch into his mouth and instead gets knocked out. She she thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever. I tried to explain to her it was to exaggerate how big the m&ms were and just for a laugh, but she wouldn’t have it. I kept telling her it was just for entertainment value, but she say it was just stupid and nonsensical. It kind of got to the point where we were in a heated debate! After we couldn’t take it anymore, we just fell silent for a bit. After a few minutes of calming down, we looked at each other and started to laugh! I gave her a hug and a kiss and told her, “then no more m&ms for you!” I love my mom and how she sticks to her guns whether she’s wrong or right, she stays true to herself! I know I get that from her 😀 Love you Mom! Hu Guiya Hao!
When my mother got remarried before my freshman year in highschool. We went wedding dress shopping, and I picked the dress she ended up wearing in her wedding.
Each summer my mom and I take a mother/daughter road trip. Last summer, we were at Disneyland & we stayed all day long to see the midnight fireworks show. At the very end of the fireworks, we looked up at Cinderella’s Castle and we saw Dumbo fly across the sky. We were going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, but at that second my Mom hugged me close and whispered “Dumbo, you can fly!!” At that moment we both knew for sure that anything is possible. Love you mom, forever and always.
My mom is so amazing!! I have so many great memories but the most vivid are the days when after a hard day of school we would sing along with the radio and then grab frozen yogurt and all my problems were gone!! I love her!! <3
One of my best memories with my mom happened when I was a child…Mom was washing dishes. I was playing on the floor when I looked at her and I started crying! My mom immediately came to me and she was trying to find out what happened! She tried everything but I couldn’t stop crying. Then, I pointed out the dishes! Mom took me with her, (I was 3 years old) while carring me she turned on the tap and I started laughing and playing with the water! Mom laughed so much! Undoubtedly, the reason why I was “suffering” was because I wanted to wash dishes with my mom!
I am a single mother of two, and work as a full time Police Officer. I could never afford a vacation, soooo… My mom surprised me with eight days in Costa Rica, just me and her. Being the middle child of three it was few and far between that I ever had alone time with my mom. So if spending eight days in a beautiful country wasn’t amazing enough, one night we were sitting on the patio of our room in the rain forest, we look up and the volcano began to erupt. It was amazing. Thank you mom for giving me life, and that one amazing vacation I will NEVER forget.
The best memory I have with my mom is that when I decided what I wanted to do after high school, and my dad was against it, she came up to me and told me to do wathever i wanted to, it was my choice and she was going to be there to support me. It was tough decition but I made my choice and she moved with me to help me out and support me. She talked my dad out of it and they both decided that it was the best thing she could do for me. SHE IS THE BEST!
Ever since I remember, I’ve always celebrated Mother’s Day with my mother – whether it be as simple as making a card or drawing a picture when I was a kid or buying things that my mother wanted as I grew older and have saved up enough money. There was one particularly memorable Mother’s Day a few years back where I really wanted to do something special for my mother. I surprised her with an airline ticket a week before Mother’s Day and gave her time to pack to go to return to Hong Kong to visit and celebrate Mother’s Day with my grandmother. It was a celebration of Mother’s Day with two lovely mothers! We had fun dressing up, going shopping and having a great dinner together. My mother was so happy and thrilled with this gift I gave her that she literally cried with happy tears.
My favorite memory was when I was 11 years old. I obviously didn’t have any money but I really wanted to do something special for my mom for mothers day so I asked her for $20.00 dollars. She told me she didn’t have any extra money until the end of the week but Mother’s Day was approaching. I kept telling her that I really need it and its an emergency. She asked me what the emergency was and I told her its a secret. She started giggling. I asked her over and over and than I started crying. She ended up walking to the bank to take out money. She ended up giving me $20.00. That day, I walked with my friend up the block to a gift shop that sold cards and candy. I bought my mom a card and chocolate jelly rings. When I got home, I went to my room to write in the card and wrap the candy. The following day, I was in the car with my mom and she asked me what the emergency was yesterday. I told her, Maaaa…. I can’t tell you. It’s a secret. Mother’s Day finally came and I gave her the the card and the chocolates. She opened it up and gave me hugs and kisses and I saw tears down her face. She said…. Ohhh honey… This was the emergency? Your my baby. I love you so much. I will always remember that day!!
My most favorite moment with my mom so far was just yesterday when I graduated with my Bachelors of Scince degree majoring in Criminal Justice and Criminology from Arizona State Uniersity. After my convocation, I presented my mother with a stole of gratitude to show how much I appreciated all her who throughout my education. My mother is the most selfless person I know who is willing to help anyone who asks her for it. This moment will forever be special to me and will be cherished forever.
My favorite memory is of my mom teaching me how to ride a bike when I was a young child. We would walk together after dinner to the local middle school’s basketball court, and she would push me while I tried to pedal. It is a simple but happy memory, and one that I wish I could go back and relive. Life may not be so carefree now, but I know that the love my mom and I share has not changed one bit since then.
One of my beat memories with my mom was in my fifth birthday. We trabel togeather to Monterey we went to museums and parks. The best part was that at the end of the day she buy me a chocolate cake and i ate all. Is one of my favorites because was the first time i traveled alone with my mom.
Closing my eyes, trying to look at my mum as I remembered her from the last moment I saw her. It has been almost 10 months I saw her last time. Nothing bad happened, I just became an foreign exchange student in USA :). Exchange program isn’t a year in my life, it’s a life in one year! I saw my mum last time at the airport in Vienna last August, we said goodbye and see you in June. Since that every single moment with my mum is special. Doesn’t matter if is it over skype, email. Just can’t wait to see her again! Kiss her and tell he how much I love her.
The memories I have aren’t with my mother, they’re with my grandmothers and my father because my mother died when I was 5 years old. My grandmothers have been my surrogate mothers my whole life and have told me stories about my mother to keep us connected. This sunday was the best Mother’s Day I’ve ever had because I was able to spend it t church with my mother’s mother who I have only recently came back into contact with and it was amazing. The women in church sang and the wife of the pastor gave the sermon about how her mother influenced her and a young man who wasn’t her child. She showed us a video of how women see themselves and what the reality of what others see in us. I cried for the first time on mother’s day and it felt great. I am so happy and proud to have so many women in my life even though the price was my mother. It’s inspiring.
A favorite memory with my mom is hard to single out, but it’d have to be me being born. Everyday since I’ve been born I wake up knowing that there will always be someone who loves me no matter what, even if we don’t get along she’ll always be someone I can go to. We cook together, work out together, shop together, ect. Our bond is not always noticeable but I know its there. Sometimes I take having her in my life for granted and we don’t agree more than half of the time but I will always appreciate the one woman I’ve had since the day I was born and for the rest of my life.
One memory I will always have of my mother is her selfless dedication to making me happy. Every halloween, every dance, every prom, she put in so much time and effort to help me find the perfect dress, and matching jewelry and hairstyle. No matter how much I fussed she would always remind me how beautiful I was. We didn’t always have money, but my mom always made sure it felt like we had the best of everything, and I still feel like we did. Spending time together getting all dolled up for those events is what made them so special to me, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
One thing that I will never forget about my mother is that she taught me that even adults make mistakes. She would apologize to me if she felt that she did not handle a situation in a particular way, and that really showed me that my mom did not look at herself as just the person in “charge”, but a normal human being who was constantly growing and learning, just like I was. She taught me that mistakes can shape us in a positive way and that we should never believe that we know it all, but recognize that there is always room for improvement. I love her so much! Thank you mom for believing in me and displaying to me what it truly means to be a leader and a friend.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom is when she took me shopping for my senior prom dress. We to went the mall and went to several different stores. She would pick out her favorite dresses for me and I had fun trying them on. She even helped me pick out my high heels, which were beautiful and a pretty necklace. I’m glad she helped me pick out my prom dress.I am very thankful for my mother and all that she has done for me.
My favorite memory of my mother is remembering how much of a passion she had to be a mom. There was not a day in our time together that I didn’t know 100% how much she loved me. She put me first, always. Even as she was slowly slipping away she still found the energy to continue doing the little things she is so fondly remembered for. My mother is no longer with me physically, but there is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the time we spent together. I hope to some day emulate what she did for me with my own children.
One of my favorite memories of my mom…it was a typical day and I spotted something I knew she would think was funny…she spotted it too and we just looked at each other without saying a word and broke out into laughter…the uncontrollable, tears running down your face laughter! Things like this happen quite often actually. It’s so great how we both know what the other is thinking and get the opportunity to laugh together like that!
Most nights as a child I was put to bed by an older sibling instead of my mother, I’d awake to my grandmother who would supervise my morning routine before getting me onto the school bus. Looking back I am super happy to have had such an intricate, secure network of loved ones who each played a part in my well being. But I always felt as if their was a void. At the age of 5 I just thought I was a grouchy kid. At the age of 24 I know exactly what (more like who) was missing, my mommy. My mom is a hard working woman back then she worked so hard I mainly saw her on weekends. I didn’t know how much this dynamic would impact our future relationship. We aren’t friends; she is not my confidant, or who I lean on when I’m feeling emotional. Although we live together, we are paradoxically estranged. I don’t have many stand out memories with her, in fact I had to think twice before writing this. I felt like I would have to fabricate a story to match the heart-felt memories that some would post, but then it hit me! My most beloved memory with mom was when she would change my bed sheets as a child. She would lie on my bed for a few minutes afterward. I could sense that she needed rest, so I would sit next to her and try to work up the courage to ask her to play with me with ought feeling guilty about her lack of sleep. I guess she could see that void I was feeling because she would look at me, take a deep breath, grab me and we would wrestle. (I was a rough and tumble sort of girl. LOL I know it sounds silly but we would laugh and play. She would pin me and count to 3, and I’d hug and kiss her, oh we would have a blast! These play sessions would only last a few minutes at most and they were few and far in between, but as far as bonding goes with my mom that’s the best I’ve got. Who would have thought that such a small moments would mean so much to me, those are the memories I love most with mom. I understand the trade off between overextending your self to meet life’s needs and spending time with your loved ones. I wish it were different but I respect her for who she is, composing her self with so much class and grace, rising to meet every challenge and single handedly holding down our household. My friends literally call her super woman and the name is fitting! But really, I wouldn’t trade those moments for the world!!!
I have a few… But recently we got the opportunity to go “hawking” together. She loves birds so I treated her as a Mother’s Day gift last year to an outing where we were able to hold hawks and learn about their fascinating habits. It was a wonderful experience because it was something that my Mother is passionate about, and since she is… it was an easy bribe to get her to have fun. She is the kind of woman who always has cooking and cleaning to do, therefore her excuse is that she “doesn’t have time for anything” besides work. She has always looked after everyone else and been such a wonderful EVERYTHING that it was about time she had a day doing something she loves. I love you Moo! (nickname) =]
I have so many good memories with my mom. I’m very lucky because my mom always have time for my sister and me even when she works really hard. She is mom and dad and she do all she can for us. When I was 5 my mom worked in a similar place like blockbuster all day long. I remember she created a playroom for us in the storage room. My favorites memories are when she played with us in that place. It was really fun and means a lot for me.
My name is Katherine Lee and I was adopted at the age of 3. My parents were married for seven months when they adopted me. We looked forward to everything we’d share in the future. My mom was the best mom. Supportive, loving, attentive, happy, understanding, intelligent, talented, funny, thoughtful, wise, tireless, and kind-of a smart ass. I suppose that’s where I get it from. I also have my mom to thank for my musical tendencies. When I was fifteen, my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia. Through nine years of treatment, she remained upbeat and positive. The last time I saw her was at her hospital bed. She motionless, emaciated, weak, and could not sit up straight. But she was blinking and knew of my presence. I was at Chipotle in San Diego, California when I found out that she had died. No other hands are as strong, or hold me as tight. I rest in the safety of her heart. She is my refuge when the world around me is shifting. I will carry my mother in my heart forever. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there.
The greatest memory I have with my mom was our drive home from my college during winter break. We just talked and talked the entire eight hour car ride home and I loved it. My mom is so understanding and she is so fun to talk to. We talked about college, boys, and life after college. It’s just the best feeling in the world to have someone to whom I can pour out my feelings. We were listening to The Bird and the Bee’s song “My Love” on repeat. It’s a really catchy song so we both sang along at the top of our lungs. I still remember the wind blowing in our hair and faces as we sang along. It was such a relaxing drive. We both then had to go on a potty break but there were no rest stops in sight because we were driving through the woods. We took a pit stop and peed on the grass. Both of us were afraid that someone would see and it was so frightening because the sky was cloudy and the woods was dark because of the overhanging canopy. But we managed to empty our bladders and laughed on our way back to the car. Best moment ever!
One of my favorite memories was when I was in highschool, my mom decided she wanted to get her first tattoo. We went to the shop together and she not only got her tattoo, but she allowed me to get my bellybutton pierced! I was so excited and thankful that she has always let me express myself however I wanted to. I have the coolest mom ever, then and now!

The greatest thing about my mom is that she taught me that there is no reason a woman can’t function entirely on her own. One day she told me “You need to be able to take care of yourself, and fixing a clogged toilet is proof of that. Get on some glove, we have work to do.” Ha! Love my mom.
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was talking to her about college, the career I thought I was going to pursue and what I ultimately wanted to do. She is a nurse and had encouraged me to look into that career field so one of my earlier semesters in college I had taken Anatomy, Chemistry, Statistic, Philosophy, and a Ceramics class. I found most of my time spent working in my ceramic class and despite an interest still in the sciences I just knew that I may not be cut out to do nursing. While I was talking to her on the phone she had said, ‘Do what you love and the money will follow.” Instead of looking for a career/job that would pay the big bucks I selected to do what I knew I would love. The next day I changed my major over to a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art and I thank her for that support and encouragement in my decision.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom is having a Crazy in Love time seeing Beyonce in concert! Such a blast!
My favorite memory was when my mommy made me a pleated red polka dotted dress, and at the end, she made a mini one for my beloved teddy bear too, so we can match even though it was a boy with a bow-tie and suit like fur. That was my one and only dress she ever made me, if i knew i would have kept the dresses.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when I dragged her with me to go to Open House. This why I can go with her to my second grade class to show her my letter of why I loved her. The letter had said the little things I had loved about her. This happened many years ago, but we recently cleaned out our house, we found the letter, which also came with a picture I drew of her, and thought of the old good memories. I’m not sure if we have it now because we just moved, but I think she kept it. Back then, life was much simpler and we wouldn’t have fights on things about school and personal issues. Sometimes I wish I can just go back to those times. But, I know she still loves me now. Even with all our constant bickering and fights.
I don’t have a relationship with my mother, but one of my favorite memories was of my “mamaw” and I sharing a Twix while she knitted and I watched cartoons sitting on a pillow in the floor next to her in her chair.
My favorite memory with my mom was when she and I were sitting in our car, waiting for my dad to come out of the store. I was still in high school, then, and determined to oppose my mom on EVERY subject (boys first and foremost). She suddenly turned to me in our awkward silence and told me to listen carefully to the next song she was going to play. “Fix You” by Coldplay came through the speakers. My momma told me that the song reminded her of me, that she raised such a strong young woman and that it hurt her to see me broken (about a boy). It was then that I realized just how “in tune” she was with what was going on in my life, and that she had so much wisdom to share. At that moment I decided that things were going to be different between us. I still have a lot of growing up to do, but I’ve continued to let my mom help shape me into the strong woman she always told me I was. That night, my mom became my older sister and one of my very best friends. She is my most loved secret weapon 🙂
Me and my mother never got along as we grew older. We drifted apart so much to the point that to this day we both don’t even like each other. I remember my fondest memory of her was when I was a little girl she would always wait for me to finish brushing my teeth and then she would dress me in the strangest clothing ever, but I didn’t mind. I liked it, I really liked the fact that she took time out of her day just to dress me in clothes that she deemed fashionable, although the fashion police surely would have arrested my little 7 year old self haha. But what I loved the most, was the way she did my hair. I remember going to school with different hair styles and accessories everyday and whenever someone asked who did it for me? I would tell them my mama did, and I’d be so proud of her and giddy all day. I really miss it, I miss the relationship we had, but deep down I love my mother with all my heart, I just wish that I was able to show it. I love you mom xoxo.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep.
My favorite memory of my mom was when i brought home some green face masks and my sister cindy, me and my mom put them on and ran outside to scare my dad, it was funny because he wasnt expecting it. I love when we do things like this because me and mom never really got along that well and we barely did things like this when i was younger so it really feels great when my mom and I bond, along with my younger sister. <3
I don’t just have one special memory of my mother but I have a whole lifetime of memories that are special. My mother is now 79 years old and battling cancer. This tares me up inside knowing that she may not be around much longer and those memories will be all I have left of her. I’m so blessed that she is the best mom any one could ever have. Cherish every moment you have with your mother this Mother’s Day and every day afterwards. You never know how long you have. God bless all of us mothers out there. Happy Mothers Day.
The best memory I have with my mother is being taught to be a mother by a wonderful role model. It has been a long journey being a mother, full time college student, full time worker, and having an intern ship but with her encouragement and support it was possible. I will be graduating in a couple of days with a double major and thank my mother each and everyday for all her help. It has been a bumpy road but also the best memory I had with my mother.
Each day I’m able to spend time with my mom is a memory I will always cherish. She is a very strong woman and have taught me how to make my haters my motivators.
My favorite memory I have of my mom is every day that I get to spend with her. She truly inspires me to be the best person I can be in my life. And although we have had our differences (as a true Mother/Daughter relationship works), we still find our common ground: Love.
HI MY POOR BEAUTIFUL MOM PASSED AWAY 4 yrs ago but it seems like 4 months ago she suffered badly from breast cancer and bone cancer . I just wanted to write that on one day she snd i went to the beach and it was very cloudy so we waited for clearer skies but uh uh!! Nothing so they were crows around and we could hear them saying ehh ehh meaning like when some one says no no with the sound uh uh!! So i said to her mom they r telling us UH UH!! No sun she laughed so hard and for the longest time after i would tease and tell uh uh !! It was our joke . Oh i forgot so we left the beach and went shopping !!! I miss her so much , love you mom!!!!luv, Annamaria Happy Mothers Day!!!
My favorite memory of my mom was on my wedding day last June. She was the calm collected one, while I was trying to appear that way though was having a mini melt down on the inside. She was fantastic at making sure the center pieces were just as I had wanted them and that the butterflies (that we released during the ceremony) were still alive. There are so many reasons why that special day was so special – and it certainly wouldn’t have been possible without my amazing mom.
My mom gave up on me when I was 13 years old, I resented her for a long time, until I became a mom..I now know what not to do. My boys are awesome they are my world and because of what I went through I know how to be the best mother they could have. WE ROCK <3 Happy mothers day to all my beautiful strong mommies!!!
Mom wears her hats and I’ve enjoyed a few hand me downs. She inspires the women around her to dress their best. Always!
My favorite memory of my mom is actually one of our favorite ways to spend time together. Occasionally there are nights in my house when my brother is staying with his father and we know my stepdad will be working late. We go out and buy frozen yogurt and chocolate chip cookies and we curl up on the couch together. We spend the whole night watching movies and shows with our favorite actors in them and gossiping like a couple of high school best friends. Its when I feel closest to my mom and I know I can tell her anything. We share so much on those nights.
I think my Mom has become more of a blessing to me than ever when I became a mom. She graciously took the job of babysitting both of my children 40 hours a week, while I pursued my career in higher education. She has always been there nurturing my children, teaching them, training them, loving them with every ounce of her heart “in my place” while I worked to provide for them. I would never have been able to pursue my passion without her here to help me along the way! She’s the best Mom ever!!!
My favorite memory with my mom was when I was five years old and we went shopping. She let me pick out my first dress on my own. I picked out a glittery purple dress with tons of ruffles. I wore this dress every other day until it didn’t fit me. I still have it and I feel a sense of independence everytine I see it hanging in my closet. My mom encouraged me to be myself growing up and has always been so supportive of me. We still go shopping every other weekend and I would love to share a shopping spree at LuLu’s with her!
It’s so hard to think of a single favorite memory, because I have so many great ones with my mom. Everyday is a new amazing memory. One of my favorites will definitely be watching Russian “Cinderella” together while drinking tea in bed when I was young. It was thunder storming and I would always get scared of the thunder but loved watching the pouring rain. After the movie ended, my mom and I sat on a bench by my window and watched it pour down. Then she sang me a Russian song to put me to sleep and we would fall asleep together… sometimes awkwardly butt to butt and my mom would call that the “butterfly” sleeping position! My mom sacrificed many things to give me an opportunity for a better life when she immigrated from Russia to America. There isn’t a day that goes by that lets me forget. <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she came to visit me at college and a some asshole was mean to my roommate so she made him cry. Haha she’s way cooler than me.
My favorite memory of my mom and I was around the age of 5. My dad was just coming home from a tour in Iraq and my mother and I had a lot of bonding time between then. She was about to visit Vegas with her parents and other family members. She asked me if I wanted to go with her but I was too scared to ride on a plane. About 2 days after she left I began to have separation anxiety and wanted to be with her again and asked my dad if my sister and I could fly to Vegas with her. My dad allowed it and I was reunited with my mother. I had a blast with her in Vegas, even though I couldn’t participate in most adult activities.
When I was about 5, my mom and I would have a morning ritual. I would help her get dressed (because I have good taste) and we would sing/dance to Motown songs together. My mom loved a little bit of everything so every morning was always a suprise. It would go from Barry White to old school Michael Jackson or Diana Ross and the Supremes. Thus began my musical education.
My favorite memory with my mom was our Sunday outings when I was young. Every Sunday morning, without fail, we would go on an outing together. Sometimes it would be for breakfast, other times for shopping, or maybe just a walk in the park.
Even then I knew the importance of the outings and that they were a special time for us to share. My mother passed away in 2011 from ovarian cancer and I’m so glad I have these memories to look back on.
my best memory with my mommy is as a little girl I had play dishes and a tea cup set and she would make breakfast foods and serve it on the play dishes and sit at the play table with my sisters and I and play and eat with us haha! we would have Iced tea in the tea cups…now as adults we all sit and have coffee together and its always a great time! ah I love her!!!!!!
My mum is a huge country music fan and a few years ago line dancing was all the rage where I grew up in Ireland. Even though it was an adult class in a hotel reception room and I was 11 my mum used to bring me with her for our girly time. It was great cos I was the eldest of five children and so I never really got me and mum time except for that.
My favorite memory of my mom is the mother-daughter vacation right before I got married. We went to New York City for two nights and it was the most wonderful time. We saw Wicked and ate cupcakes and just had the most amazing time together.
My mom and I are both into running, and one of my favorite memories was training for and completing a half marathon together. It was an awesome feeling of accomplishment, and such a great thing to share as mother and daughter!
My favorite memory with my mom is just her being her she’s always been such a strong women with her not finishing high school it’s no wonder how she would maintain a job as a supervisor and provide for 4 children on her own but she did it. There were times when we would eat and she wouldn’t because it wasn’t much to eat. No matter the cost she made it happen for us. I can’t always say we had all of our wants but we definitely had all of our needs. Life with her reflected on me very much as now im a Soldier in the US Army raising 3 sons of my own and I would never been able to be as strong and as brave as I am without the training an teachings of my Mother.
Over the years I have had multiple moments with my mother that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Although, my most treasured memory with my mother occured a few years ago. My mother had been hospitalized for a while, and the doctors could not figure out exactly what was making her so ill. I am from a very small community and our hospital often does not provide us with the medical equipment that we need. Therefore, my mother had to been flown out to another city on an emergency flight. We were told that she had a very little chance of surviving, so saying goodbye to her would be in our best interests. The moment I saw her, I instantly thought to myself, “This is the last time I will see my mommy alive”.. So I sat on the bed with her and she held me close and told me how much she loved me, and that she promises to see me again someday. A month later, my mother recovered and has been doing excellent ever since. That moment with my mom will always be remembered and cherished for the rest of my life.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is making rice crispies treats when I was younger. It was so much fun mixing and forming those treats into so many different shapes <3
running to car and screaming at the top of lungs once we were inside after finding out I’d made the Varsity soccer team freshman year! Priceless!
I think one of my favorite memories of my mother and I is from back in the summer after my sophomore year of high school when we both decided that we wanted a major change of scenery in our lives and picked up and moved to a completely different state! It was very spontaneous and unlike us, but I’ve never regretted our decision to move; it was one of the best I think we’ve ever made.
My mom is definitely my best friend and we talk to each other about everything. She is the definition of a wonder woman and I look up to her so much! One of my favorite memories was when a wasp was flying around me and my little sister out on the deck and she just came up and backhanded that bee! No fear! Nothing messes with my mom haha. She has always looked out for us and would do anything for my siblings and me. I love my mom! <3
Well I only met my mom for the first year of my life, so I don’t have any memories of her to my knowledge. She died by accident because some nurses at the time were not doing their job. From what everyone says, “She was awesome”. I don’t really care for Mothers Day due to this. I do believe we were much alike because every time I do something people just stare and say ” You look just like your mom” . I miss her dearly and would love to have written a more happy story but in reality my only memories are the ones I dreamt I had.
My favorite memory of my mom is probably the day she decided she wanted me to be independent she told me I needed to learn how to mow the yard (we have 4 acres so we have a ride on mower) I was out there for four hours and when I was done I was so proud of myself I ran in the house and told mom to go see she said ” you didn’t mow the grass” it turns out I was out there for four hours and didnt realize that I never put the blade down! Mom always reminds me and we always laugh about it.
The most favorite memory that I have of my mom And I was when I was about 9yeArs old and we went to Coney island And she let me get on all the rides and I are all of the candy And junk food that I wanted. She died when I was 10 so that’s one of the last but most favorable moments for me
The best memory I have of my mother and I is her helping me throughout my whole pregnancy with my first child 2 years ago. She would bring me juice every night and she would sort all the new clothes we received by age and even ironed every single outfit. She came with me to all my doctor appointments. She was so excited and so very helpful. I don’t know what I would have done without her support ♥ Best mom/grandma ever! LOL =)
One of my favorite memories with my mom is going to the beach every year. We always have so much fun!!
My Mom has always been a little more… let’s say “open” than most. One of my favorite memories comes from when I was about 10 years old. My family and I (also consisting of my father and 2 brothers) were on vacation, and on the way we stopped at a Wal-Mart. As we were walking in, and I have no recollection of why we were talking about this, my mother starts discussing what to do in a situation where I am being hit on in an unwarranted manner. The situation she describes (which was so detailed that it MUST have happened to her in the past) is one where I am walking by the pool in my bathing suit, and some guy I don’t know grabs my butt. She advises me that I should handle this situation by screaming out loudly enough for everyone in the area to hear “DON’T GRAB MY F***ING ASS!!” Of course this only makes me and my brothers laugh, and thankfully I’ve never been put in that situation, but I’ve always looked back at that moment and thought about how strong, funny, and resourceful my mother is!
It was my 6th birthday and I wished and wished every night leading up to my birthday that my mom would come and see me, she lived in the USA and I was living in Trinidad at the time. Well on my 6th birthday when I woke up my mom was sitting on the side of my bed!! I was so happy to see her I couldn’t ask for a better mom or a better birthday present..
I love my mom..
My favorite memory of my mom is when we found out she had beat cancer for the second time around. I can still remember holding each other and jumping up and down with tears of joy in our eyes. My mom is not only my role model but my best friend and I’m thankful for every day she is here with me.
My mom always told me, “you have to work hard for everything you want! Be independent!” I started working at age 16 and thanks to what she taught me I was able to get through a really rough time in my life! I am today a very independent single mother! Work a full time job and my son is well taken care of! Thank you mom!
My most favorite moment is when my mom at 30 set me down at 9 to prepare me for life, knowing she did not have much time left here on earth. She passed two months later. She told me, 1. Try to always look my best because I never know who may be watching 2. Always wash my panties out by hand & dried them before throwing them in the dirty clothes hamper to prepare for a good wash. She probably said this because I shared it with five brothers, lol 3. Always wear a slip when wearing a dress/skirt. Of course nowadays, many have them built-in 4. Wear black undergarments with anything white and last but not least 5. How to part and do my own hair (make ponytails). I still use/do these things today. I know my fashion sense came from her…Love & Miss You Momma
My favorite memory with my mom (so far) has to be the hiking trips we’ve taken. For the last 3 years we’ve picked a different mountain in the Adirondacks and climbed it during the fall with all the trees in peak colors. We get great pictures and lots of time to talk and be grateful for our surroundings. 🙂
My mother died when I was younger so I don’t remember everything about her. But I do remember when she had cancer she would still cook dinner for us, this one time we had a “taco night” so she made tacos for us in her hospital bed. It was so much fun and she kept laughing and tickling us. I remember she used to always tell us that everything happened for a reason and the God gave us all angels to keep us safe. She was an amazing woman and she was a blessing to everyone around her.
When I was a little girl I would look forward to lunch every day at school. I vowed never to open my lunch box until lunch time because every day my mother would write me a sweet note on my napkin and at the end of the note she would always write, “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!” The notes were so special to me and helped get me through my day! If for some reason my mom forgot to write me a note I would be heartbroken! To this day my mom still writes me notes (text messages) and says the same saying before she goes to bed. It always makes me feel like a little girl again. Recently, she told me that I’m the only one she says that too, as I’ve always thought she used to say it to my sister too, but she told me she saved that saying just for me, which makes me feel even more special! Love you mom!
She was more entertained my SeaWorld than me growing up, and her enthusiasm was priceless!
Greatest memory of my mom is she used to help me make paper ships and my dad worked by the harbor in Boston and I remember she let me throw the paper boats into the water Love my mom!
My favorite memory was the first time I said “I love you” to my mother.
I’m not the type to really tell my parents “I love you”
So I had a traditional Filipino 18th birthday and mom and I worked so hard to put my 18th birthday together. We would bicker and at times argue then we would laugh and then agreed with our ideas.
when the actual birthday finally came, I could not believe how beautiful everything was my mother worked so hard.
Then I finally had to make a speech to my audience and to thank them.
I thanked my mom last and then I started to tear up because I will soon be on my own and by myself in college. I realized I love my parents so much that I said “I love you so much mom” in front of everyone for the first time.
A moment that I never forgot.
I think my favorite memory of my mom is from when I was really little. It’s not really a visual memory so much as the memory of a feeling. I remember lying in my crib with my mom singing to me, a lullaby to help me to go to sleep, asong about all the animals in the world going to bed one by one. I felt so safe and loved, and the tune is still with me even today.
My favorite memory of my mom was when I was 10, a few months before she passed away she took me out for a mother daughter day, we went to lunch, an amusement park and then out to dinner. It was great having a day to myself with my mom and i wish she was still here so we can do it all again.
I have a ton of wonderful memories of my mom and I but I would like to share an experience she and I had when I was born. I was born prematurely weighing 2 pounds. The Doctors told my mother that I wouldn’t live long after she gave birth. They released her from the hospital but she wouldn’t leave. She was determined and sure she would be taking me home. To make a long story short, days, weeks and months went by and here I am living breathing and healthy as ever! My mother’s L♥VE is what kept me alive!
My favorite memory of me and my mom will always be when I do her makeup and hair. She never did that growing up and knowing I can make her feel beautiful brings me great satisfaction. I’m a makeup artist by the way so she loves it when I pamper her. Seeing her face light up after a makeover makes me so happy and it’s those memories I will treasure forever because she deserves it. She’s a QUEEN!!!
My favorite memory I have of my mom happens over and over again each day. She reminds me that life could be worse and to always show others the kind heart I was given.
My favorite memory of my mom her sacrificing all of her time and energy to work 2 jobs to support my brother and I. She sacrificed not tucking us in at night or getting us ready for school in the morning, as she was always at work on en route to work. She sacrificed not having a car (hence taking 2 buses for her commute one way, meaning 4 buses round trip), so she could put food on the table and clothes on our backs. She sacrificed not having a social life, as she was always working, and when she wasn’t working, she was spending time with us. That’s my favorite memory, seeing her work so hard and sacrifice so much, just so we could have a normal childhood and enjoy and do all the things that all of the other children on our block did, such as wear decent clothes, go to amusement and waterparks, go on school field trips (which were only available to those who were able to pay the fees), and going to childrens concerts, such as sesame street, barney & friends, etc. My mom made sacrifices to ensure we had fun childhoods filled with memories that would last forever.
One time all my friends were having a New Year’s Eve party and didnt invite me, I was pretty upset that night and just wanted to go to bed but my mom wanted me to have a good night, we took our two living room couches and pushed them together forming a makeshift bed and watched movies all night, it might not have been extravagant but it was a great way to bring in the new year and I wouldn’t have changed it for anything, plus one of the kids at the party was sick and all my friends were coughing and sneezing for weeks after the party! Love you mom!
There are soo many great memories of me & my mom what I love most about her is her ability to separate mom from friend when need be. She has taught & given me so much I’ll never be able to fully show my gratitude I love her so.
My mom and I going clubbing. Was so much fun having drinks and dancing with my mom, whom my friends loved!!!
One of my favorite memories with my mom: I was helping her clean our apartment and we blasted Elvis and started dancing and lip syncing– it was hilarious to see ourselves, we ended up laughing so hard there were tears. Always the best to have an unexpectedly good time with her doing something that’d be so bland without each other!
Shopping with my mom, cooking with my mom, laughing with mom, arguing with my mom, crying with my mom…the list of memories I hold close to my heart are endless..but I remember 1 night in particular, I was going through a transitional phase in my life, and my mom asked me to walk with her.. It was a perfect night, the air was warm, the skies were clear and the smells & sound of the waves hitting the shore were so therapeutic..We didn’t say a word to each other,but she held my hand tight like she used to when I was a little girl and didn’t let go all night – my mother – my rock – my heart.
I have so many wonderful memories with my mom. One of my favorite memories is taking a cruise to the Bahamas with my mom. It was the first cruise for both of us. We had a blast eating the delicious food, participating in shore excursions, shopping, and spending some mother/daughter time together. Looking at the pictures reminds me of what a wonderful mother I have!
My mom always took me on dinner dates when I was little. She said she would just smile and tell me that I am the love of her life and that would never change. 🙂
<3 My mom told me that when I was born, the first thing she did was counting my fingers and she loves to remember that story because it was the first time she hold me on her arms. <3
In kindergarten my Mom came on our last day of class and there was a cake walk, done in a duck, duck, goose kind of way. We won three cakes that day. I remember being so proud of my Mom and it is probably one of my earliest memories.
One of my favorite memories of my mom and I was back in 2008, I had just moved back home for a little while and we both had gone through some tough times that year, and at that time Amy Winehouse was at her peak and my mom and I loved her music. One day during the middle of the day we put the Amy Winehouse “Back to Black” album on in the living room and we just danced our hearts out and had so much fun! We have always been so close, but at that moment I truly feel that we weren’t just mother and daughter, we were best friends, helping one another cope through heart ache and life changing events. I cherish my mom, and I don’t know what I would do without her. I hope that as I grow older I will be half the woman that she is. She has certainly help mold me into the young woman i am today.
My mom taught me strength, compassion, independence and love. She has taught me to be open minded, and non judgmental. My mom has worked hard her entire life and I thank her for instilling in me such a dedicated work ethic. Most importantly she taught me the value of family and how important it is to remain true to yourself and the ones you love. Happy Mothers Day to all Mom’s, but especially mine . xox
Who can say they have just one memory? I have a whole 21 years worth. I’m just so proud of her for coping with my dads cancer and his eventual passing. It has brought is even closer together. She is the best mum in the whole world, I hope to be half the woman she is when I have my own children.
My mom used to ask my sister and myself what we would like to wear for Easter each year. No matter how ridiculous (once I asked for a big hat with netting that came down in front), she would oblige. One year, we wanted matching outfits, so she drafted patterns, took us to pick out our fabric, and then we helped her make our mother-daughter creations! It was great because she cared so much and we got to spend time with her making something that made us all happy.
I think my favorite memories with my mother are when we are at work, we clean houses! We are always laughing and goofing around! We have had several of our costumers come in and say “Y’all sound like your having way to much fun to be cleaning” There’s NEVER a boring moment with her! I love my Mom!
My favorite memory is when my mom and I drove up to Maine (we live in VA) to drop my brother off at camp. On the way back down, we decided to take a road trip, just driving without directions. We ended up in this cute little town somewhere in Massachusetts and had a great couple of days spending time together. Afterwards we took another couple of days to stop at whatever we saw of the highway that looked interesting, like a Nail Salon, Ice Cream parlor, etc. We are hoping to do something similar again this summer because it was such a nice mother-daughter binding time 🙂
My favorite memory of my mother and I is when I was 12 my mom was getting married and she had asked me and my sister to walk her down the aisle
I live 17 hours flight away from my mom… And one time my mom surprise me at the airport (which is where I worked)
And I was extremely exciting!!!! OMG it was my best day ever cause I haven’t saw her for 4 years… And we had really good time together for 2 weeks… Love my mom!
BTW…I’m gonna surprise her too 2 days before Mother’s Day…
My favorite memory is just hanging out with my mom and watching tv or talking
The greatest memory I have with my mother is actually a lot of them, my step dad was in our lives for 16 years and then he left and after he left, me and my mom go a lot closer. Every memory before and after has been wonderful. I don’t talk to my biological father for my mother has always been like a mother and father to me 🙂 on Mother’s Day, I give her a gift and on Father’s Day I give her one too because she is both. If I won this it would mean a lot to me because I might can get her something out of it too 🙂
My greatest mom memory was shopping for my wedding dress. I didn’t bring any bridesmaids or other relatives, it was just me and my mommy, the person who knows me best in the whole world 🙂 Mom has always been my best shopping buddy and on such a special day she was the only one I wanted there.
I really don’t have a perse MOM in my life that I can look up to or even having found memories of, but what I do have is to be everything that I wish I did have in a mom, to be the best I could for my kids. I want them to remember all I ever did for them and to cherish and pass on the things I have taught them along the way.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is sadly one of the days after we found out that she was diagnosed with cancer. I took the whole day off and spent it with her. We just laid around and watched TV all day, but it was nice to take her mind off of everything and just spend the day with her. My mother is so strong and amazing and is always there for me. It was a nice way that I could be there for her. And although it was just as simple as watching TV all day, it was something that will stay with me forever.
My favorite memory with my mother is when I was in labor with my Daughter…. I couldn’t have ever done it without her & I commend women who have to go through that alone. My Mom helped me through the whole thing, of course when I lost all modesty she was right there rubbing my back through 29 grueling hours of labor doing everything she could to relax me and make me calm. That is a memory I will never forget!!
My greatest memory of my mother was when she took me to London for a week and spoiled me with a nice hotel, restaurants, and great shopping as a present for my high school graduation. While we were there we went to this really ool restaurant called “Sketch” if you look it up its amazing, its all about art, and the bathrooms were giant eggs! And so its pretty nonchalant there so if you go sit on the couch for tea and little figure sandwiches, others will also chill on your giant couch so my mom and I made friends with this guy who was sitting on the couch because he was in London for a business meeting. So my mom works for Calvin Klein underwear and she was telling the guy that and he was like NO WAY! Literally pulled down his pants to show my mom his Calvin Klein speedo looking underwear, and my mom and I just look at each other are bursted out laughing because these things were so tight on him. We share this story a lot, and was such a unny and great memory with my mom, she took a picture and everything if you don’t believe me, I thank her all the time for taking me on such an amazing trip, and I want to repay her one day when I graduate from college and make greater amounts of money than I am now and take her on a trip of a lifetime for her as well. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY LULUS!
One day, after a particularly bad day I had, my mom left the house as I stayed in my room and sulked. When she came back, she had my favorite food (sushi) and a box of candy and said, “Now I don’t want you to be sad anymore.” We had dinner and a little movie night in our apartment and it instantly made me feel better. I love my mom!
A couple years ago I got tickets to see my favorite band for the first time and I was supposed to go with a friend of mine. Literally two days before the show my friend bailed on me and I was devastated because I thought I wasn’t going to be able to go, but my mom offered to go with me last minute. So happy she did that for me. I had an awesome time.
My greatest memory of me and my mother is when we used to have Sunday dinner and the whole family use to come over and play games. The one game that we played the most was tug a war. It was me and my mom vs my aunt and my cousin. I can just remember her giving me this funny pep talk in the beginning like it was real. At the end we lost because we both couldn’t stop laughing at their face expresses. We had a rematch and won and for the rest of the night we was trash talking them and refused a rematch.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom was when I was in junior high. A couple of friends at the beginning started treating me badly and ignoring me. (pre-teens are not very good at picking friends). When my mom saw how hard it was on me she came up with the idea of having a fun dress up/photo shoot party and only inviting my good friends, so we went shopping together and picked up some fun items to add to our collection for the party. The party was a huge success and the ones that were not invited wished they had been. I will never forget this moment and how much it reminds me of how incredible my mom is!
Well my papa raised me but luckily early on in my life my dad found an amazing woman who helped him raise 8 children and 1 of which was hers at the age of 18! Yeah she’s pretty much super woman. Well anyhow, one memory I shall never forget was when I had to get my first sitches and I am well….pretty dramatic. I remember her rushing to my school, bringing me to the hospital, and waiting hours to finally get in. As they put them in she gave me her shoulder and I cried hysterically, tears and loads of snots. After it was all done I remember her saying ” See it wasn’t that bad. Not half as bad as the shower you gave me with your snots!”
No matter what my obstacles and challenges I go through in life I know I can always rely on my mom to be there for me. One of my many greatest moments was when we were in Vegas and we got drunk together on Jell-O shots. We had so much fun. She knows what I’m thinking and what I like. We will always be there for each other forever and forever. My mom is my everything and she’s the reason I’m here on this planet. Thanks mom!
One of the best memories of my mom is when I was little. She would fix my hair every single day and I always would tell her I wanted “big bangs” like her and her friends! She would poof my bangs until they were the way I liked them… I have so many unflattering pictures with big bangs as a child now 😉
My fair skinned, redheaded mother had a ton of freckles as a kid. She and her mother made up a little rhyme that they said every year on the first of May to “make the freckles go away,” and my mom passed the rhyme down to me. [“Mr. May, Mr. May, please come wash my freckles away. Until I am old and gray, please take all my freckles away.”] Growing up, we’d go outside first thing in the morning on May 1st, rub our hands in the dew on the grass, and rub it on our faces as we said the rhyme. I am 24 years old, and even if my mom and I aren’t together on the first of May every year, I still call her and we say it together. 🙂
Greatest thing about my mom is, she is a one tough soldier. She had to do everything by herself and thought me to be like that as well. Now Im living in another continent by myself for 4 years and I wouldn’t be able to do it if it wasn’t for her! THANKS MAAA! Now she is by herself away from me but she is okay because she knows its the best decision for me! and thank you Lulu’s for actually making me think about this topic which I realized I havent done for the longest time.
My mom has always been able to instantly make me feel great about myself. One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was 7 playing dress up. She put make-up on me, let me play in her heels and I felt so pretty. Then she took off all my make up and said now you’re really beautiful. She still tells me that and encourages me to love myself so much. She’s a pretty cool lady!
One of my recent favorite memories with my mom was inviting her to my first home for dinner, where I could cook and prepare a nice night for me and her. I enjoyed being able to pay it forward for all the times she had done this for me!
My mom always says, “Don’t let someones poor behavior be an excuse for your own” I have taken that lesson and applied it to my life daily. She has taught me to be the best person I can be. And I am so greatful for her. Best mom ever!
Recently, my mom and I went shopping for her “Mother of the Bride” dress for my upcoming wedding. For some girls a day at the mall with their mom might be a regular activity, but for my mom and I, this was the first time. Growing up, my mom worked as a secretary and didn’t make much money. Looking back, I realize how often she spent her hard earned money on the things I asked for (new school clothes every year, my hair and nails done for school dances), while she wore the same wardrobe year after year, never spending money on herself unless she shopped at a thrift store or consignment shop. Now that I’m an adult, it made me so happy to see her try on anything she liked without having to check the price tag and for me to then be able to buy her a special new outfit. This is one of my favorite memories of my mom because I loved making her feel special and pampered for a day, after so many years of her doing the same for me while she went without.
My mother and I deff don’t see eye to eye on everything but I do remember certain things she would do or say when I was young that still remains with me today. She was the first person to put the importance of dressing well into my daily life. She always said “Never let people know your season or that you aren’t feeling like yourself today”. That always stuck with me because even when she wasn’t happy or feeling well, every morning she got up, cooked us breakfast & dressed herself (& myself) to impress. Because of her, my love for fashion is tremendous. She also told me to push myself to achieve my goals. I struggled for years trying to find a career path that pleased my parents to no avail. Now at 28, I’m able to impart that same knowledge into my daughter. Strive for your dreams, never give up & dress like you mean it!! I have decided to go back to my roots & start my styling/fashion enterprise! I’m happy & excited about what’s to come. Thanks Mum
Memories are the only thing I have left of my mother as she passed away 6 years ago from breast cancer. The one thing she taught me & I really admired in her was her strength & courage through everything she ever faced in life! Every hurdle & obstacle that ever got in her way she endured with absolutely no fear. She may not have won the war, but she fought the battle with all her heart, strength, & courage one could only dream of! I only hope to make her as proud of me as I was of her! Love you & miss you everyday mom!
One memory I’ll never forget was when I was younger and my dad left us, my mom always stayed strong. She never showed one sign of weakness and it’s been that way for 13 years now. My mother has shown me I don’t need anyone but myself and the people who really care for me in my life, and although times may be tough, I’ll always get through it. Since my mother is a single parent and she always buys us everything we need and barely enough for her, if I win I’d like to give her the $100 as a gift.
My favorite memories of my mom were when she used to take me to the park to do art projects. Each time we’d go, we’d first stop at the art store to buy a new type of art material that I had never used before, such as oil pastels or water colors. I even got a huge sketch pad that made me feel like such a big kid at the time! She’d show me how to use all the materials and how to make pretty pictures like how she created them. We’d sit and play with the paints and pastels for hours. My love for the arts and being an artist started with her lessons in the park.
My mom and I don’t always see eye too eye. Infact I think growning up we argued more than we loved. One of the rare and most beautiful memory we had was in 2008 when I was going through a really rough time in school with bullies, my mom sat down with me and told me her life growing up and how life isn’t perfect. I have never felt that much love in one room like i did that day. If I could re-live that moment of feeling my mother’s love again. I would in a heartbeat.
My mother passed away back in 2006 with breast cancer. One of my fondest memories of her was when I was in Brownies, I had to “kidnap” her for our Come As You Are breakfast for our mothers. She was such a good sport coming in her bathrobe and slippers no makeup and bed hair. She never complained once. I so appreciated her for that. She was the BEST mom in the world. I miss her so much!
Favorite memory of my mother and I, was my high school graduation. She is a single mother of 5, and having her there meant the world to me. I worked so hard to graduate top 10 percent with a full ride scholarship to the University of Texas in Arlington. The way her eyes gleamed of pride is something I will NEVER forget. I guess in a way it was my “thank you” to her for all her hard work and dedication. Now I’m on my third year of college, and I can’t wait for her to see me walk the BIG stage one more time. 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when we ended up getting lost together while driving to an antique mall I wanted to check out. We ended up driving around for hours looking for it. We had a great conversation and she gave me so much good advice. I had just gone through a bad break up but she helped to put things into perspective for me. Sometimes it is easy to forget that she has probably gone through everything I have. We eventually made it to the antique shop but the process of getting there is what sticks in my memory the most. 🙂
My mother used to be an interior designer so after school I would come to her office and draw different renditions of my dream homes. She would let me pick out swatches from her books and give me to scale guides of furniture. My favorite version I made was the New York loft that was black & white w/ red accents and a pet snow leopard. haha… gotta love the early 90’s!
One of my favorite memories with my Mom was when she taught me to walk in my first pair of heels. It was two weeks before my 8th grade graduation and my older sister bought them for me as a birthday gift. My parents were a little strict and decided that I could only wear them on special occasions. I was nervous about tripping on stage (they were only about 2 inches), so my mother stayed awake with me and helped me practice in the living room, for hours. I made it through the ceremony without tripping or stumbling! My Mom is awesome.
One of my favorite memories with my mother was on Thanksgiving when i was helping her prepare the turkey. I’ve never been good at cooking but when she let me fix and bake the turkey all by myself, i was thrilled! Unfortunetly i burned the turkey to a crisp. While the rest of my family was mad and upset, my mother was hysterically laughing at me. Even though I was so embarrased, she made me feel alot better. To this day she still makes fun of me!
My favorite memory of my mom is the day she welcomed me into her family by adopting me 25 years ago. That was one of the best days of my life and everyday thereafter. I am grateful to have such an amazing mother who has blessed me with such an incredible life.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she helped me mom and my little sister escape our house when gunshots rang outside our house. She took us to a friend’s house to stay until we got back on our feet. She saved our lives ❤
My favorite memory of my mom was when she overcame breast cancer! My mom teaches me so much every single day. She’s been through a lot in life and I’m glad I can count my blessings that she is such a strong role-model, support system and friend to me. My mom’s diagnosis came a mere 2-months after her sister passed away from pancreatic cancer, so you can imagine what a shock it was and how hard it was on our whole family after all we had just endured. My mom never complained or asked ‘why me’… She is the epitome of strength and courage and somehow always keeps her positive outlook and knows Aunt Maggie is with her and us all. My favorite memory is looking back on her laughter and ever-present strength and being thankful for the many more memories I get to share with her<3
My step-dad had a weekend long business trip, and as a gift he booked a room at a hotel by the beach for my mom and I to spend the weekend together. We drove up to the hotel and spent the whole weekend just tanning and talking under the sun at the beach. Even though it wasn’t such an extravagant trip like Paris, I enjoyed every second of it. It was really nice to have some mother-daughter time.
My mother is someone I’ve always looked up to. She is so strong and beautiful. We’re at a rough point in our life since we lost my father in November 2012. Even though we cry at times, she is the one holding my brother and I together. If I could wish for one thing, I’d want to be courageous and strong like her. I love her dearly <3
My mom is completely amazing, and I believe that one of my favorite memories with her is something that you at Lulus could relate to. I was 14 years old when my mother decided to open a boutique, and I remember her taking me with her to market one day. Watching her pour so much into pursuing her dream and passion motivated me to go after whatever it is that I desired to do. Her persistence and hard work is what made her dreams possible, and I only hope to be half as amazing as she is.
Favorite memory of my mom and I was when her and my dad got married. I never seen such a hectic day turn into something so sweet and beautiful. She looked amazing smelled amazing and her smile was priceless
One of my favorite moments with my mother was when she held my daughter for the first time. She tried her best to be there for the birth, but my baby girl did not want to wait any longer to be brought into this world! Once my mother arrived and was able to hold her, I could see the love in her eyes. I could also see how proud she was that her own baby girl had given birth to such an amazing grandchild. It is one of those moments when no words are needed. I hope that someday I can share the same beautiful moment with my daughter, and that she knows how much I love her!
My favorite memories of my mom are when I was in elementary and she would play her gospel music on the record player and we would sing and afterwards I would stand on the dining room table and pretend that I would be preaching to my members. She would wave her hands and say ‘hallelujah’! My mother taught me to pray and put God first and to never forget him and I thank her for that, now I’m doing the same with my children…thank God for a loving and supportive mother!
My great grandmother raised me and my favourite times with her were staying home from school and watching The Price is Right with her.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she helped me move into my first apartment. We had bought new furniture that we had to piece together. Between the laughing and yelling, “PIVOOOOOOOT!” and the bottle of wine we split while building everything it’s remarkable that only one chair was put together wobbly.
The greatest memories about my mom I would have to say when she sat me down and spoke to me and told me I can tell her anything, anything in the world when she spoke to me I woul look straight in your eyes and I felt like I wanted to tell her a million things at once and I didn’t know where to start she told me listen it doesn’t matter how bad or uncomfortable it might be I will understand and from that moment on we became the closet friends my mom is the best thing that ever happen to me we do everything together we are inseparable i don’t know what I would do with out her she’s my life she’s the greatest mom I couldn’t ask for a better mom I have it all she knows all my secrets..
My favorite memory of my mom would have to be after I began my own journey into motherhood. Our bond grew stronger and i would need her more than I ever imagined. The day I went into labor at like 3AM, I woke gher up and she like jumped out of bed and was running around the house in an utter panic. I look back on it now and it was so funny. but it was nerve-racking for me because the contractions were so strong and in between them, i was coaching my mom and I’m like “Ma, calm down, relax, take a breath. We can do this!” The moment my daughtered enterd the world, and the moment I saw my mom holding her were two of the greatest moments of my life. Three more kids later (including twins) and my mom is still my greatest inspiration. She knows everything! She recently moved to North Carolina and i call her all the time to beg her to come back, tell her I love her and to remind her of the time she panicked, LOL.
Throughout the years of my life, my mother and I have created many special memories that are close to my heart. This was a hard question because I instantly thought of great mother-daughter shopping days or beach trips that clouded my mind, but I believe some of the best memories with my mom are the ones created at home while were being relaxed and goofy. Just a few months ago I was playing some pop music in the kitchen, and when a Rihanna song came on my mom started dancing around as wild and goofy as could be. We danced in the kitchen for 20 minutes and ended up on the couch laughing for almost just as long.
I have so many favorite memories with my funny mother. One that always comes to mind is a time we recently had at a gas station. We stopped at Quiktrip to get gas. I had just gotten a Coach bag from my boyfriend that week and it was my first Coach bag ever. It was sitting in the front seat. I got out to pump gas when a bee flew in my mom’s passenger seat window. I heard her scream and looked in to see what was happening. She was in full on panic mode! She jumped out the car and we opened the doors to try to let the bee fly out. That’s when the unthinkable happened. The bee landed on my Coach purse and my moms first instinct was to grab the purse and throw it. She literally through my purse across the gas station. She looked at me right away once she realized what she did and then ran to pick it up off the floor. We both laughed till we almost cried and couldn’t believe what had just happened. At least the bee was gone! Silly moments like these are what I love sharing with my mom.
The greatest thing about my mom is her strength. My mom has always been my best friend and in Sept 2011 she was diagnosed with Parkinsons. There have been rough times but somehow my mom always manages to have a smile on her face. She walks her dog 3 times daily and started taking Zumba to keep moving. Not once has she complained about how rough it is living with this disorder. I am getting married in July and my mom will be the one to walk me down the isle so i know my greatest memory is yet to come having her walking beside me to the new chapter of my life that is yet to come! I love you mom!
I CANT JUST NAME ONE MEMORY,THERE ARE SO MANY MEMORIES OF MY MOM AND I,BUT WHAT I WILL CHERISH THE MOST ARE OUR TALKS,LAUGHS,TEARS,COOKING TOGETHER,SLEEPING IN THE SAME BE TOGETHER,FAMILY VACATIONS,EVERYTHING,OUR MEMORIES ARE PRICELESS,I LOVE YOU MOM 🙂
Hello. My fav moment is laughing hysterically with my mom at my twin sisters wedding after running into the screen door on patio at the reception and she saw the whole thing. Cant ever live that one down and a picture to prove it! We have the best time together always.
I remember ever since I was old enough to walk following my mother around the kitchen. This has been one of the biggest influences in my career as a chef, and I have her to thank for being my inspiration!
My favorite memory with my mom was…..well I have alot but the most recent was when we was at a family reunion and she started dancing to Beyonce(remind you she is close to 50)she dropped low to the floor and was shaking it!lol ! Thats my mom ! I just love her !
As a single mom my mother makes lots of sacrifices for me! She has taught me to never give up, back down, or walk away from what you want most in life. She is a soldier, and I love her for this! I have shared so many memories with my mom, we travel alot because I play soccer…attended my first concert with her (BritBrit), we shop, get nails done together, and mainly just hang out watching TV! Happy Mother’s Day Momma 🙂
The greatest memory i have with my mom, is when she was pregnant with my little brother. she found out that she had Lupus, and if it wasnt for my little brother, she could have died shortly afterwards. but he was her little miracle. after that, i realized that even though we fight & dont always get along, i need to cherish the time i have with my momma. i love her so much & i dont know what i would do without her. she taught me everything i know. she is my best friend. she has always supported everything i do. especially when i came to doing makeup, she has always been my number one fan. i love you mommy.
The memory tht sticks out the most for me is very recent. I was having major surgery to remove a tumor and she held my hand all the way to the operating doors, i was scared and crying and when we let go she said “no goodbyes, ill see u later.”
It’s hard to choose a favorite memory because it feels like every day I spend with her gives me a new one. I love all of the memories I have of her sitting at the end of my bed while I’m laying in it talking about anything and everything. Sometimes she lets out this ridiculous laugh and I can’t help but smile thinking about it. If you would have told me when I was younger that my mother would become my best friend, I wouldn’t have believed you. But it has definitely happened! And I am so thankful 🙂 <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom was picking out dress patterns for her to sew. She was a wonderful seamstress, and would always create beautiful dresses for me to wear. She once made me an incredible emerald green velvet dress(I picked out the fabric, of course). I must have worn that dress a hundred times!
I am a lucky girl because I have two moms, the one that gave birth to me and a Stepmom. They are completely different but share one commonality, me. Throughout the years they’ve certainly had their up’s and down’s and personal issues with each other but they never let it affect my siblings and myself. I remember when I was about 6 years old, they surprised me with a trip downtown to the newly opened American Girl Store. I had been skimming through their catalogs for years dreaming of what I could dress my dolls in and how I would do their hair. This day, the best day, was even better than what I had imagined. We walked round for over an hour and I finally picked out my doll and the cutest outfits I could find. Then, it was lunch and tea with all 3 of my favorite people. I still have my American Girl Dolls and cannot wait until I can share this experience with my daughter one day.
My mum is my friend, we share a love of music so going to festivals and gigs together is a guaranteed good time. Dec 2012 is my favorite memory – Going to Paris for Swedish House Mafia’s one last tour then flew back to Aberdeen, Scotland the next day for Florence and Machine gig. We danced so much and had such a laugh.
I’ve never been much for pain. My mom always used to say, “You’re on your own when it comes time for you to have babies… I will show up afterwards..” But I knew when that day came I would need her, so I made a point to try my best at handling my pregnancy without her help… Through morning sickness… Through dehydration… Through body aches and sleepless nights… But to no avail. She was always there force-feeding toast, placing a cool cloth on my head, and lifting me up with inspiring words. I was hopeless, thinking at this rate she really won’t attend Judah’s birth. The day came and I managed to get through the first part with the help of my husband-to-be. Hours passed slowly and as I start to feel I might lose it, in she walks all smiles. I was livid, to be honest. She promised she wouldn’t be here and I thought I prepared for it. But as she massaged my back I drifted into my first small nap. She spent the whole day with me in the hospital walking the halls with me, calling me super woman, holding my water, brushing my hair back, and telling the nurses to let me be naked if I want to. I know I would’ve needed the epidural if she hadn’t been there. It was the best day if my life, and my absolute favorite memory of her: the tears streaming down her face as she catches the first glimpse of her very first grandson, my Judah.
My favorite memory with my mom came from a devastating experience. My parents were getting a divorce, and my dad eventually ended up walking out. Through this hard time she made things better by always supporting me and reassuring me she will always be there for me. To show that, she allotted 3-4 pm everyday after I came home from school to have mother/daughter bonding watching Gilmore Girls. Gilmore girls demonstrated a strong and growing relationship between mother and daughter, which ideally represents mine and my moms relationship. Every time I flip through the channels and see that Gilmore Girls is on, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have an awesome mom like her. She is my best friend and I love her unconditionally.
The Greatest mom my mom and I had was when I left to six grade camp and I spend one week away from home.. We were not suppose to bring our cellphones but i did and Every night before sleeping she would call me and tell me how much she loved me and missed me! I just love my mom, the most amazing thing that anyone has.
One of my favorite memories with my mom would have to be the past year that I have been back living at home. It has not been easy. As a 22 (almost 23) year old college grad that has been living on her own for the past 4 years, moving back home was exciting at first but then reality hit me. Through all the ups and downs (and there has been A LOT of downs), my mom and I have gained a new respect for each other. I was always closer with my Dad and that hasn’t changed but my mom being able to see me as a now matured young woman and not the 18 yr old that left her house years ago, has strengthened our relationship and we are still learning so much about each other and who we are as women. I see myself so much in her and she in me. Although I am leaving for graduate school in August, I’m very grateful for this past year and it has only made the memories with my mom and I sweeter. I’ll always be a Daddy’s girl but there is nothing like that genuine tough love I have with my mom.
To celebrate my mum’s 50th birthday, we went on a safari in South Africa because we are always up for an adventure. She and I drove through the game park in the rikety rental car only for it to break down in front of the lions. We were terrified, but all we could do was wait for the game ranger to come. We passed the time talking about old memories, singing lion king, and shrieking if a lion came near the car! We lived to tell the tale 🙂
One of my favorite memories of my mother was when I was about 7 years old. I came home from school crying because I did not have a “twin” to participate with in the school’s “twin day” the next day. I can recall being the only redhead in the entire school and how it made me feel completely left out and alone. How could I be twins with someone who didn’t have my same hair color? My mother embraced me in her arms, wiped my tears and gave me a kiss on the forehead. She looked at me and asked “what did you plan on wearing tomorrow?” She and I went to my room and selected a perfect outfit for the next day. At the time, I had no idea why she was doing this but it was cheering me up so I didn’t fight it. I walked into the kitchen the next morning and there, leaning against the edge of the kitchen table, was a paper version of me! The same height, same hairstyle, same colored eyes and the exact same outfit (down to the mini flowers that covered my shirt). My mom stayed up all night cutting, coloring and pasting together construction paper to create a wonderful version of a twin for me to take to school. I didn’t care how silly I looked carrying around that “paper Sara”. I was just so happy that I could finally participate. I came home with the ‘most creative twin’ prize that afternoon. I look back and laugh when I see the pictures of me, my toothless grin and that paper twin by my side. I will NEVER forget what my mom did for me that day!
My best memory of my mom is sitting by her side when she had breast cancer. Now she a cancer free mom n I award her everyday for fighting cancer now it’s my turn to get checked out for cancer and I’m only 20 years old.
My mum and I are exactly the opposite. She completes me and I complete her. Her way of loving me is so different from mine. But in some way we love each other in the most beautiful way.
I just wanted to express my love for my mommy as I express it to her every single day! I don’t have any special moments with her to tell you about because every moment with her is just as special as she is to me.
I love you mommy! (my last purchase is a gift for her so please keep an eye on it!!haha 🙂 )
My best memory of my mom is when she had breast cancer. I stayed by her side when she woke up from her surgery I held her hand to whole time when she woke up we both had tears in our eyes. I love you mom
Best advice I got from my mom is to not care what other people might think of you. Just do what you want and what your heart tells you. And of course, my best memories with my mom was ‘shopping’. Yes! I got my thrifting skills and everything fashion related from her. We have the same shoe size, she also loves collecting bags and she loves music too! Although she hates everything rap, I just play some Tom Jones with her vinyls and she including my dad will dance like crazy in the house. haha! So yeah, my parents are kinda cool. My mom is the best!
A favorite memory of my mom and I is when we went to a wedding in St. Croix. At the reception my mom heard a song she loved and grabbed my hand to dance. My mom does not have the best dance moves, but she broke it down on the dance floor. We danced the whole song and were dying of laughter after it was over. This is one reason why she is the best mom anyone could ask for.
Cleaning the house can be a mundane task. Unless, of course, your mom blasts Pantera and you sing along opera-style! The best memories I have of my mom involve music, singing, dancing, and concerts.
A FUN memory that me and my mother have is back when I was in highschool, she finally decided on getting a tattoo and brought me along. She ended up getting her tattoo, and I ended up getting my bellybutton pierced. I was so happy that she let me…she’s the coolest mom ever. It turned out to be a great day sharing that experience together.
My favorite memory with my Mom was having her with me in the delivery room when I gave birth to my Son and her telling stories of when she delivered me…like when she first held me she took hold of my left hand and says thats why Im left-handed,lol. 🙂
It’s the little things that count the most. My family always takes a yearly vacation to the beach in the summer. My mom and I are both early wakers in the morning while the rest of my family likes to sleep late. So, early in the morning as the sun is rising my mom and I would wake and we would take walks on the beach. The beach is most pretty in the mornings, I think, because there’s not many people there so it’s just so mother-daughter time I always enjoy spending with my mother. I will never forget the times from when I was real young, and these memories contine even as I grow and go on
this vacation each year.
My greatest thing about my grand mother is her instilling me the values about life. I lived with my grandmother most of my childhood years. On May 20 will make 25years since she passed away. I know that she would of been proud of me to see that the same values that she instilled in me I am putting them in my 5 kids.
Happy Mothers Day Mother 🙂
My mom and I got stuck in an elevator together, missing my appointment with an admissions counselor for a school, but I ended up learning so much about my mom during the hour that we spent in this elevator! It was definitely worth missing the appointment for. I love my mommy and I can’t wait to see her when I come home from school THIS weekend!
My best memories are when my mother makes donuts using my grandmothers recipe. They always come out perfect…just like how my grandmother made them. We all pitch in, including my father 🙂
One of the greatest things about my mom is she’s always there when I need someone, rather it’s a birthday party that everyone canceled on me, or a graduation she’s there. She hasn’t missed a beat in 24 years. My favorite memory of my mother is the day I graduated from college. She brought so many people it sounded as if she had brought the whole block when they cheered for me. I almost wanted to cry because I had accomplished something that no other woman in my family had ever done. I had a college education. We hugged when I finally made my way back to her. It was that moment that she had solid proof that she had raised a wonderful young black woman.
I am a carbon copy of my mother, meaning I’m easily sidetracked, love clothing and enjoy making others laugh. And because I am this way, it meant I often wandered away from her during shopping endeavors. One memory I have, in particular, is from when I was about 4 years old, and we were shopping in the women’s department in Wal-Mart. While my mom was on one of her browsing sprees, I sneaked off and hid within one of the circular racks of clothing — something easily accomplished when you’re only about three feet tall. When I heard her begin to siphon through the rack, I reached out from behind the clothing and grabbed her leg. There was a very loud scream — except it wasn’t from my mom. I had grabbed a complete stranger by accident. To this day my mom explains that’s why she invested in the leash-like strap she’d attach to both my wrist and her own whenever we went to the store after that.
The greatest moment I shared with my Mom was the day my son was born. She was right there by my side to help, encourage and support me and my husband as we welcomed our first baby into this world. The support my Mom has always showed me throughout the years, her encouragement and love is something that every girl needs in her life. My Mom made me into the person I am today and I am proud to say that I am just like my Mom! Love you to pieces Mom!
One of my favorite memories is when I was 5 years old and we went fishing in this little creek at my Dad’s ranch. I remember trying to cast out my lure and the hook got stuck in my mom’s neck. I kept pulling because I couldn’t figure out where it was stuck when finally I realized I had caught my mom! Nothing was too damaged, she just had a small cut, but I felt so awful. It was literally like a scene from a movie. My mother also made every single Halloween costume of mine from a baby till I was too old to think it was cool anymore, as well as, matching Christmas pajamas to wear the night before with my siblings! 🙂
One of my favorite memories of my mom was when we were on vacation with my grandmother. We were on our way to dinner and kept hearing this high pitched noise. We listened to it for about 15 minutes until we all looked at each other and then at my grandmother. My grandmother’s hearing aids were accidentally turned on in her purse and making noise. We laughed so hard we cried!!
As a child, I used to get sick a lot and I obviously hated school so much. My favourite memory was when my mom used to come to school and take me out for breakfast or brunch. or after a visit to the hospital, she’ll take me out for a treat before going to school. just the two of us, alone.
My Mom works a full time job so as a child, I didnt have much time to spend with her by myself and going outside was a real treat back then.
I remember her one time coming in with a green maxi skirt and she looked so pretty! I always thought my mom was the coolest and still do. God bless her 🙂
Years after I left home to go to university, I as at home visiting my folks. My Mum and I went into town to have coffee, and as we were walking around we went to cross a street and Mum instinctively put out her arm to hold my hand! Then at the next street, her instincts kicked in again, but this time she grabbed my hand and pointed out “curb!” in case I hadn’t seen the drop. Then “oop – car!”, holding me back from the road. I smiled at her and nodded, then started pointing out obvious things around us – “tree!”, “sky!”, “person!”, and she realised what she’d been doing and we laughed about it. Mum will always be a Mum 🙂
In 6th grade when my mom FINALLY got me a dog after months of me begging. Now she loves that dog more than any of us 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when I was sitting on Baby Beach with my mom and my brand new puppy Kuta in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. Not only is this a very beautiful and peaceful beach but its where my mother gave me a gift of kindness. I had recently gone through a bad breakup after a two year relationship, the puppy that I picked out and thought was hypoallergenic turned out to affect my allergies, and I was just heartbroken. I didn’t want to send my sweet little pup back to the breeder so my mom made the sacrifice to take Kuta back to New England to live. Because of her kindness and sacrifice I now get to visit my puppy every year and my heart has healed a bit.
My favorite memory of me and my mom was actually when she was battling breast cancer ad I would sit with her and talk to her and watch tv with her. We would just talk and laugh all night. That is my favorite memory because we became really close during that time and it was my last good memory with her before she passed away
My favorite memories of my mom and I came when I had my (now 2 year old) son. The nights that we stayed up, both exhausted, doing it together, we learned more about each other than the first two decades! I will forever be grateful for the amazing woman she is and taught me to be!
My mom is so special. As a recently single mother, many memories stand out! The one that makes a great impression was when I was getting ready to take my senior picture. We couldn’t afford to have a professional photographer do it & I needed to use the few outfits I had in my closet. My mom reminded me in a soft voice, “I want to give you the world, to let you buy those new clothes and afford to have professional pictures. But I want you to know that your beauty is within you. Your beautiful personality will shine through your pictures no matter who takes them or what you wear.” Having my mom encouraging me like that is priceless. Love you Mom! <3 Feffie
My mother was recently diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer and had a lumpectomy to remove it, and starts her radiation treatment next week. We were always close before but this disease brought us infinitely closer together. Some of my most favorite moments with her were when we would work in our garden, planting flowers and her explaining how to care for them. She was essentially teaching me how to nurture, love, grow. She was teaching me how to be a mom. When she would cook homemade Italian food, she would teach me how to knead the dough, make the sauce, cook the meat. She was essentially teaching me passion, patience and perserverance. When we would go shopping and I would cry because I hated my body and asked, “Why don’t I look like the models?” She would say, “Because you have my petite body and big hips and you are beautiful.” She was essentially teaching me acceptance, style and grace. All these experiences were to teach me to be a good person, to be a good child, to be a good mother. Without those lessons, I would never be the person I am today. If anything, my mother’s breast cancer is a testament of her family’s love for her, her immense strength and the grace she’s had through all of life’s circumstances. I LOVE YOU MOM!
I love watching my mom play, sing or talk with my little children, it brings up all my memories of these special moments of when I was a child.
One of my favorites memories or activities that I love to do with my mom is spending time baking delicious goodies with her in the kitchen or gardening with her. It would always be so peaceful as we sat together taking out weeds from the plants and we could talk about the many things that were going on in our lives. Those are some of the many ways that we could get close to each other.
My favorite memory of my mom is experiencing with her the birth of my younger sister, her second daughter. After struggling with the pain of many miscarriages, I saw my mom hold my baby sister in her arms. It was a beautiful sight filled with so much love. Love you Mom!
I grew up in London and one of my favorite memories with my mom is everyday after school my mom and I would walk a mile to my dads shop to bring him lunch! It’s one of my favorites because she would hold my hand the whole way and ask me about my day and I would go on and on and she would just smile and listen! It made me feel so secure and close to her as a child!
One of my favorite memories of me and my mother is the talks that we have whenever I get home from school. I always vent to her about everything that is going on in my life and she is always there to listen and give amazing advice.She does not judge or get angry with what I tell her. In the past year, I have lost some of my closet friends (no they haven’t died…i just stopped being friends with them because they have betrayed my trust). Through all of that, I have realized that my mother is my best friend and no matter what I say, do or tell her she will ALWAYS be with me. She will not leave me or judge me like my used to be close friends did.
My favorite memory is basically spending every Mother’s day with my mom since I was born on mother’s day and it’s a great reminder to appreciate the one woman I couldn’t live without! Oh yeah and the memory of my Mother’s home-made chichangas in my mouth S/O to my mom
My favorite memory of my mom is when I was in college and I was home writing a paper for a class. I asked her if I could read it to her to see if she like how it was worded. She was laying in bed and reading a book so she marked her page to perk up and listen. I began reading and was about to start the second paragraph when I stopped at looked at her. She was snoring! I stood there for a moment in disbelief and I guess the silence woke her because she said, with her eyes still closed, “Sounds great Mia! I like it!”. I couldn’t help but laugh and told her that I only finished the introduction. She started to laugh and said “Well that was a great introduction!”…
My mom was always on my team and was my biggest cheerleader/supporter. Even if she fell asleep on the job. *rim shot*
My mother has always taught me to feel confident about how I look. I fell in love with fashion even when I was small according to her influence. It was fun shopping with her because she became an “instant stylist” for everyone in the stores and they said, “I wish my mother was like yours. You’re very lucky!!” We live so far apart now but I always love and miss her very much.
I have alot of beautiful memories of my mother but my latest favorite memory would having a surprise birthday for my mother and seeing her so shocked and happy she must have smiled all night and that made me the happiest person in the word
My mom is in her 50’s and she is the most beautiful and cute woman in the world I ever seen. My mom and I used to watch TV drama “Downtown Abbey” together, and we call ourselves lady MK(me) and lady Sung(mom) when we’re having a tea time! LOL I love my mom so much and thank her of all the love and devotion that she done for me. My plan for this mother’s day is to buy her couple maxi dress and walk along the west coast with me and my lil sister together! Happy mother’s day<3
My mom is the most greatest woman I know, We fight after all but all I want to see her is happy and to be loved.
The greatest thing about my mother is, that even though she has passed away it’s like she’s always here with me and watching over me. Helping guide me to make the right choices and inspiring me to work my best each day and not to take life for granted. She helped teach me to do the right thing and be a great woman.
My favorite memory with my mom took place at a renaissance fair. I wasn’t too thrilled to be there, but my mom was determined I was going to love it. After about an hour my mom decided we were going to one of the performances at this outdoor theater. The show started with two men performing a comedy act. It was pretty cheesy, but it was better than nothing. Eventually the performers announced they needed a volunteer to join them on stage to receive a special honor. The audience went wild with hands thrust into the air and voices yelling wildly. As a joke I stood up and motioned at my mom sitting quietly next to me. To my surprise, one performer acknowledged me and bounded over to mom. Before she knew what was happening she was ushered on stage and placed in a large throne! The performer asked my for mom’s name, but did not agree shouting – “No, she is as pretty as…as a petunia! Therefore her name shall henceforth be Petunia, and I shall be her jester!” The audience roared with laughter. Now, my mom hates being the center of attention, so the petrified look on her face was priceless! I know how much she must’ve hated being up there & the only reason she did it was for me, and I’ve never forgotten it. I love my mom and appreciate her more than words can describe. She’d do anything for me, even if it meant embarrassing herself – just to see me smile.
One of the greatest things about me and my mother is that when ever we get to spend time together we do it watching our favorite show, which is a Hispanic version of “Judge Judy” on the Spanish network. Its a rare occasion because I don’t see her as much as I want. And what makes this so great is that this is something we did when I was VERY young, just sit watch talk and munch on something.
every spring my green thumbed mom takes my black thumbed self to a greenhouse and buys me flowers for my house and helps me plant them!
My favorite memory with my mom is all of them. There are so many things that she has taught me in life. Most of all I love all of our “hangout” time, mani/pedis, shopping and making the midnight showing to all of our favorite movie releases. My mom is awesome! && I love her for always being there and teaching me how to become a strong woman:)
best of my mother is more than my mother is my friend and is always with me at all times, it´s comprehensive, takes care of me and I agree as anyone, I love my mother because it never finds someone in the world that protects me and I want to like her, it’s all for my. I love you mom
One of my bosses died and I had recently moved 900 miles away. I was a senior in high school, away from my friends and my job, and I wasn’t going to make the funeral because of the distance. I was heartbroken. My mom picked me up from the school early and tried to take me out. We didn’t know where anything was, it was all unfamiliar. But, God love her, she drove around that huge town and managed to find a place with good salads, some cheese fries, and donuts (three separate places obviously). She took me home and watched Disney movies with me in her room. It may not sound like much, but the fact that my mom gave up an entire day so I could mourn and be sad means more than I could ever describe.
She’s amazing.
My favorite memory of my mom was when she took me to visit my grandparents in Mexico for the first time. I was only seven years old and while in Mexico she showed me her favorite place to visit as a kid. It was a field full mango trees. The place was huge and amazing in my eyes. I remember she taught me how to climb a tree in order to grab the mangos and put them in buckets. We were both at a high branch of the tree and when it came my turn to get off the tree I was extremely scared. But she calmed me down and encouraged me to get down on my own. I still have a picture of that moment. Everytime I see it, it reminds me of how amazing my mom was because she made me live a great moment in my childhood that she had once experienced.
My favorite memories with my mom is how she raised me all by herself. She taught me how to be independent. She supplied me with everything thing I needed and a just about everything I wanted without anyone’s help. She showed me how to be a strong women. She gave me so much love and encouraged me to go far in life. She was also the kindest person I know. She also helped other’s that needed help. In loving memory of my mom!
Two years ago, on the day of my wedding, my Dad’s flight was cancelled and he couldn’t make it on time to walk me down the aisle. I was so shocked and upset because no bride wants something that big to go wrong. My Mom walked over to me and said, “One of the most important parts of life is being able to adapt to changes. I’m very sorry that your father can’t be here, but I would be honored to walk you down the aisle.” I said, “Ok, I would love that!” as tears ran down my face. We looked so happy (and emotional) in pictures. My mom is the bestest friend I could ever ask for!
My favorite memory of my mom was when she and I would go shopping together! It was always so much fun!
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom was back in 1999. It was the Boy Band era. I had my fair share of favorite boy bands and one of them was the Backstreet Boys. She knew how badly I wanted to go but tickets were so expensive so she surprised me with floor tickets! I was in a Nursing program 2 hours away at that time and was so bummed coz I had class the night of the concert but she said skip the class just this once and go with me. So her and I went to the concert. It was the best night of my life (yes i was such a teenybopper). I was able to touch 3 of the 5 guys! hehe well ok shook hands and a semi hug. Up til now she still won’t tell me how much she paid for those tickets and i could tell they were very expensive. We both had such a blast! She’s the best mom ever who will do everything she can for her kids.
The greatest memory that I have with my mom is when my mother, my sister, and my niece went to the zoo. That is my favorite memory because the only other time that we had been to the zoo was when my father was still alive. After my father passed we all kind of drifted apart. It is nice to be able to talk to my mom and know that she will always be there for me. My mother is the greatest person that I know and I am so blessed to have her.
My favorite memory is hard (so many good ones to choose from)! One of my faves is when my mom stood in line for hours to buy me New Kids on the Block tickets! I cried (tears of joy) the whole ride home! The night of the concert (my firs ever), she took me to a nice dinner and then to the concert. She was my hero that day and so many days since!
A favorite memory of mine is when my mom and I started playing a piano duet together. I was practicing one part when my mom spontaneously came over, helped me with my part and then began playing the other. Being the last of 6 kids it was hard to get attention but that small moment showed me that my mom loved me and was interested in what I was doing. That must have been over ten years ago but I just love that memory and the small moments like that that we have shared over the years that have taught me that those small seemingly insignificant moments can make a difference in letting loved ones know you care. 🙂
My mother used to be a singer when she was younger, she always sang a song to me and my sister before we went to bed. When I got my wisdom teeth out this year she sang the same song to me when the pain medication made me sick. I know I’ll sing that song to my children. <3 my mommy
My favorite memmory of my mom is the way her face and eyes were glistening the day I graduated with my Masters degree. I have never seen her smile so much and be so proud. My mom worked hard as a single mother of 4 to raise us, and push us to be better. She inspires me everyday to be more than I can be. Her strength is more than enough motivation to succeed. And although I am the first and only member of my family with a Masters degree she posseses more knowledge and smarts than anyone I know. Kuddos to you mom, for being amazing and a true role model.
I remember my mom always being available when I needed her. She’s my mom, dad, and my best friend. Life hasn’t always been fair to my mother, but she’s always survived through whatever trial comes her way.
My mom has never been the best with emotions but I can remember when my father left and changed the house locks on us and we had to stay with my aunt because we had nowhere else to live… This was the day before valentines day. The next day me and my little sister came home and my mother must have felt so bad for us because she had two big valentines day bears on the bed for us and a BUNCH if candy all over the bed in the shape of a heart… We didn’t have much so this was so exciting for me and my sister. We went into our little piggy bank and came up with 3dollars to buy her a rose at the flower shop down the street… She was so touched that she didn’t even yell when she realized that we left the house and crossed the street by ourselves lol.
When I was 13 my mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and slowly I have watched it take over her body, yet my mom never fails to be there. My favorite memories with her are when I come home after being at school for months and just laying together watching countless movies and shows. We have the best conversations and she has grown to be my best friend.
I learned that it is not always the big things you get to share with people, but the little moments that truly count.
Favorite memory involving my mom and I would be last Christmas. With her being a single parent she never really gets much. However this year I asked for money and got my first job. I used that money and I took my mom to her favorite store and bought her outfits for work. Even though that took away from me, it was all worth it because I got to see her smile. It felt good to give back to her.
My favorite memory of my mother and I would be the timed she struggled as a single mother , just to buy me this matching jean outfit for picture day, I absolutely loved it and wore it often. I’m grateful for her because if she had it or didn’t have it my sister and I were always matching fashionista on a budget.
I can’t pinpoint one memory that is my favorite with my mom because honestly all of my memories have been so great. She has been the rock for our family through all of the good and bad. She is who I strive to be and can only hope that through her guidance and lessons I will be half the woman that she is. She truly is my best friend and I would not trade that for the world. As I have grown older and had my own “struggles” and obstacles in my life her advice and guidance has gotten me through everything.
My favorite memory I have with my mom is from when I was a lot younger. Every Friday we would either have Mcdonald’s or pizza for dinner, and we would have a “picnic.” My mom, me, and my brother would put a blanket on the living room floor and eat on the floor there. I don’t know why, but it was always so much fun.
My favorite memory of my mother sticks with me until this day. I was about 12 (I’m her only child, so I am/was a spoiled brat). I wanted to go shopping & she told me not this week because she couldn’t afford it. I told her it was pay week & that she could afford it… So in turn she gave me her whole paycheck & told me to pay the bills & I could have what was left… After bills, I had about $30 left, which she took for gas… I can’t wait until I can teach my daughter this 😉
I don’t have a favorite memory per say, but I do remember the comfort and love she brought to me. She’s my human security blanket.
My favorite memory with my mother is that of my college graduation from the University of California, Berkeley. The ceremony I participated in allowed for parents to walk down with you and accept your diploma together. This had tons of significance for me because not only did my mother not have the privilege of receiving an education, but my dad, her best friend had suffered a heart attack the week prior to my graduation. I knew she felt conflicted as to whether she should stay back with my dad or walk with me that night and as the amazing mother that she is, she walked with me that night. The conversations we shared and the memories we created that night is something I will remember for the rest of life.
My most favorite memory of my mother was watching her work hard in order to provide my siblings and I, a better future. I remember her working 60-80 hours a week just for her to save enough money to buy us a new house in a better neighborhood. During the time she saved money my mother had to live with my sister having to move away, my brother getting stabbed, and my younger brother getting beat up by a gang. I never saw a woman work so hard to raise her kids away from the streets. My mother did it all on top of caring for her own siblings and parents. Before Superman and other superheros came out on TV, my mother was and will always be OUR FIRST HERO!
I don’t know my birth mother, I was adopted at the age of 7-14. Though my relationship was quite strained growing up with my adopted mother I do appreciate tremendously the home cooked meals she made everyday. It was her way to show love through cooking and eating healthy. It is something I look forward to as an adult when I visit her.
A great memory with my mother was when one time I was waiting on her to get ready and beautiful (as always) so we could go out. when she finally came downstairs (obviously looking amazing) i asked why she had taken so long and she replied with a huge smile ” oh sorry i was straightening my hair” ahaha this was a joke my mother often used. it was a joke because my mother had breast cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. She obviously had no hair to straighten but always managed to be the most beautiful woman on earth. i love her dearly and admire her strength to overcome her challenges with a great sense of humour and a smile that has lightened up my life since birth. Since i can remember she was always dressed her best with her make up and nails always done. I wish her the greatest Mother’s Day 🙂
There are thousands of great memories with my mother but the most important memory that I have with her was when I was young and when I still remember my heart breaks into tears. She has work hard all her life since I was young she was always so busy working because she wanted to give us a good financial life to my brother and I so we could go to better schools. There was one day I got very sick and I waited for her all day to come because she was still working finally she arrived earlier in the afternoon to help me she took me to the hospital at night with my dad and my brother I never thought I was gonna end up at the hospital that night I was scared to stay at the hospital I was just a little girl and I didn’t wanted to stay alone so I softly asked my mother If she was going to stay with me? and quickly I say please don’t leave me here alone and she immediately took my hand and say of course my dear, of course I will stay with you How can you believe I could leave you here alone? And tears went down my cheeks with a big smile on my face as well she smile and drop a few tears but stayed strong in front of my eyes. After 2 days later, doctors couldn’t find what was happening to me and I was only seeing my mom and my family taking care of me all the time in every single aspect then the critical moment came because a fearful feeling arrived through my head and deep in my heart I could feel I was dying. I was gonna die, that my time arrived How could I knew? I don’t know I just felt it in the moment when I seeing my family there in the room taking care of me and trying to make me happy specially my mom as she was standing right beside me that night. I was so thankful with the sky I could spend a few days with her even though I had no more strength and my health was decaying so I closed my eyes that night I took my mother’s hand back again and I said to the sky, thank you for these 3 days I spent with my family and my mother who didn’t left me alone not even one second. I accepted the fact that if the sky wanted to take me now I was gonna be ready before asking the sky my two last petitions. I said to the sky, please take good care of my family and my mother don’t let them cry too much for me when I’m gone with you and please remove their fear to loose me and my fear to go away. I trust you. Now I’m ready. Then I felt asleep until 5:30 am doctors who stayed awake all night trying to figure it out what was wrong with me came running to my room pushing the door so fast that it could almost fell down and quickly took me to the surgery room and my mom running in the hallway I heard my mom voice far away from the hallway while the nurses where taking me to the surgery room she said Everything it’s gonna be okay! believe and pray to God I’ll be praying as well! and when I opened my eyes she was there looking at me smiling and wanting to hug me. That’s my best and favorite memory I have with her. Life gave me a second chance to live and have more thousands of great memories with her! 🙂
Thank you for letting me share this beautiful memory of my life with all of you here.
My favorite memory with my mom took place the night before I left for college. Earlier in the summer, I had won two movie theater tickets from my work. So I decided to use the tickets to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 with my mom the night before I left (we both loved the book series). The movie could not have been more perfect, as the plot focuses on the perseverance of love and friendship, even if two people are not within arms’ reach. Once we arrived home, I started to cry in our driveway, not only because I was leaving home, but because the movie made me realize how much I love my mom. We cried in each other’s arms for about 10 minutes and she reassured me that everything would be okay, that it would all just be new and a little scary. Since then, I have graduated from college and see her even less, but the phone calls happen more and more and my mom has become my best friend. I always think back to that night, where I realized how great she truly is, and how much I love her!
My favorite memory with my mom is when she showed me tha I was not alone. Last year, for the first time in my life(so it seemed)I couldn’t handle everything I had going on, I kept messing things up. Between school, dance, a boyfriend, and responsibilities elsewhere, I felt like my life was spinning out of control. For a while, I kept it all hidden, but once everything came to light my mom was quick to remind me that God gave me a family, and friends to help me juggle the business of life. She hugged me and let me cry for a while, but told me she was always available to help me and I did not have to try and be perfect all on my own. I may not like that I made my first ‘B’ ever, but I am thankful that I learned how much she wants to help me and that she is always there for me.
My favorite memory with my mom was when I was preparing for my 15th birthday – Quinceanera – photoshoot. I remember that while my mom helped me put on my ball-gown she looked at me with teary eyes because she noticed that her little girl had grown into a beautiful young woman. And at that moment I also became nostalgic thinking that I was as beautiful as my lovely mother.
My favorite memory of my mom was in my sophomore year of college. I had been kicked out of school so there was un-eligible for financial aid. My mom took her entire savings and bought me books and paid my tuition for that semester at the community college. The next semester I was re-enrolled in my university and even graduated early last fall from it. That was so selfless and such a huge sacrifice to make. I love my mom for believing and me and financing me even though I made that mistake, she is so amazing.
My favorite memories with my mom are from traveling Kenya and Tanzania with her. We got so close on that trip and have been ever since. Now that I have my own daughter, I really realize how special that bond can be.
The best memory of my mom and I would have to be when my dad passed away. I would of never thought something so tragic could bring us together. My dads death was the darkest part of my life and I’m so thankful to have my mom by my side each step of the way. I will always cherish the good and bad in life. She is such a strong independent woman and I love her to the moon and back. I would do anything for her. My mom is my strength and rock.
My mom is relatively young and I always thought she was so hip compared to my friends’ moms. I have a memory of her bringing home the Alanis Morrisette CD when I was in middle school and we put it on full blast and danced around the living room head banging and singing into microphones for hours. It’s one of my favorite memories with her. She and I still act silly and play around all the time; it’s one of many reasons we are so close. <3
My mother is quite the character. A stay at home mom with 7 kids, a grandson, and a dog — I don’t know how she is sane.
When I was younger she would spend hours in her crafty sewing room whipping up Halloween costumes for the entire family. A kangaroo, a gypsy, Frankenstein, Wednesday (from the Adams family) — you name it, she could make it. My mother, being the creative, crazy, Halloween lover that she is, made one Halloween costume that I will never forget.
She dressed up as a 60’s go-go dancer. But not a little bit. She didn’t just create a colorful dress with knee-high boots on and call it a day. She practically BECAME a go-go dancer. It seemed like Mom was hell bent on winning some kind of imaginary award when it came to Halloween costumes. She put together this sparkle hoochie disco dress, white 6-inch platform boots, a blonde curly wig, peace sign sunglasses, and the best part was the Boston-Hippie accent she developed. For weeks she ran around calling herself “Candy” and saying things were “groovy” or “right on”.
So during my sophomore year of high school, I called my mom to pick up a friend and I after school, and sure enough she showed up dressed head-to-toe as Candy leaning out the car window yelling, “Woo hoo! Jessi, baby, over here!”
I. Was. Mortified.
At first, I pretended not to notice her. I was heading back into the building when she threatened to “hop out and say hey to all of your friends!”
Oh. My. Gosh.
Mind you, the entire school was outside, so you can imagine my face turning BEAT red. I knew there was no way around this unless we wanted to walk home. I almost cried. I turned to my friend Molly and mouthed the words “I am SO sorry” as I led her towards the car with the mentally deranged woman hollering out her window at us.
Looking back on that day, it was epic. I hope that someday I can give my kids the same humorous love that my mother shows me. In the meantime, I look up to her for being so comfortable in her own skin that she would dress up in a crazy costume and take it to a level that most parents couldn’t. That’s my mom for you.
There are only a few, eccentric, extreme mothers like her, and I’m lucky enough to have gotten one. 🙂
If there is one thing that I remember from my childhood is my mother making sure I ate 20 times a day, which was probably the reason I was such a chubby little girl. But, all of those memories started to fade away when my mother got a visa to come to the US. My father and her both worked day and night to provide us with a better future. But, it was hard growing up without a parent. Then after 5 years, my sister and I finally got the visa to come to the US after numerous rejections from the US embassy, even after my father’s passing. As my sister and I both walked towards the arrival gates, out of the million faces, I saw her. I saw her eyes lit up excitement and tears and without thinking about anything, my sister and I both rushed into her arms with tears rolling down our cheeks. It was the moment I will never forget because that was when I heard the most precious words again, “Have you eaten anything?.”
When I was in kindergarten my mom would come to my school to walk me home, and on hot summer days she would show up with a giant red umbrella to block out the summer sun. My schoolmates would grin at me and people on the streets would stare at us. I remember feeling so ashamed and embarrassed all the way home until that umbrella was shut away in the closet. I now look back fondly because I absolutely love her quirkiness.
I remember when I was in the hospital my mother would stay with me every night. One time I had to go to a different hospital in Boston and I missed a lot of school. So I had a lot of homework and she used to help me do it. I remember reading the book Letters From Rifca with her. Also after homework we would sit ad play apples to apples moncala and monopoly (the Disney version) until it was time for me to take my night medicine and go to bed.
There are so many different memory’s with my mother and I. We share such a close bond together that could never be broken, my mother is the light to my path and everything I want to be. We share many loving and happy memory’s together. I think one of my biggest memory’s with my mother is the love we share with our horses. I remember when I was little, about seven years old and is was Easter morning. My parents decided to take me on a bike ride down the road. Mysteriously there where these pink arrows on all the telephone poles we just happened to decide to follow! And of course I was so excited but didn’t have a clue what was going on! They led down the road and went into the equestrian barn a few blocks away from my house. We bikes in and this lady walked this gorgeous arabian pony out of the barn covered in pink ribbons and bows all tied up in his hair. my mother had bought me a pony for easter! his name was “pride” and he was the sweetest fattest boy in the world.Me and my mother have gone on many rides together down the river under the beautiful sun and trees. After having my pony for 15 years he grew to be very old. My mother was there for me when I had too put my beloved pony down two years ago, she was by my side the whole time. I think when I got that pony thy was the best moment I have ha with my mother. She was so excited to give him to me and I loved him and her with all my heart. My mother is amazing and is alway there for me. She is all I could ever ask for. The bet mother in the world I love her dearly forever and always!
Xoxo love you momma<3
My mother, my lifeline and my world is my grandma, she took care of me all my life until cancer happened. I am in the US studying so it was a very hard time, and when I returned home, the airplane landing was different, the ride home was different, I was mentally preparing for the worst. I spent a month and a half taking care of her, changing diapers, cooking, cleaning, and though she could not speak much due to pain, I knew she was grateful. She slept night and day, and 1 night while she slept, I grabbed a bible, prayed and sung for her, all I heard was her humming, she could not sing but she joined in how she could. When I was done, she said “thanks my grandchild, I am leaving, I am going away, somewhere far away but I will always be with you, never to forsake you”. I will never forget that moment, a week later I left, she died soon after, I missed a few classes when I went back and dropped out the nursing program. However, I carry the memories with me and I am almost done with my degree, it was her desire and I will fulfill it, later on, I will get back to nursing but now I will settle with Medical Technology. Love you mama!!!!! <3
For 25 years, my mother was a Neonatal Intensive Care Until nurse. As you can imagine, she had a very sad and hard job. Despite her exhaustion, she came to every one of my gymnastics practices (which were three times a week). Every Friday after class, she took me to Monterrey House to grub down on some good ole Tex Mex. It was always just the two of us, and we never missed a Friday. I’m 26 now, and recently we went there on a lunch date and I felt like I was 10 again just sitting there laughing, talking and enjoying each other’s company. I wouldn’t change my mom for the world and I can’t imagine a life without her.
My favorite memory I have with my mother happened the day I told her I was pregnant. I was only 19 and in college and my mother hugged me and told me that were going to have this baby and that I’m going to graduate college if she has anything to do about it. She taught me the infinite love of a mother and I hope to be half the mother she is. I’m graduating college next week all because of my amazing mother.
One special memory is hard to choose because I was blessed with such an amazing mom. She is not only an amazing mother but she has also become one of my best friends as I have grown older. One special memory I have with my mother is planning my wedding with her this year. I am getting married next summer and she has been such a support system through all the planning.We don’t have much money to spend on it but she has really helped me brainstorm and think of unique ideas for my special day. I am very excited and so very thankful for my mother this Mother’s Day.
I remember when I was 14 years old and there’s a neckelus where when your daughter is 14 you give it to her to keep the tradition flowing. So it was my birthday and I woke up feeling terrible , so I got up and woke up to breakfast in before from my mommy , we didn’t have much but we always made it work . So after we had a girls day out just me and my mom . We got home very late ,so we went to sleep next day I woke up to a beautiful gold chain with a matching bracelet and beside it was a note that said I love you .
One of the best memories I have with my mom is when I was moving out to my own apartment in DC. I needed EVERYTHING! From a bed to a couch. While my Mom was very willing to just GIVE ME all the things I needed to make sure I was ready to be all on my own for the first time, my Dad was not as willing. So long story short I thought for months that I was going to be living in a sad empty apartment with maybe a mattress that I could scrape up money for until the day I was moving out. All of a sudden I had a bed, a couch, a small dining table…everything I needed and more. My parents have always taught me to figure things out for myself and fix my problems. I had come up with a 3-6 month plan of how I was going to save up and buy all my necessities. I even told my Mother about this plan =]. All while she had plans of her own to take care of her baby girl. I love my Mother for always teaching me that I need to be an independent woman but also reminding me that she will always be there for me. I LOVE YOU MOM!
One of my favorite memories with my mom has not happened yet, but I already know what it will be. I graduate this year and my friends are part of the party crew and that’s just not what I like to do. So I started to think what else I could for senior trip other than be ridiculous and party with my friends. I decided that I wanted to go on a cruise with my mom because she is ultimately my best friend and she has always been there for me. We have one more month until our cruise and I am beyond excited to share my senior trip with my mom. When I hear her telling people about it I can tell she feels so honored that I asked to go with her instead of go and party with friends. So my favorite memory hasn’t happened yet, but I already know that this trip will be my favorite memory with my mom.
I threw a party for my mom’s 50th birthday. She couldn’t stop crying when she blew out the candles on her cake. I hugged her for a good 5 minutes. She deserves the best. Love you mom!
It would be wrong to say that my mom is the most perfect mom out there but she is mine and I wouldn’t change her for the world. My favorite memory that I have with my mom is when she flew to my college, last minute, for my birthday my freshman year. I was having a really tough time making friends and had just gotten out of a three year relationship but my mom came to the rescue. We didn’t do much, just went to dinner and did a little shopping (what we do best) but it was the best birthday I’ve ever had. She has taught me to be kind, to have compassion for others, and to be passionate about everything I do. She is the most giving woman I know.
My greatest memory was when I was young I always enjoyed entering the talent show. Now I look back at the videos and the pictures and I laugh because I had no talent but my mom always gave me the confidence to go for it and I always felt that I was great so it helped me to be persistent and never give up.
xoxo,
Xime !
My fave moment with my mom was when she was there the very first moment I became a mom 🙂
My favorite memories of my mom were watching her get ready everyday. She always had the best style and managed to look effortlessly chic even with twin daughters and a son hanging onto her. She always took great care of herself- exercising regularly and even including us in her workouts. Our weekends were spent tooling around on our bikes or hiking through the local hills. Every single night she made us dinner in between her two jobs because she wanted to instill in us the importance of a good diet and healthy lifestyle. To this day, I think of my mom when I want to just leave the house in my gym clothes. Instead, I take a minute to throw on my jeans and add a scarf or a necklace to look at least a little more put together. And I give all credit to my mom for instilling a healthy lifestyle within me. No take out foods for my kids either!!
My favorite memory of my mother and I are definitely our soccer memories. My mom traveled around the country with me for tournaments and games! Each time we had a new experience but our favorite tournament was in St. Louis. We were the ultimate tourist, we traveled to the richest to the worst parts of St. Louis! We had so much fun on that road trip!
Mom taught me to sew at a very early age so I could have the wardrobe of my dreams. It was so much fun leaarning and designing with her.
My mother battled breast cancer for 7 brave years and watching her go through that was a true testament to the kind of courage a woman can have. But I think the most touching lesson I learned from her was about compassion and motherhood. In her final days, she was mostly bed ridden but in my Indian culture a Spring festival (Holi) was approaching. She wanted my new sister in law and I to have special new clothes for the occasion and insisted that she would take us shopping. Equipped with a wheelchair and a credit card, we spent the whole day at the mall shopping and eating complete junk food. She bought us both complete new outfits, shoes, makeup and all. When we arrived home, I knew she was utterly exhausted, but when I complained of a mild headache, she insisted I lie in her lap so she could press my head. It’s been 6 years since that day, but I can still feel her warm hands and unconditional love.
My favorite memory with my mother has to be from about 3 months ago. Me and my mother were never really close like we are now and I think this memory has a lot to do with it. About 3 months ago I and out to my mother about liking women and about how school wasn’t fulfilling my passion I wanted to act or dance those 2 things filled my passion I mean I just laid EVERYTHING I was holding back into her I was snot nosed crying just having a huge breakdown I was scared she would disown me and hate me but instead she held me into her arms kissed me and said she supported me no matter what, prayed over me and just let me cry until I couldn’t cry anymore. That moment really showed me the true love a mother will have for their child and we gave better relationship than we used to ALOT better lol and well this is my favorite memory the day my mother accepted me for who I truly am
The best memory with my mother is It was summer of 2008 my mother and I were in the house cleaning and my mother said one thing I will never forget “I am soo proud of you”. It touch my heart and I wish my mother was here to say the words to me again.
My favorite memory of my mom is when in first grade, we had a crazy hat contest. I went to bed nervous about not having anything suitable to work with. When I woke up I found a bowl hat completely studded with every kind of rhinestone and ribbon my mother could find. It was a crazy ugly hat for sure! However I remember being so happy because my working mom was not very crafty and she totally came through for me on that one!
She was 15 years old when her dad passed away. Two months later her brother died in a car crash due to a drunk driver. She was left with her three older brothers and my grandma. She grieved and dealt with her own sadness but the biggest thing my mom did was find her strength. Her strength to find the happiness in life when things can be so ugly, the strength to get out of bed everyday and realize that she was the one that determined her future, and most of all, the strength to help her mother. If there is anything my mom has taught me, it’s how to be a good daughter. My grandma never remarried. Thirty-three years she has been a widow, and my mom is the best daughter to my grandma. I more than admire my mom and hope that I can be even half the daughter that she is.
One of my favorite memories of my mother is when I gave birth to my first child. I had been in labor for a full 24 hours and was completely exhausted when my son finally decided to come out. I felt extremely drained as I cursed and yelled, giving up pushing. On my last push/contraction my mom ran behind me, pushed me from behind my shoulders which kind of curled me up over my pelvis and as I screamed bloody murder my son was born! I thank her to this very day because I know I wouldn’t have made it through that experience without her. She was there every step of the way, even when his dad was stiff with shock and the physician “stepped out” to answer a page. She completely took over and handled the situation like a pro 🙂
One of my favourite memories of my mom and I is when we use to go flower shopping in the spring. Every year, we would go with her to the greenhouse near by and my sister and I as little girls, dressed in our cute flowery dresses, we would go pick out this years flowers for our home. My mom would let us pick all of our favourite flowers and plants, even though she might not of liked them. The smell in there was devine, the colours were gorgeous and most of all we were all in our happy place. We couldnt wait to go home and plant them all! We still do this tradition to this day, and I am 22 years old. I’ll never forget our girls days at the greenhouse!
my favourite memory of my mom was when my first love dumped me and my mom stayed up with me until 6 in the morning watching movies and talking…that was the moment she became my bestfriend <3
My Mom is so kindhearted. Every Sunday we have Sunday dinner and she does it up big time! She always cooks the best food for my family (myself, Husband and two kids) She evern lets my rambunctious 3 year old daughter help with the food prep, and believe me that requires a lot of patience. I admire her very much.
My greatest memories of my mother were always at the beach. We would make the two hour drive to the coast and leave everything else behind. Those were the best days where we we shop, lay out in the sun and walk along the beach taking pictures. My mom is the reason I got into photography, especially those picturesque beach sunsets. My other strongest memories of my mother are every time she made a sacrifice for me, she has done so much for me and is always there when I need her, thank you moms!
My favorite memory of my mom is when she would take me back-to-school shopping every year as a kid. She would put up with my newest obsession ever year, whether I wanted to rock a preppy look or an edgy vibe–and let me tell you, I went through all of those phases. Laughing over ill-fitting outfits and getting excited over the ones that work was a fun bonding experience for the both of us. I still send her pictures of my clothes while I am away at college for her opinion. Mom always knows best!
All of my memories with my mom are great! My favorite one though, was when my twin sister and I got into my moms red lipstick. We were little, and after covering ourselves with it, we covered the floors and the walls as well. My mom came in the house scared to death because she saw red footprints down the hallway, but when she found out what we had done, she couldn’t stop laughing. She took tons of pictures before she actually started cleaning the lipstick up. My mom is so understanding and amazing in every way. She loves her kids more than anything.
One of my many favourite memories with my mother would have to be our trip back home to Syria. Through my mom I was able to connect with my family members living there that, without her, I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. She connected me with my roots and truly gave me a life-changing experience. Love you mom!
The fondest memories of my mother are the memories we both make and share together while baking. Baking has been our tradition since her great-great grandmother and she now passes that unto me. Baking gives us the opportunity to bond like mother and daughter and talk just about anything (while not mistaking measurements, of course). My mom will always be my mom, and now I can say that in the future, if I decide to have children, I hope to share those cherished moments that will be a lifetime of fulfillment’s for them as well as for myself. Baking is great, and so are Moms!!!
I love my mom no doubt! I’m a 16 year old young women so you know we have out times, but nothing can get in between us! My favorite memmory with my mom is….. I would have to say…. Well we have so many! Every time we do things together we take pictures to, so yes we are very fashion forward. I can’t think of a time that was better than the other because I never really focused on that part, but everyday I spend with my mom gets better and better. I love you mom!!
I can remember my favorite moment with my mom like it was yesterday. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of 2012. We had a family trip to Disney World scheduled that July (my husband and I, our daughter, my grandparents, and my mom and dad), and despite how horrible she felt due to going through chemo treatments, she was a trooper and made it to one theme park with us, Epcot. My mom, my 4 year old daughter, and I were just walking slowly through the country pavilions while the men were all off riding Mission Space, and then we heard a steel drum band playing nearby. Before I knew it, my 4 year old broke free from our hands and started smiling mouse ear to mouse ear, arms spread wide open, and began twirling in a circle. I have a few pictures I wish I could post to show you. It’s the memory that will stay with me forever. To me, in that moment, my mom wasn’t sick, we were in the happiest place on Earth, I was with my mom, and my daughter, and it was like time stood still. While watching my daughter smile and spin, I looked over at my mom who was laughing so hard she was crying just watching my 4 year old.
I cannot pick a favorite memory of my momma! She has always been there for me when ever i needed and as i grow up i am only getting closer to her!
Love ya Momma!!
I had many wonderful memories with my mom, my favorite memory was cooking with her because my mom was all about cooking and teaching her own children. Every time I saw my mom cook, she would look to me with a loving smile and telling me when winning a man’s heart is through his stomach. Sometimes I wish I could see her cooking for us again. But I think the best memories I had with my mom was when she was smiling and laughing. Love you forever in my heart mom <3
“A lady should always look her best.” Each Saturday morning, we would all go shopping (mom, younger sister and me). I became a mother when I was sixteen, but the Saturday morning ritual didn’t stop. I would dress my daughter and the four of us would make our way to the local malls, shops ( Woolworht’s, Goldmsmith’s, Zayre) and grocery stores. Years later my sister had her first child and the five of us would shop until we were pooped. Two more girls were added to our little clan and we’d all load up for our Saturday outings.
As the years went by, my sister and I moved out on our own. However, we would all go shopping some Saturday mornings. Mom didn’t want to go as often, but we’d always call her to see if she just wanted to ride and get out the house.
Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer in 2006 and we didn’t shop as much, but we’d sit around on and talk about the fun we had on Saturdays. When asked, “why did we go shopping every Saturday?” Our mom told us, “I wanted my children and grandchildren to have some things that I never did. Anyway, no matter what was going on a lady should always look her best”.
December 2007 mom lost the battle with breast cancer, but we laid her to rest “looking her best”.
My favorite memory of my mom is the day she helped me deliver my baby, we were in the hospital and i was in pain (i did it natural), crazy crazy pain but anyways she was just there for me when i needed her, just simply being there, her presence, her reassurance. I delivered a healthy baby, but having my mom there and of course seeing her carry my baby :’) Love my mommy, she’s my rock.
I will always remember my mom as a devoted mother. She would always take time out of her day, even after a long day at work, to bring me and my brother out of the house when we were little. She would walk with us everywhere in town, to the local park and even McDonald’s. She would just sit for hours watching us play. Not only did it make me and my brother happy, but it gave her a sense of enjoyment as well seeing her kids grow up.
My mother and I were lucky enough to be able to drive across the country together. I had plans to move to California and she was going to drive me out there… We packed up the car, put on our Fiest CD and hit the road. Never in my mind did I imagine how incredibly close this trip would bring us! 3 days of laughter, deep talks, fights, smiles and tears, by the time we got there I didn’t want her to leave. She had become my best friend out of nowhere’ as she got me settled into my new place I joked about her staying with me. As a single divorced women with all of her children grown, she didnt have a ton of commitments back in Michigan, but I knew she wouldn’t stay (as much I really wanted her to) On the night before she left, she took me grocery shopping to fill up my fridge, we were sitting outside of Whole Foods when suddenly my mother tells me she wants to stay! I couldnt believe it! she had been taking care of 4 kids the past 25 years and to her California could now be a time for her to take care of her! i was so thrilled!
The day my daughter was being born I was told not to have ANYTHING by mouth because I was going to be getting a spinal and right for my c-section. My Mom, sitting next to a nine month pregnant chick, decides to pull out a a chocolate chip cookie she just bought from the cafeteria. After a few seconds of arguing and carrying on, I finally got my cookie I so desperatly craved for! Right in the middle of eating it, there was a knock at the door and a big recus outside that the “OR team was ready” and “we need to do this spinal now!!” I quick threw my cookie at my Mom, not even watching where I aimed it… It bounced off a wall and landed on the floor across the room. The door opened and the Anestelogosist yelled “Alright Girls, ready to get this party started!?” All me and my mother could do is just look at each other and laugh. That was a memory I will always remember of me and my mother!
After my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and getting ready to start chemotherapy, she sold raffle tickets at her work and to close friends and family members that the winner would be able to shave her head. The money from the tickets went towards a wig for her. Watching the winner scaredly shave her head as she sat in the chair very bravely was a very proud memory for me. It showed me how beautiful and strong that women, that I may have taken advantage of too many times, truly was and is.
This might not be a moment I remember but my mom and I always talk about it and brings emotional feelings. After my mom got pregnant with me she started having heart problems and the doctor had told her that it was going to be very difficult for me to be born and the day she went into labor they let her know that only one of us was going to come out alive. She told my dad If the doctor had to make a choice she wanted me to be alive and my dad wanted my mom alive because he knew he wouldn’t be able to live without her. We both made it we are both healthy and I couldn’t ask for a more amazing mother.
My favourite memory of my mom and I is when I was little and just before bed we would cuddle and she would stroke my hair while doing her newspaper crossword puzzle. I can still remember helping her pick out words, and how the faint smell of her perfume still lingered on her clothes. It’s the little moments like that which have become my favourite memories of her. Unfortunately she passed away from cancer when I was young as well, so now my dad has had to become Mr. Mom, and he’s been a doing a fine job, but no one can replace the love between you and your mom.
My mother raised my older sister, little brother and I for 10 years as a single mom, as if that wasn’t hard enough it was even harder for us to tell us ‘no’. Christmas, birthdays, Easter, she never let us do without. Now that I’m older and living on my own I truly understand how hard that must have been on her. Keeping up with the rent, a car note, making sure we had everything we needed for school, all the latest clothes and shoes, she made everyday as special as we could have imagined, and all without ever letting us see her sweat. She truly is the strongest woman I know, all without ever needing a pat on the back or praise for all that she did and to this day continues to do. Even to this day, now that I’m grown and have been living on my own for years, she still insists on coming to my house to help with my laundry or clean my house, all while maintaining her own. My youngest brother is autistic and she never once felt sorry for herself, she calls him her blessing from above, and considers herself the most blessed person alive, little does she know, we’re the ones who are blessed to have her.
My momma is one Haute Momma simply because she is always there for me whenever I need her and also because at 5 years old I wanted to learn how to water ski and my dad said no, but instead she hoped in the water with me and got me up my very first try! Best Mamacita EVER!!!! Did I mention she is AMAZING! <3
I was 25.I moved to America,and i left my mom in europe.it was so hard both of us!After one year she came to visit me.I just couldnt wait to see her again.When he arrived i runed to her arms.I cried just like a kid and couldnt stop squeez her,smelling her.I was kid again in my mom hug. 🙂
My mom passed when I was 16 but what I didnt have in time, I had in quality. My fav memory of my mom is of her dancing to intros to shows like magnum pi and different strokes. Although she struggled with illness that didnt stop her from having a good time and a carefree attitude. This is what I remind myself when I am taking life too seriously.
my favorite memory of my mother is of her in the kitchen! she canned made homemade everything baked! there was always something good coming out of the kitchen!we would come home from school often to find home made cookies and cakes and a beautiful dinner prepared for us !
whenever my mommy and i are together laughing is my favorite memory
MY greatest memory of my mom and I , is our trip we took together to Florida last april! we had 3 days on a tight budget but we made the best of it, we learned so much about each other and got to spend quality time at the beach. definitely a trip we will never forget!
My Mom was an amazing woman. She was more than my mother but my best friend. She passed away unexpectedly when I was 18 from a brain aneurism. All of the memories I have with her are so precious to me, but one stands out. I used to play softball and I would always ask her to come to the games. She was always busy with being the amazing mom she was taking care of not only the errands around the house but also with my two brothers. The rival game was coming up and as a team bonding event we made noise makes for fans at the game. I made my special for my mom and asked her to come. She told me she didn’t know if she could but she would try. It was the first inning and I didn’t see Mom in the stands. I was about to pitch to my second batter when I here, “Come on Marissa!” There my Mom is shaking the noise maker I made for her. I was so surprised and so elated to see her! My mom was an amazing woman and an amazing Mom.
My favorite memories of my mom were when she’d come visit me at school. I went to a relatively boring town for school, which has resulted in the rest of my family refusing to come visit me because they would have “nothing to do”. However, my mom has ventured to visit me several times and we’d have fun cooking together and sharing recipes!
Going to London with my mom! The food, the tours, the shopping. There is no one better to shop with than with your mom. We visited Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. We took a road trip to the cliffs of Dover and had fish and chips. We explored Oxford st, more than once. Overall, it was an incredible trip that I wouldn’t have done with anyone else.
The best and greatest memory I have with my mother is when every day i spend in an hour in the evening talking about my day at school or other problems i have we both watch the novelas or animal planet i love it
My favorite memory of my mom is when I saw her dancing at a wedding party a couple of years ago. She was so happy and it made me smile to see her having such a good time. My mother works very hard, and usually comes home after work to rest or work on paper work. so to see her just letting go, being comfortable in her own skin, and truly happy is the best! I also learned where I got my love of dancing from 🙂
My favorite memories of my mom are her taking me & my 5 sisters & bros to the drive-ins. Wearing are jammies and bringing a huge bag of popcorn. Those were the best.
The greatest memory with my Mommie is on my wedding day. She was with me all day helping me to get ready for what she called “the day I’d get my crown”. I am her princess and always will be. She said there was no better day than they I was born and now giving me away to a great man was indescribable”. She held my hand to the last second and told me to be happy always and to know her love will never change. 🙂
I LOVE my angel mother!!!
My mom and I aren’t very close, but we’re cordial. As I get older I see parts of her coming out in me, especially the part where she makes up silly songs while doing things around the house.
One of my earliest and fondest memories is mopping the kitchen floor with her. Her way of getting me to help was singing Sesame Street’s “Cooperation Makes It Happen”. I must’ve been very young because she’s so tall in my memory! We’re smiling and laughing and singing and making up lyrics together…there wasn’t much of that between us over the years but that moment lives with me forever. I think of it every time I mop my floors and catch myself making up silly songs.
Thanks mom!
My entire family is really tall, so I never wanted to wear heels to school dances and events because I hated that I towered over everyone else. When it was time to shop for a dress and shoes for my 8th grade dance, I couldn’t find any flats that I liked. My mom convinced me to get beautiful heels and I loved wearing them. Now, I’m not afraid to show off my height. Thanks, Mom!
My favorite memory with my mom was when my sister had finally left to college and me and my mom went shopping. My mom and my sister had always been the close ones so we never really tried hanging out until my sister had left. I remember just being 15 and trying to impress my mom by hoeing off how well I was performing in school and how I was trying to pick up extra curricular activities. I remember staring out of the window blankly, trying to remember everything impressive that I possibly could, hoping, I guess, that my mom would see that she still had an amazing daughter at home. Looking back I guess I was just trying to convince myself. Anyways, as I finished off my résumé (lol) she didn’t say anything at first and then she just said “I know how good you’ve been doing and I’m so proud of you! Why else do you think we’re going on this shopping spree? I ain’t got money to waste!” We of course laughed and I remember thinking that even though me and my mom may never be as close as she is with my sister, she’ll always be there for me. And for that, I will always love her! Happy Mother’s Day! 🙂
My favorite memory with my mom is everytime I get to see her. Whenever we are together something hilarious or memorable always happens.. She’s a class act and has raised me to have grace in all I do! She is amazing!
My favorite memory of my “meem” is when we used to do workouts together in my apartment livingroom to workout videos. She would come over after she gets off work, put some work out clothes on and we would pick a workout video to work out to. The one that made us laugh the most was a Kim Kardasian workout tape. It was one of my favorites because we would always laugh at how big Kim’s ass looked in the workout pants that she was wearing. Every angle that the camera shot of her butt led to both of us saying “dayam thats a big ayyyass!” Not only was her butt a comedic twist to a work out routine, but we also made fun of the fact that Kim, while doing the work out with her trainer, would make this blank open mouth stare into the camera and say “don’t forget to breathe, its really important that you breathe!” I mean come on! As if people somehow forget to breathe while watching her do this routine. Although I admit I did feel a little less intellegent watching her blankly stare at us with an almost puzzled expression during the entire workout video, but this line has stuck with every one of our workout routines since. Whenever we get together to work out I always make a point to look at my mom with the blank Kim Kardasian open mouth stare and say; “don’t forget to breathe!” This always creates the perfect mood for a good workout session and we always make eachother laugh trying to mimic Kim’s posture or her blank expressions. My “meem” truly is the most important person in the world because all the memories we make together are remembered in the silliest ways possible.
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
I have so many great ones but one of the best was when my mom was sick. She had over 30 tumors on her brain and had been in the hospital for more than a month when my 22nd birthday came around. I was planning on ignoring it, but my mom orchestrated a party for me. She had my sister order my favorite pizza and decorate the hospital room with tons of my favorite flowers. She sent her three friends to the mall to buy me gifts (I hear she gave them very specific lists lol). She surprised me with all this when I came to visit her and I think that is when I realized the depth of her love for me. She died less than 1 months after that and it was my best birthday ever.
When I was around ten years old, my elementary school was having a mother and daughter fashion show, so we both dressed up in black sparkly dresses, and to add a little bit of funk too our outfits, we wore black sunglasses. I had such a blast with her walking down the model runway, and so did my mom. It is defiantly going to be a memorie I will never forget for when I grow older!!
My favorite memory was when my mom took me to Disney for my 12th birthday and we went to the theme parks and had so much fun. I had never been to Disney because we couldn’t afford it, so when she surprised me it was the most amazing day. I love her for it.

The best memory I have of my mother is when I was 10 years old and we had just moved to the USA every weekend she and I would spend the whole day shopping and getting our nails done, but since I’ve gotten older we’ve done less and less things she and I could reconnect with this shopping spree. I love her and I wanna show her that by bringing back those memories back.
When I was young and very self-conscious, I had a downer day and was feeling quite bad about myself. My mom came up to me and asked me if she was beautiful. I said yes, and she said well then of course you are beautiful too since you are my daughter! It was very encouraging and I remember it to this day!
My mum has been through a lot in her life and as a result has become quite withdrawn but my most favorite memories are those few moments that the real her appears and we laugh and joke together and it feels like we are the only two in the world carefree and happy. I love my mum 🙂
My favorite memory of my mom when she was alive was when she would take me on secret shopping trips after picking me up from high school. It was how we bonded and it made it even more special. Love you mom! Rest In Peace.
Favorite memory of my mother and I is when I first approached her about getting a tattoo. I had a long speech prepared about why I wanted one, what I was going to get and how I would pay for it. Nonetheless, I only got about half way through my speech she jumped up and said “Let’s go girl ! We are getting tattooed together!”
My favourite memory with my mom was when we went to Disneyland with my sister, and we had girl moments<3 , i love my mom, she's my hero, she thaught me that womens have the same oportuninies and capacities as men<3
My favorite memory of my mom and I is bathing in the river in her home country of Grenada, W.I. It was beautiful trip during my childhood in which we I met many family members and learned a great deal about my culture. I had never been in a river before and the island is beautiful and peaceful, so that time between my mother and I was priceless. I hope to take her back sometime soon as we haven’t been able to go in years due to illnesses and obligations.
It took me a while to develop a close relationship with my mom. I always felt as if she didn’t understand me and I didn’t quite get her. Although, as I got older, it was as if we finally started to speak the same language. It all started with a line of communication, that happened on a shopping trip to the mall. We discussed the problems that we were running into while trying on sun dresses and cami’s. I told her the many things I loved about our relationship, as I tried to fit my size nine foot in a size 8 1/2 shoe. And we just laughed at crazy things about my dad, as we looked in the mirror at how ridiculous we both looked in plaid (she more than I; I can at least pass as a high school private school student :)). It was just a great time! My mother is beautiful inside and out and our relationship is stronger than ever. Furthermore, our closets house not only a crazy amount of clothes, but a lot of great memories. I love my mommy 🙂
I share too many memories and special times with my mom to have a favorite. My mother has taught me to be an independent woman and to live life how I want , not under anyone else’s rules. I will always love and respect my mother for that. She is the most caring and humble mother a girl could ask her. I am so thankful to have such a strong figure for a mother. On mothers day, we have made it a tradition now to walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. I think this is one of my favorite memories with her. It shows that she’s always thinking of others and looking for new ways to get the whole family involved. I love you Mom , happy mothers day & always, thank you.
Two years a go I was young, privy to the world around me, selfish and ignorant. My mom was always someone I got along with but I remeber she’d tell me all the time “we’re best friends,” but I blow it off like “I have my bestfriends and your too old.” Typical teen. Flash forward several months, I was diagnosed with some long word so above my head that I just nodded in agreement. That “long word” came to equal 6 rounds of chemo followed by another 3 and I am now currently in the middle of a bone marrow transplant! Where is my mom in all this? Everywhere. Every hope. Every optimistic gesture. She never left me; she never complained. She was my rock. She still is my rock. I love her. And I wouldn’t want to change these last years because we have grown so much closer. If you are wondering, yes….SHE IS MY BESTFRIEND!
Playing cards with my mom. It isn’t everyday that she’s free and when she did play cards with me and her family and I saw that spread smile on her face. I just wanted to savor that game forever.
I have had many great memories with my mother, but the best one was when I was going through a rough time in my life. We did not get along much during high school, but when my high school sweetheart broke up with me, my momma was my best friend. I had lost my “love” and best friends and really had no one for a long time. One day, we went to the movies and out to lunch. My mom told me that no boy should ever make me feel the way I did because I was the most amazing and beautiful girl. She went on to tell me how proud she was of me for being strong and for growing into the confident girl she knew I would be. I know she is my mom and has to say those things, but I genuinely felt her words. Ever since that day, my mom has been my best friend and the person I look up to most in life. I strive every day to be the beautiful, kind, strong woman she is so I can make her the proudest mother.
While in Preschool, my mother would bring me flowers when she picked me up from school. This is the sweetest memory of my mom and I. I now bring my 6 year old daughter flowers.
The best memory I have with my mom is when she use to tuck me into bed kiss my forehead and sing me a lullaby. And when I’d have a bad dream she’d comfort me and let me sleep on her bed. My mom has done a lot of inspirational things in my live and has helped me become the person I am today. She is the best. I love you mom.
Some of my favorite memories of my mom is when she visits when I’m in the hospital (like today!). I go in pretty regularly so she’ll walk me to the gift shop to buy some candy to eat so I don’t get so bored while being given antibiotics 🙂
My mother would tuck me into bed, kiss me and turn out the light almost every night I went to bed while I lived under my parent’s roof. I am now a young woman, who lives two hours away from home because of my dream career. My mom continues this bedtime ritual until this day when I visit.
every year we always go to the amusement park but my mom would never go on any of the rides and always say that she’ll watch our stuff for us… then 2 years ago,at the age of 56, she went on her first roller coaster ride with me! her facial expression was priceless but she still going that whole day. that was the first and last time she ever went on roller coasters and i am glad i got to experience it with her and held her hand through it all. she told me she was glad i talked her into trying it once and never regret it to this day. i honestly think i was more scared for her than she was. lol
My favorite memory with my mom was when we got tattoos together. It was something I always wanted, but my mom was extremely scared of how much it might hurt. No one else in my family really has tattoos and my moms parents don’t exactly approve of them. When I finally convinced her that it wouldn’t hurt too much and it would be something we would always share, we finally went to get them. I got “Behind Blue Eyes” on my hip (my pony that passed away when I was younger) and my mom got an anklet with each of her kids initials coming off in hearts. I watched her get her tattoo and she watched me get mine. I could see how much she thought it hurt so I held her hand through the whole thing and realized what she was going through for this moment. That is definitely true love. Facing such a big fear for a memory and bond that will last forever. I am so proud of you mom and you will always be an inspiration to me. Love you!
There are so many memories of me and my mother but there’s one that I’ll always remember. So, me and my mom have love for shopping online or in the mall. And it’s probably why we’re so much alike anyway, one day me and her went to the mall. We went to Hollister; nothing that caught our eyes. We want to Victoria Secert; same old same old. We went to JCPenny; weird looking flower dresses everywhere. BUT then we went to Aeropostale; now they had 80% off sale so I literally flipped out. My mom and I were the only ones in the store so I flipped out even more! All the shelves were packed and all the dressers were too. Me and my mom went left to right grabbing every single thing that we thought that was cute. Since me and my mom are the same size it was pretty fast. We finished in under 20min maybe? The cashier looked at us like as if we’ve never been shopping before. After we were done; my mom reminded me that we had to go fAmily shopping for the FAMILY; but instead me and my mom had ourselves a mini shopping spree. So, since then that memory was one of my many favorite memories with me and my mother. Pleaseeeee pick us; you guys no idea how much we love Lulus. .
I remember when I was young my mom took me dress shopping for my bat mitzvah! It was such a hard decision and she had spent so many hours with me trying to find a dress! I was so grateful to have such a wonderful mother to put in all of her time to take me to get a dress for one of the best days ever!
My favorite memory with my mom is when we went to the local fitness club and my mom made a membership for my family (mostly her to go there) I know this is a weird memory but it means a lot. My mom decided to go on a diet and to work out daily, I admired how determined she was to get fit. I remember we both went on the elipticle and my mom couldn’t stay on very long because she was so tired. “Baby steps” she would always say. It’s funny to me how she could only do about 2 minutes on it and now she does a spin class 2 days a week for about 2 hours. But a few months ago she lost her mom, she got depressed and gained a lot of the weight back. It only took her a couple weeks though to get back to the fitness club and try even harder! I admire her so much because she is still going for her goal. She is strong and I’m proud to be her daughter being only 13 years old(: I love my mom <3
There are many things about my mom that I admire..
one of them is her desire..
to work and raise a family.
For you see..
My mom has worked each and every day
but still made time along the way to spend time with me
and mold me into the woman I would one day be.
After work we drove off to basketball practice,
or ballet, or whatever activity it was that day.
Life was lived in the fast lane…but Mom still made time along the way..
for us to eat dinner together as a family.
I’m grown up now but my Mom’s work hasn’t stopped..
she’s currently juggling two jobs..when it comes to her the ball will never be dropped.
She taught me how to work hard and still have fun,
to make time for the people who are number one.
I love you, Mom!!
Best memory by far with my mom was last Summer when I begged her to go to the Thunder from Down Under show with me in Las Vegas! My mom is from the Philippines and she grew up super conservative so for her to do something like this was very out of the ordinary but we had a great time and she cannot wait to do it again in August 🙂
When i was 40 weeks old pregnant me and My mom was in hospital for routine examination.My baby heart sound was a little bit slow.thenurse told me do something to wake her up.I tried to do many things,but nothing.My mom touch my belly,and whispered something to my baby.suddenly the heart beat was faster.That afternoon my baby was born.:) my mom twhispered her:The time is here to check this world! :)That was so wonderful!
Some of the greatest memories I have with my mom are of when we’ve just been sitting at home talking and joking together! My mom has an incredible sense of humor and her wit and charm are what keep me laughing all the time!
I think my favorite memory with my mom was last year when I went to Iowa to play in a soccer showcase. I left with my team and coach a few days before. I was pretty bummed that nobody could see me play because it was already too expensive to send me. I got through security and we got to the hotel or whatever, pretty chill night to prepare for the morning game. When my team got to the fields we all started warming up and our first exercise is to jog across the soccer field and back twice. When we were halfway across the field, I saw someone on the sideline setting up their chair that resembled my mom ALOT. I stopped and looked and it was my mom, my dad and her had chipped in money to get here to Iowa to suppor me in what I love doing. I’ll never forget how much it meant to me that she was at my first college soccer showcase.
I remember like it was yesterday only it was over ten years ago next month. It was a warm June day like another in the south, only that day was my birthday. After making her home made pancakes, eating a dozen of them, and watching cartons all morning she looked at me with the biggest smile and asked me what I wanted to do the rest of the day and I told her whatever she wanted. She took my hand and we made our way to the car. What seemed like hours later we pulled up to this building with neon signs, advertising things I never heard of before- manicure, pedicure, and Nail lacquire. The first thing that caught my eye as we made our way through the bells of fanfair announcing our arrival as if we were guest to the grand ball in Cinderella, were the rows of thrones with funny looking bowls at the bottom of each one lining the walls. My mom, who had seemed to transform into my fairy god mother by then told the ladies behind the desk to give me what ever I wanted it was my birthday. They took me to a wall, full of strange little bottles filled with paint- I would later learn that is was nail polish and is was going on my hands and feet. And not paper as I originally assumed and wondered how on earth I could ever finish my masterpiece with the littlest of brushes that could possible fit in the bottles. At the time it seemed like the hardest thing in my life, I didn’t know how on earth I would choose between the billions of colors so what else did I do? I found my mom and as usual she with her loving smile helped, we picked a vibrant burnt orange and she choose her signature red- a red I have always seen her wear to this day and ever since I can remember so does her mother (like her loving smile that has been passed from generations to her and to myself) . My mom help me into one of the big thrones and took of my favorite pair of jelly sandals, and to my amusement the bowl beneath my feet begin to feel with colorful water and bubbles. My mom sat next to me looking like a queen in her throne telling me to be still and stories of when she was a kid and the first time her mom took her to the nail salon… After being tickled and fixing the nails I had smudged trying to show of my new accessory. We headed home were my family and friends were waiting to my surprise, we had cake and ice cream and I showed off my new nails my mommy had got me to anyone I could get to listen about the magic my mom had just performed. I later came to realize that this was out of all the memories I have left of my mom, the day I got my first mani-pedi with my mom and looking back was my favorite, not because i enjoyed watching her as she made friends with the nail technicians and the smile on her face as she made me pancakes that morning and the same smile she had as I showed her my new nails and she played along in amazement as if she had never seen such a sight. I loved my mom and every time I look at the ultra pro- chili pepper polish that sets in my medicine cabinet, I realize it is my favorite memory of her because of her smile the happiness she had that day, I remember her, her smile and and the love she showed to others and they will always be my favorite memory with her. xoxo for you mom.
One of my favorite memories was my tenth birthday spent with my mom in Chicago. It was just us two and we stayed in at the W hotel. Each night we would go to the pier and watch fireworks and ride rides. Even without all that stuff it was nice just being able to spend time with my mom, my best friend,having fun together.
I have so many amazing memories with my mom. Being an only child, she’s not only my mother, but also my best friend. Some of my favorite memories are when I was little and my mom and I would both put curlers in our hair in the mornings and matching robes. She would drink sweet tea and I would drink hot chocolate while we read the morning newspaper. I am so thankful for all the sacrifices, advice, and never ending love my mom has given throughout the years. From helping me deal with mean girls and sleeping with me every night for weeks during difficult breakups to helping me redo my entire new house, I know she will always be there for me for the big and the small things.
My greatest moment with my mom was when i became my self a young single mother, i was on my own and she show me how to become a wonderful single mother like her. She gave me conference and gave me all the tools i needed to succeed in life. She raised 4 girls on her own and she did a wonderful gob she was a mother and father and until this day me being 33 years old she still there for us. Mommy i love uuuu and thank u for everything.
Some of my favorite memories of my mom were when my sister and I would be swimming in our pool and my mom would sit outside with us while my dad made us iced tea and when it came lunch time, she would bring us out dinosaur chicken nuggets. I asked her about what her favorite memory with me was and she said the exact same thing!
My favorite memory with my mother would be the times she would stay home and watch movies with me
My mom and I have shared many long lasting experiences. Although it is hard to choose only one, I would have to say my favorite one is when she came to a picnic with me at school. I wasn’t having the best day, but having my mom by my side made it better. Even though it was a small event that occurred that day, it is one of my happiest memories. It was really fun, and I will always cherish that day. Happy Mother’s Day!
My favorite memory of my mom and I would have to be Fourth of July weekend 2010. I had planned this entire birthday surprise at her job, however that went haywire when she was dismissed from work early. As I hustled to get my brother and sister to Manhattan, I had to also keep her at the workplace. I kept her busy by making frequent trips to her office with work to sign to keep her busy. Right as she caught on to my gimmick, my brother and sister showed up with flowers, cake and a present (Lancôme perfume). She was so excited and even blushed. The look on her face made everything worth while; I love surprising her.
My favorite memory with my mom is when I would go to my chemotherapy treatment appointments she would be by my side for four hours long and we would watch the Wendy Williams show and we would be laughing together at everything Wendy would say, that’s a memory I will never forget, knowing she was by my side everyday.
I remember I went to Lulus for the first time and I felt like I stepped into a fantasy world. The store was beautiful with its neat and tidy organization and its cute clothing selections. I love shopping at Lulus. It’s what any girl can ask for…
A memory of my mother and I that I hold deep in my heart is just throughout my teen years the days when she would pick me up from school and we would take whatever we could find that resembled a microphone, everything form a hair brush to a pencil, and just sing our heart out to silly songs like “Stronger” by Britney Spears to “Country Grammar” by Nelly. There is something about little moments when your mom feels like the only one who understands and knows JUST what you need to make you smile. I love you mom! This ones for you xoxo
Its simple but until now, my mom and I would always lay down together and tell each other secrets and talk for hours!! And I’m 17 lol. She is truly my best friend.
The greatest memories I have with my mother are all in the kitchen, she literally taught me everything I know in the kitchen and in my over all life, and as I get older I learn to appreciate it every moment I get with her more and more, I can only aspire to do the same with my own children.
It was like 5-7 years ago my mom was diagnosed with Cancer and I have never seen her before because I have always lived with my dad and when my aunts took me to her house I finally met her and she was really sweet and our relationship grew from there but we still have difficults but I still love her and will always remember this special moment.
My favorite memory of my mother would have to be one Christmas Eve during the year of 1995. I was six years old my mother told me to go to sleep and leave some chocolate chip cookies for Santa. So I did. She woke me up at 6am and said, hurry hurry wake up Santa is out side waiting for you! So I rushed out of bed and ran with my mom to the front porche of my house. My mom looks at me and said, oh no Santa left! I was bummed out but I asked her if she saw Rudolph the red nose reindeer and she said yes!!! His nose was really bright and red. I asked her why Santa left so fast she said bc Santa had to deliver gifts to kids all over the world. I told her next time mom you have to wake me up as soon as he gives you my gifts. My mom agreed and just smiled at me. I could remember this day like it was yesterday. My mom is awesome! I loved her imagination. I now know why I have a big imagination. I love my mom she’s the best!!!! Xoxo
One of my many favorite memories of my mom and I is on the day of my birthday she said that she didn’t get the cake that I wanted. Then as my family was singing “Happy Birthday” to me I see my mom coming with the cake I wanted. She had a smile on her face and she made me laugh. After they finished singing to me they kept saying to take a bite of the cake. So I lean down to take a bite, and then BAM! My mom’s hand comes in, and she pushes my face into the cake. She got me so good that some frosting went into my nose! Everyone started laughing, and I did too. I went up to her, hugged her, and then I put some frosting on her. No matter what foolish things my mom does to me, I will always love her. I appreciate everything she does for me. Love you mom!
I love how me and my mom share our clothes with each other and there was that one time when planned a joke on my brother that he got acceptef at a collage and all lol he was so happy and it was a good prank though.
People always think we are sisters so that is just great I love my mom and I hope some day I would be able to reply her what she did with me 🙂 <3
The best memory that I have of me and my mom is when we spent the hole day in the car talking about everything in her life and in mine. It really made me appreciate her way more. I love her so much.
My fondest memory of mom is when I was little and still to this day whenever I visit, my mom would come in my room every night when she thought I was asleep and stare at me for a minute and then give me a kiss and say “I love you” and I would say “I love you too”. She would be so surprised because she always thought I was sleeping but I’m a very light sleeper so I always knew when she came into my room. I miss it a lot, and I also do it to my baby girl today.
My favorite memory of my mom is from when I was very little, and I had a playhouse out in the yard. Every so often she would come into the house with me and have a tea party, pouring “tea” (apple juice) from my little teapot. We ate m&m’s, spoke in British accents, and just had fun being with each other. She’s my best friend <3
I have a million great memories with my mom but my favorite is probably the time my mom took me to Belize and we went snorkeling with reef sharks. We were out doing a lobster survey with the Belize Fisheries department in Glover’s Reef Atoll and we were on the boat when I noticed a fin sticking out of the water…all of the guys had already jumped in the water and my mom and I contemplated whether to leave them or to jump in. We both looked at each other and said “you only live once, let’s live on the edge” and we jumped in. I am so glad we did because not only can we say we sham with sharks but we also saw an amazing display put on by some bait fish the sharks were after. It will always be one of my fondest memories! P.S. Go visit Belize!
My favorite memory of my mom is my senior prom. My mom and I aren’t as close as I wish for us to be but that was one of the memories I share with her. I felt as if we bonded like never before. Just being there with her made me happy. I love my mom with all my heart. (:
One of my many favorite memories with my mom was about 2 years ago when I took her to see Prince in concert(My 5th time, her first time). That night I realized where my crazy concert antics came from. She was screaming louder then I was!! One of my funniest and funnest concert nights ever. #letsgocrazy
A great memory of my mom and I had to be the summer of 12 .This summer I was entering my first year of college, my mom sat me down and we looked through some old photo albums I’ve never seen. She started explaining how our family in Sierra Leone West Africa are very proud of me being the first to attend college especially as a seamstress like my great grandma.Her sharing that information made me want to work even harder to make my great grandma proud and my mother proud as well!
My favorite memories with my mom are when my mom, sister and I are all together. We love to give each other a hard time and make jokes about one another. Laughing till we cry. We make it a point to have these lil get-togethers often!!!
One of the fondest memories my mother and I share is when we went on a family vacation to Peru. She says she loves to watch my siblings and I travel and enjoy ourselves in the culture. Oh boy, did my sister immerse herself in the culture. I was with my whole family in a taxi, and there was a young Peruvian man loading up the taxi with out luggage. He and my sister, Sam had been somewhat flirty. But, when we left, he said goodbye to my family and I, and then stuck out his hand to my sister, and said, “I will wait for you.” I was sitting next to my mom, and we started laughing hysterically and cracking jokes on my sister. It was the best time and I realized how lucky I was not just have a mom, but a best friend. Now, till this day, we still wonder if he thinks about my sister and laugh so hard every time.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she said that I can do ANYTHING if I set my mind to it! Even if the whole world is saying no… She will always believe in me…. 😉 and would always be there for me…
the greatest thing about my mom is that she always understand me, no matter what. And i love her for that and for more many things. i love my mom.
It’s hard to choose a favorite memory because it feels like every day I spend with her gives me a new one. I love all of the memories I have of her sitting at the end of my bed while I’m laying in it talking about anything and everything. Sometimes she lets out this ridiculous laugh and I can’t help but smile thinking about it. If you would have told me when I was younger that my mother would become my best friend, I wouldn’t have believed you. But it has definitely happened! And I am so thankful:) I love you Mom❤
I can’t pinpoint any memory as my favorite … my mom has been fantastic every day of her life. She has been my life-line time and again. I love you, mom! Wouldn’t trade you in for anything. (:
My favorite memory of my mothers and I would have to be when my dad was in the hospital and my mom was scared of elevators, but we both knew we had to go visit him o the top floor. So we held hands and together we patiently rode up to the top and made it safely with each other and got to accomplish her fear and tell my dad all about it!
My favorite memory with my mom, was when her and I went shopping together and tried on all of the same outfits! It was a blast! After, we went out for a fabulous dinner!
My mom is my best friend. I don’t have a specific example, there are SO many! She is always there for me, to talk about anything. We have so much fun together, talking and joking. She is always there for me and has my back. Love you Mom. xoxo
My mom and I have a lot of great memories together, but if I had to choose it would be the time where she finally had a night off and my sister, my brother’s girlfriend, and I plus my mom all went to a GIRLS NIGHT OUT function. What made this night memorable was because it was the first time that I have ever seen my mother drink and I was 20 at that time. We laughed so much that night and we also went to bar tending class and she made a margarita which was hilarious because she did not know what she was doing and we were all tipsy and having so much fun! Then she finally decides to cut my sister off because she had to drive us all home, but the funny part was that my mom was drunk not my sister, and I have it on video where she would not let her drink! It was such an amazing night, it was good to see my mom enjoy herself for once and not have to worry about anything. Then she would not let me drink because I was underage and she hardly speaks english so she kept saying stop it and slapping us which made it extra hilarious because she sounded so squeaky! Oh what alcohol does to you when you drink, it brings out the fun in us !
My mother is the most inspirational and amazing person in my life! She is my best friend and I tell her everything and she is a hot mama so we get to share clothes! 🙂 My favorite moment with my mom is any moment, but the winning moment would have to be when we flew to Washington D.C. for just one adventurous day to hang out! I love her!
A favorite memory I’ve had with my Mom and I was when I randomly told her that I love everything that she has done for me and my whole family. It’s how so much pain and frustration mother’s can go through! So I just thanked her for my life and for ALWAYS being there. I could see the tears in her eyes, and she told me that no one has ever thanked her before, so she thanked me and gave me the most meaningful hug I’ve ever had.
My favorite past time with my mom is all the time I have spent with her. My mom is my hero my father left us leaving my mom to raise 4children. My mom had nobody she’s not from the US. My mom learned English went to school and became a nurse and was able to raise her children comfortably. She is an amazing strong woman and is my inspiration! Love her so much she is truly great mother.
Happy Mother’s Day lulus!!!!
My all time favorite memory with my mom would be our first bake sale. Our neighborhood was having a bake sale contest and my mom thought it would be cool to enter. It was the next day so we had to run to the store buy tons of dough and stay up all night. We stayed in the kitchen for at least 6 hours and talked about boys and such things. When we were done we had flour all over us and couldn’t look at another pastry. We didn’t win the contest but we did raise enough money for charity. Those conversations we had and spending time with her was my favorite memory of all time. (:
My greatest memory of my mom was in June 2012. After about 15 years of working and taking classes,, I watched my mother walk across the stage as a college graduate!!!!! It was the greatest feeling. My mother is beautiful, determined, strong and that day was epic for her, myself and our family. Lack of money, lack of time or raising 3 children, none of that stopped her. She always said “it may take me a while but I will finish”. And she did. I am so proud of her.
my favorit mom memory is of us cooking sunday dinner. she is a great cook.
My greatest memory of me and my mom was when I was 6 I was walking home from school. It was in the country so it was dirt roads. A little bully by the name of John pushed me on the ground and I scrapped up all my elbows and knees. When I made it home I was in tears. My mother was concerned and asked what was wrong. As I was sobbing and trying to explain she wiped my storm of tears with her hands and kisses me on my forehead. She then proceeded to say don’t cry sweetie, god allowed you to get back up and give your mother a kiss with a beautiful view of a waterfall, all we’re missing is the RAINBOW. Being that I was do young I began laughing and when I got older I asked what was the rainbow symbolizing. It was the unity of me her and my dad sharing a hug to comfort me. I love this story.
my favorite memory of my mom is probably all the nights we spent together sipping green tea and eating cookies while watching the golden girls and talking about life. it’s the little things! :] <3
My mom is really sick now and she hasn’t felt pretty in a while. Every time we can get her all dolled up and I see her smile, it just melts my heart. Those are the greatest memories of all time!
Every day with my mom is a special memory of its own. I love spending time with her.
I have so many favorite memories with my mom, but my favorite is when we went to see the black eyed peas at state college! It was just me and her so it was extra special because I usually take friends. The whole trip was fun. On the way down we talked about anything and everything and at the concert we danced and sang together and to finish it off we went to enjoy ice cream at the creamery! It was deffinitely one of my favorite memories with my wonderful mother!
Nothing can be compared to the love a my mother. Her love is incomparable, unconditional and inseparable. No matter where I go or what I do, at the end of the day I will always love you. But, it was my thirteenth birthday and no one ever said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to me so, I was so sad and felt like everyone forgot my birthday. But, that wasn’t the case. My mother planned a trip to California and everyone knew about it even my friends. It was the best memory ever. We had a lot of quality time together. It just nice to just sit and talk to your mother once and a while. It’s really hard to do that when your mother works a lot.
A favorite memory of mine of my mom is when we were stuck in traffic one day and she started telling me stories about her youth. She told me she went to a concert to see Menudo (Ricky Martin’s band when he was younger) when she was younger with her sisters and that when she saw him on stage she tried getting on there with them. She was caught by security guards and sent back to her seat. I love this memory because its one of her memories as well and it always makes me laugh imagining her running to see Ricky Martin.
I remember the day my dad left my mom she held on to me and cried and promised me that she will never leave me and. you know what she never did.. Love you MOM!!!
A favorite memory that I will always remember about my mom is, I called my mom telling her that my boyfriend at the time proposed (kind of, it was not very romantic haha) she started laughing because she is always silly and loves to mess around. She thought I as lying and I told her no mom I’m serious and of course I started laughing too cause I got the silly side from her as well. She was still giggling and was happy and congratulated me and my fiancee. I love my mom with all my heart and I would literally take a bullet for her. I might even get my mom’s Chinese name as a tattoo. Thank you for the giveaway!
The fondest memory I have with my mother would probably be the last time we pulled out a box filled with family photos. We were looking through a vast majority of photos when we stumbled upon one that we thought was lost to the times. It is of my mother and I holding hands walking out of a garden together, taken when I was 3. We stopped and looked at each other and both started to cry. I just felt this warmth and natural bond between my mother and I then, it’s kind of rare now that I am in college but it is a photo we both got copies of. I now hang the original on my refrigerator and it makes me smile when I look at it. My mom is my best friend and I miss her right now…
My favorite memory of my mom is the morning I left for college (my dad and older brother were moving me in) she hugged me and told me not to forget about her. I laughed and said, ‘Mom, how I could ever forget about my mother?” She said, “You won’t have me everyday to see so I don’t want you to forget my love.”
No matter how corny it was that day, that memory sticks out to me the most because whenever I go weeks/months without physically seeing my mom the inner child in me knows I can’t ever forget her love.
One of my favorite memories was when me and my mom were picking out my dress for my quince. We were up all night deciding on which one we both liked
One of the best memories I had with my mom was driving in San Francisco. We drove to Fisherman’s Wharf to enjoy the seaside and the entertainment. We thought why not go downtown and so we went back on the road. Bad choice to go to downtown San Francisco without looking at a map ahead of time, especially since we didnt live there. So I became the GPS for her and told her directions. However, we stumbled across an extremely steep street that continuously climbed higher and higher after it. Once we thought the horror was over, we came across another steep street but this wasn’t just steep it was like facing a ginormous wall! My mom screamed ‘Holy Moly! This is the Great Wall of China!’
One of my favorite memories with my mom was also something shared with my grandma. It was when my husband and I were moving into our first home. My mom would show up with either a coffee or diet pepsi in hands, ready to work. My husband and I had rented a small 2 bedroom place for 3 years. We had accumulated alot of stuff. My mother and Grandma were there every day of the move. It was a time when we all shared funny stories from our lives, many were when I was just a baby. I heard stories about my grandparents when they were first married (married now for 53 years)and then listening to my mom tell me stories of when her and my dad were first married. They would take over the packing of items and ask me to tell them what box to place it in and where to put it. I really enjoyed the process of moving because it was a time of family stories and laughter.
I was going in for breast cancer surgery and while i was in hospital room waiting my mom put on the plastic gloves in room and was acting like she was the doctor all i could do was laugh and she put me at ease surgery was a success
My favorite memory about my mom is her teaching my how to braid hair on my baby dolls .. I would get frustrated when the braid would unravel n I couldn’t find a barett so one day I put nail glue on the end of the braid and asked her to hold it for me..she was busy watching tv and thought it was wet bec I put gel on it..5min later “MAIAAAA!!” Lololol I said ” well mom
You told me to be creative..we both laugh til this day about it..luckily I ended up with a baby boy 🙂
My mother. She’s more than a preschool TEACHER, WIFE to my father, and MOTHER of me and my 3 siblings. She’s also oldest SISTER to my 6 aunts and uncles and oldest DAUGHTER to my grandmother, who also was the oldest child in her family. My delight the day I discovered, when I was 13 or so, that I am the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter of the oldest daughter in my family! I used to want to have an older sibling, someone to look up to after always having so much blame and responsibility. But it took her to make me realize: It was leadership, not burden, that rested on the head woman’s shoulders. She’s a DREAMER. We’ve dreamt up a billion businesses and restaurants and shops and cafes to open. Franchises to build. Inventions to create. So it’s no surprise I’m in my own entrepreneurial endeavors. She’s a FRIEND. My favorite memory of my mother was a holiday, when our huge family was over. I had said something short, snappy, and curt about the lameness of my mother to one of my aunts when she smiled and said:”Your mom said the exact same thing about your grandmother at your age!” My mother grinned silently over the stove, knowing the truth of it, and I let go of my anger, realizing that one day it would be me telling my 14 year old daughter she can’t date that guy either. And I would be glad to be my mother. I salute all the mothers and females who have touched my life, and give most of all, my strong mother. Live long and prosper!
my favorite memory of me and my mom is going to the beach together. it was absolutely sublime just lounging on the beach. too busy for that now that i have kids we don’t get that quality time just the two of us anymore.
My mom is such an inspiration to me. She literally will drop everything she is doing when I call, just so we can talk. One of my favorite memories of ours is when we went to the town pool when I was about 8. To this day she will NEVER ever go underwater in a pool because she hates to get her hair wet or get water in her ears. This particular time, it was just me and her without my siblings and I asked her if she would go underwater so that we could jump off the diving board together. She did it! This is just one of many sacrifices she has made for me over the years, simply because she loves me and wants to see me smile!
When I went off to college, and began my journey as an adult dealing with the “realness” of life on my own, I then realized how much my mom really loved me and is my number one best friend. This memory may seem strange to some, but I will never forget this moment because this was the first time I seen my mom not just as the woman standing over me telling me what to do; but walking next to me, teaching me how to go on. It was my first year in college, and I lost my virginity to an athlete, who I thought actually liked me. I soon realized the harsh reality of men, sex, and the hurt that comes with it. I was fresh out of high school, classified as the good girl at home and at school, and walked a pretty straight path. Needless to say, I was distraught, hurt, shamed and disappointed. I debated if I was going to tell my mom because she expected high standards from me, and I knew she would KILL me if she found out. But, I turned to her because I had nowhere else to go. I broke down in tears to reveal my shame, and my mom showered me with love and wisdom. She said, “Ohhh baby, it’s okay. You’ve always been so hard on yourself; understand no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Your value has not diminished in my eyes. Now, you hold your head up high, keep pushing forward, and walk in victory! Remember I love you, and I’m glad you know you can come to me about anything and I will NEVER judge you.” What a relief lol thanks mom
My favorite memory about my mom was when she gave me a pair of her favorite chestnut colored calfskin boots!! I knew she really loved them and it touched my heart that she was willing to part with them, granted that she is a major shoe and handbag lady!!! She really encouraged me to dress for me and establish my own style!! She is the BOMB!!! I love that foxy lady!!!!
Us going to North Carolina together for a week without any boys.
At night we would stay up until midnight or later and watch Switched At Birth or other shows.
For two of the days we taught a cooking class together.
WE would complain about the neighbors and how those teenagers thought they had the right to play Frisbee where our car was then put a sign up to not park there.
I have always loved shopping with my mother and now more than ever. My father recently died and my mom and I have been having a hard time but retail therapy always seems to help. I can’t think of just one favorite memory of my mom, I just love how wonderful and strong she is all the time. She inspires me to be just like her when I grow up. She is my best friend and I can’t wait to create more and more great memories with her.
My favorite moment with my mother would have to be every single one..For those of you who grew up with a single mother you will understand this. Now that I am older and have a child of my own I realized how difficult it must have been. She would take me out of school some days and we would just pick up and take a drive and have no plan at all. Most of the time we ended up at the beach. It was nice and we always enjoyed the simple things . I’m only 23 now , but I would have to say I miss the simply things and times when technology didn’t take over your family time. Growing up with a strong mother like mine truly made every moment with her a treasure.
Take care of your mothers ladies and happy Mother’s Day to all.
My favorite thing that my mom and I are constantly doing is taking really awful pictures of ourselves and sending them to each other. It’s the funniest thing ever and always the best thing to do/see when you’re having a not so great day!
One of my favorite moments with my mom was when we went to New York together and i took her thrifting with me. It was so interesting seeing her realize that not only do I shop, but I do it cheaply! Really, it was just nice spending time with her and letting her into a world of discounted shopping, and showing her how many nice things you can get without going to department stores.
A favorite memory of my mom is when I was little and she use to comb my hair every night. Even though this was something small it was special to me because it was our time! I had my mom all too myself. We still have this time now every once in a while, but it’s the other way around. I’m doing her hair now! 🙂
one of my greatest memories with my mommy is the time when I was 8 and I had peed in the bed. I was soo in embarrassed so I covered it with my covers hoping she wouldn’t find it. She then came looking for me because she called me for breakfast and I took a long time to come. She came into the room and smelled something funny. She asked me what is that smell and where is it coming from. I pretended not to know what she was talking about and tried to make her leave before she could find out. She then begin to sniff it out I was so scared I would get in trouble I stated to cry and just told on my self. she stated to laugh at me because how silly I was acting about. she gave me a big hug and said it was okay and that she use to pee in the bed at my age to and its nothing I should be embarrassed about just next time tell her so we can fix the problem. Then she laugh again and called me pissy missy as a funny name to make me laugh. After all that I know from then on I could go to my mom for anything no matter how embarrassing. I hate that name but…. I LOVE MY MOMMY <3
When I was a young women, I loved when me and my mother bonded. And how we bonded was to go shopping. My mothetwas a fancy dresser, and I got my fashion sense from her. Love you mom, happy mothers day in Heaven! !

My favorite memory of me and my mom was on our first trip to Disney World. I was 8 years old. There was a ride in Tommorrowland that was on top of a building. They were space ships. My mom couldn’t here the announcement explaining the directions, so when the ride “took off” she told me to pull back on the stick. So I did. I pulled back on the stick to the point where our space ship was literally on its side and it took my mom everything she had in her to hold me in and keep me from falling out! Sounds scary, but was actually one of those moments you look back on and laugh!!
One of my favorite memories of my mom was my fifteenth birthday. She insisted on throwing me a quinceanera even though we aren’t Spanish. She went all out. We had mexican food, spanish music, she rented a really fancy venue, followed all the quinceanera rules, and even brought me this beautiful red dress. The highlight of the whole thing was seeing her so happy and proud of me. It was the best. I love my mom!
I remember when I was about 7 and my older sister 8, we went with our mom to pick up my dad at work when we got rear-ended really hard! The first thing my mom did was jump out of the car and to the back seat to make sure we were okay.. She held onto us so tight! I remember that day so vividly! I love my mom!
My favorite memory of my mom is when my boyfriend of two years cheated on me, I would cry everyday, i did’nt want to go to school anymore, I even stop eating too but Every morning she would make me a lovely breakfast and force me to eat and give me a long explanation on how everything was going to be okay and then one day she threw me a surprise party for no reason and she invited all my friends and family, she told me she threw it so I could get my mind off of things and I did, we both had alot of fun that day. I love my mom she is the best.
My mom…she’s the kind of mom that knows exactly whats going on in my head without having to say a word. At the same time she’s my favorite open ear and best opinion around. My absolute favorite memory, aside from playing dress up & trying on full skirted dresses to test the “twirl factor”.. (still do it today!) is….
When I was a little girl, almost every night before bed I would sit in my moms lap as she put curlers in my pin-straight hair so I could wake up and be “goldilocks.” One night she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said “you know Rachael, one day you’re no longer going to fit in my lap like this.” I’ve never felt so loved and have never forgotten it.
Love you Mom!! -Can’t wait to twirl test the wedding gowns! <3
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when we danced together in a dance recital for my dance studio. We were dancing on stage side by side and at the end of the recital, when people asked, “Is that your mother?” I answered proudly, “Yes.” My mom’s dream was to become a dance teacher and she taught me when I was little. I love my mom.
Well for starters I love my mother with every feeling in my body. She supports me through everything. My favorite memory of my mother is when she held my hand through life and that’s every moment of my life up until college, she let go and said “I’m setting you free for now and since I love you, I know you’ll be back. Just do me a favor and bring me that awesome Bachelors degree when you arrive.” I love her!
There are so sooo many deeply sweet memories with my mama that I treasure that it is hard to pick just one. I have been so deeply blessed with a rich friendship with her that continues to grow. She is my number one supporter, influencer, and cheerleader and I continue to be impressed daily with the hurtle’s she constantly overcomes, and the things she grows in. I think one of my all time favorite memories with her is so simple but something that I will always remember and treasure. Mother to five kids, my mama would place a chair between our bedrooms in the hallway to read little house on the prairie and countless other stories to us before bed. I remember so many times where we would all wait breathlessly as she would overcome sobs or giggles during emotional parts of the stories. After each bed time chapter she would come to each of us individually and wrap us in a “burritto.” She would take the blanket and tuck it in around us and roll us around and push us and pretend to eat us with kisses. We would all squeal with delight and then beg for more! haha She still does that very occasionally. Love her so so much. The fun has only increased. I’m so blown away with how blessed I am to have her for my mother.
My mother is from Poland, she does things differently then most moms, old remedies she knows I guess. Frozen polish sausage as a teether was one of them. She’s in her late 60s now and watches my sisters daughter, whom I rarely see. One day watching them two together while my sister at work, was like looking back at me or my sis with our mom. She was singing in Polish and doing this polish dance to entertain the little one. It brought tears to my eyes being able to hear and see that song/dance again. Love you mom!! Your the greatest!!
My mother was a wonderful woman, full of life and style. She passed too soon at 70, and I try my best to imbue her qualities into myself and share them with my daughters, now 21 and 24. She had style when money was short and opportunities to purchase cool clothing and accessories small–I can’t believe that I can now do my best to show that that is still possible in today’s world!
My favorite memory with my mother is when I graduated from high school and we were on our way to drop me off at college. She & I were the only ones that went, out of my whole family, and it was awesome because it was a 7-8 hour drive and we talked about everything: stuff we had never talked about, to memories we shared, to stuff I never knew about her, etc. It fundamentally changed me as a person and enabled me to see my own mother in a different, but fuller light.
My Mother passed away when I was younger,I live with my aunt that I call mom. My Favorite Memory with Her is when I was 10 years old I decide to call her mom
My favorite memory of my mom is actually on Mother’s Day about 10 years ago. I have four sisters and we were extremely determined to make sure that my mom had the BEST Mother’s Day ever. The morning began with breakfast in bed for her (two pieces of toast with jelly and a cup of orange juice…it’s not like four kids under 12 could make anything more elaborate). After breakfast, we had her enter our makeshift “spa” which included a massage station, a nail station and a hair station. With the sincerest intentions, we attempted to make her as comfortable as possible, however, looking back on that now, it seems highly unlikely that she wa relaxed. Picture it: four little girls poking and prodding on your back and feet, getting nail polish all over your hands, and pulling your hair relentlessly. The fact that my mom went through with all of this with a great attitude is incredible to me. Mom’s have this incredible ability to act selflessly, especially when it comes to their children. Seeing as Mother’s Day was on a Sunday, we went to church after the “spa treatment.” Being the good sport that she is, she kept the tight braids in her usually rather voluptuous hair and didn’t remove any of the nail polish on her hands. Looking back now, I can appreciate so much more how much she sacrifices each day for us, whether its simply wearing her hair in a funny way to church, or skipping work to take care of us when we’re sick. Mothers are as close to superheroes as we can get. Without my mom, I would be so lost in this vast world.
Growing up my mom and I had a very strained relationship. My mom worked and traveled a lot and I had nannies take care of me most of childhood. As I got into my teen years our relationship got stronger and we found more things to bond over…until I was 18 and came home one day to tell her I was pregnant. Through out my whole pregnancy my mom kept we distance, we didn’t talk much. She was disappointed and angry.
The day came when I went into labor and who was the one and only person by my side? My mom. Holding my hand, coaching me through everything and letting me know everything was going to be all right. She never life my side the whole 32 hours (the most painful 32 hours of my life!! Lol) . Finally my son was born and my mom was there to spend the special moment with me. When I had no one else to be there by my side, she was there. From that moment we shared and even more powerful bond because I too was a Mom! She taught me that no matter how disappointed I may be, I always must stand by child’s side just like she did for me. From that day on our relationship has never been better. She’s my best friend…and free babysitter 😉
My best mom memory … when I lived in PA, we used to get pizza at our favorite local joint each Friday and take it to my Nana’s house. One day, when I was about 12, we came back and like always, we set the pizza box on top of the gas stove so everyone could grab slices. Unbeknownst to everyone, my little brother (4 or 5 at the time) turned the dial on the stove up to high when no one was looking. We’re sitting around, eating and chatting when my nana goes, “I smell something burning!” And my mother shushes her, because historically, my nana is ALWAYS smelling something burning. About two minutes later, my nana says the same thing, “something is burning, I swear!” And my mother tells her to shush up and stop freaking out over nothing. This happens two or three more times, with my nana and mother arguing over each other’s imaginary sense of smell, when all of a sudden, my big brother turns around and goes “MOM, THE PIZZA BOX IS ON FIRE!” And my mother screams at him, “DANIEL, DO NOT ENCOURAGE YOUR GRANDMOTHER!” Dan grabs her by the shoulders and spins her around to see that there are flames shooting out of the pizza box. My mom starts screaming “THE HOUSE IS BURNING DOWN!” and my brothers and I have to run out of the room, we’re laughing so hard. Finally, my mom throws the pizza box in the sink and douses it with water, all while my nana is yelling at her, “See, Jennifer, you never believe me!!!” Plenty of good Catholic guilt was used that night.
My top favorite moment spent with my mother was having her by my side, front and center during the birth of my first born son and her first grandson. She was supposed to help hold my leg up while I pushed but unfortunately got caught up in the moment when my son finally emerged and dropped my leg to do a quick happy dance! I’m more than grateful she was there for me to see the girl she gave life to, give life to another. another.
My favorite memory with my mom is not necessarily the sweetest… When I was a teen, I would stay out so late & not call her to tell her I was going o be out late. When I get home, she would lecture me and threaten to disown me. The next morning she would wake me up for something she had cooked up that she knew I would like. Food was definitely the way to our hearts lol.
My favorite Mom memory was the day that my siblings and I got her a rabbit for Christmas, which might seem kind of silly, but she’d seen these Lion Maned Rabbits at a county fair that summer, and she fell in love with them. She did all this research and everything about them. So, my siblings and I decided to get her one! Also, my dad did not want a new pet in the house, but we knew that Mom wanted one so bad, and we also knew that my dad would just get over it, and he too loves our rabbit Rudy now.
My favorite memory with my mother would probably just be my entire childhood. I no longer have a relationship with her, but when I did, she was my best friend. My whole life, I’ve lived with my grandparents, so my mother would constanly visit me, when she could, at their home when I was younger. She would come over and we’d play games. We’d also put together a lot of puzzles, cause my mom loved puzzles, and I remember always thinking she was so cool and smart because she could put pieces together so quickly, while it took me forever to match them up. We would also bake a lot, cakes usually, and I would get really excited when she would let me stir the batter. I would also dip my finger into the cake mix when she wasn’t looking to taste just a little bit of the raw batter, and when she would catch me, she would scold me and tell me that I shouldn’t be doing that. She would also help me on my homework whenever I needed her too, and what I loved most about that was that she was always so patient with me. And when she wasn’t around, we would talk on the phone for hours. I used to feel so lucky to have such a wonderful mom who cared so much about me, and even though she is no longer in my life, I’m still thankful that I had her around to make my childhood such a happy and memorable one.
My greatest memory of mom is my every day with her. She makes me feel important from the moment I wake up when she cooks me breakfast until the moment I’ll fall asleep when she fixes my blanket. My is the most wonderful I have ever met. So when she needed to go abroad, I cried hard and she hugged me. I can still feel the warmth and love that hug gave me. I love you mom! 🙂

I have always been a rebellious and stubborn child who tends to wear a hat too big for her head. If my mom had not been so stern and persistent in persuading me to commute to college from home instead of living in the dorms, I would not be so stable and financially independent as I am today. While others are working a minimum wage job to help pay through college, I can proudly say I manage the family tanning business, have no college debts, and an esthetician license at the age of 20. My mom has always taught me that nothing feels better than being an independent woman who makes her own money and can go into any restaurant/shop without relying on a man. She has made that dream come true for herself as a single mom of 2, and I inspire to be a strong, capable, and wise woman just like her everyday.
My mother is someone who always goes above and beyond for others.
A favorite memory that I have of her involves a moment when she showed me
that selflessness and inspired me to be a better mother and a better person.
Tired from having taken care of my grandma who had been in and out of the
the hospital and was in what we would discover to be her final days with us, she
had sat down on her living room floor, legs sprawled out in exhaustion. She had spent the previous year
moving my grandma from Hawaii to California to live with her. A year later, my grandma’s
health began to fail and my mom spent almost every waking moment (and some she needed for sleep)
to tend to her mother. I had taken my son, her first and only grandchild (who was barely a year old), to visit hoping it would cheer both my grandma and mom up. My son sat on the floor next to my mom. My son had one of
those paper balls that would puff up when you blew air into it. Although I knew how much
my mom had to do for my grandma, she did not let on how tired she was. Instead she blew up the
ball and kept it floating in the air to make my son laugh. She sat and played with him delighting
in making him smile. She kept that little guy (who was barely a toddler and full energy) entertained
with the same amount of joy and active spirit. In hindsight it may not have been the best thing to have her exert more
energy in our visit on top of what she was dealing with. But, in a way,
it was what she needed. She, in turn, showed me that loving others means giving of yourself with
all you have in you. She reminded me, a first time mom and tired myself
from sleepless nights, that there is joy in trying to make others happy or giving them comfort.
My favorite memory with my mother had to be last summer when I rented a shore house with my friends . She called and said she had a few days off and her and my grandmom were driving 3 hours to crash our party! My mom is awesome so my friends didn’t mind so she came down , was on the beach and called me to tell me about how ” hot guys ” were in the ocean . Us being girls ran to the beach to show off our bikini bodies . It started to rain and my mom grabbed the guys kooler and said party at our house and as they followed we spend the next 2 hours sitting in the garage with the guys laughing and having a great time . My mom officially became more my best friend then ever before and I feel at 25 , that’s ok now 🙂
My mother and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, but then again we all have are ups and downs with our parents. The special thing about that is at the end of the day I will always have my mom to lean on, no matter what. So, with that being said my favorite memories with my mother are those moments when we make up and reminisce for hours. I feel the closest with my mother at that very moment and I love the connection/bond we’ll never lose.
Happy Mothers Day to all mothers out there ! xoxoxo -Jay
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when we were dealing with the death of my brother. I’m the youngest in our family,and have always been pretty “babied&spoiled” during this hard time my mom couldn’t function and I stepped up to the plate. I prepared all of the funeral arrangements. A few days after everything my mom sat down and told me how she truly appreciated me and how strong,wise,and helpful I was. It felt great to hear her say that and for me to be her rock to lean on during such a difficult and hurtful time in our lives. She still will bring this up today about my strength. That moment solidified my growth and step into womanhood in her eyes!
My favorite memory with my mom is when my sister and I were younger we used to make lime sherbet floats and pop popcorn and watch Disney movies! I love my mom so much and I’m super excited for Mother’s Day 🙂
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when she got back from the hospital after undergoing surgery for cancer. Being eight and not knowing much, I was scared out of my mind. I realized how much my mom meant to me, and not having the security of always having her around made me realize that I needed to cherish every second with her. Right when she got out of the car, I sprinted up to her and gave her a giant bear hug, knowing that she was still with me. Although neither of us talked, we bonded over that moment and it is one that I will never forget. It was just different then all the moments we shared because we didn’t have to talk. I knew she felt I loved her and I knew she loved me more than anything :’) My mom is my hero and inspiration and without her I wouldn’t be who I am today!
Hi! Ever since I was little my mom and I would have a “Girl Day” every 2 weeks.. We would get our nails done, go out to eat, and watch movies at night. But there was one Particular day that I will call my most favorite memory. We Did All of those things one day but later that one night we talked and talked and talked. It never ended but it was so perfect because I was able to open up to her about things I thought I would never be able to tell her and she listened. No other person will ever compare to this Strong, Independent, Caring, Loving women I call my mom! There are no words to explain what she means to me. That would be my Favorite memory of my mom and I. I Love You Mom!!
The greatest moment with mom was when she taught me how to ride my bike
My favorite memory of my mom is how this tiny 90 pound woman would stand up to my huge dad- or anyone really! She taught us girls to be so strong and showed us that you do not come between a momma lioness and her cubs! 🙂
I fondly remember the time my mom taught me to crochet when we were on a holiday. It was a lovely time:)
My favorite memory with my mom is when we went on a rode trip just us to we went to see the dodgers, to the beaches and more:) I will always cherish them moments wen I had her all t my self..I miss you mom.
Laughing uncontrollably on our way home from spending the day in LA. I can’t even remember what we were laughing about now, but I distinctly remember looking over at my Mom to see a huge smile on her face. A perfect end to one of our many mother daughter excursions.
There was this flash sale in a boutique and gosh, me and my mom had gone wild by buying a lot of clothes, and when it comes to the cashier, we both look at daddy with the most sparkling eyes we have, after dad paid the bill, my mom and I were “hehehehehehe-ing” all the way back home. That was my favorite memory with her.
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment.
My favorite moment with my mom is when I told her she was going to be a grandma for the first time. I went to her office with a gift bag full of baby things, diaper, fake bottle ect ect. Told her I got her a little something special for being such a great mother. Once she started to pull the objects out, the look on her face was the greatest thing ever! Instantly water works once she figured out what I was trying to tell her. I’ve never seen so much happiness in one persons expressions ever. From that day on she was not only the greatest mother a girl could ask for but the greatest grandmother as well! I will tell my daughter this story once she gets older ad hopefully she’ll do the same to me (when the time comes)
My favorite memory with my mom is from 2010. She came to Atlanta in December, and we wanted to go to dinner and a movie one evening, but it started snowing. So, we decided to stay in and ordered Chinese–which she loved. I also took her to get a massage while she was here. When we finished, she said, “Oh Natalie, I thought I had had a massage before, but they were NOTHING like that!” It felt good to do something small for the woman who has done so much for me!
One of my favorite memories with my mom is when she used to do my hair. While she was doing my hair I would be doing the hair of my doll and I would have the hardest time making ponytails or just about doing anything to that Dolly’s hair, but when we would both be done she would say, “Wow! If I didn’t know any better a professional just did that Dolly’s hair.” She would finish her praises of me by saying, “Anyone could set out to do anything, but getting up and doing it and completing it until the end is where all of your hardworking and “praises” will come from, never give up Stanka in anything because Never ever accomplished anything.” I love that woman, she let me know that there’s nothing I can not do if I put my mind to it.
Favorite memory was seeing my mom right after my fiance proposed to me and I got engaged. She was waiting for me in our favorite restaurant and I was completely surprised. It was amazing to be able to share such a special moment with her and both be crying tears of joy. There was so much laughter, smiles, and hugs, that night. She was so happy for us and she always wants the best for me. I can’t wait to have her by my side at my wedding in 5 months.
My fave moment was the day my son was born and my mom looked down at me holding this little buddle and said..”Now you know what I’ve been trying to tell you ..nothing else matters now you’re a mommy” …”and you will always have someone to love ”
All the years of worry or saying no was because she loved me….I know that now AS A MOTHER myself 🙂
My favourite memory of my mom is that every time my sister or I leave on a missions trip to India or Haiti or wherever it might be she always supports us, she never tells us there is something we can’t do. And she’s always the first to hug us when we come home. 🙂
My mom has always been my greatest supporter. When I first went off to college it wasn’t the normal college experience. The experience of enjoying new friends, a new living space, and a time to discover a new me. Instead, my first year of college I experienced being Bullied. My dorm roommate attacked me, she also bit my forehead with her teeth causing my forehead to have her mark on my face and brutally beat me to the point where I didn’t go back to campus the next semester. I under went physical therapy, emotional therapy, and the healing of a crushing mark on my forehead. My mom inspired me to fight through my downfall and return to school the next semester. I did! Shortly after my grandmother passed away and I was able to inspire my mom to keep moving in life. She did! She went back to college and not only did she go back to college, she went to college with Me. Now we can inspire each other when we walk across the graduation stage together. We are expected to graduate college together next spring 2014 one week before Mothers Day! What a Greater Gift❤
My favorite memory of me and my mom is when we got lost in italy together, I was 17 at the time. We were traveling over there with my dad and my 2 brothers and we decided that we would split up for the day, us girls would go shopping and the boys would go on an adventure. My mom convinced my dad that we knew exactly where we were going and that she could find her way around. As soon as we walked out of our hotel my mom turned to me and said, “I have no idea where we’re going, but we are going to have a great day together.” That whole day was such a special and fun time with my mom. We found away around the beautiful city, shopped, ate lunch, walked the streets and experienced everything italy had to offer together. I will never forget all the laughs and wonderful conversations and beautiful sights that we saw together. It was truly an eye opening day for me as I got to see my mother in a new way, and we have been closer ever since.
I have had many beautiful memories with my mother. She is the backbone of my family and gives her whole self into helping everyone. She is kind, generous, loving, and would do anything in the world to make our lives less complicated. She planned my whole wedding for me and it was the most amazing and perfect day anyone could ever ask for. But… my most favorite memory I have with my mother is when I was 4 years old. My mom had me in a Mommy & Me daycare program and I can vividly remember how much fun I had with her. She loved me so much as a child and throughout all of my years. To know that my mother was always there to love me, hug me, be a friend to me from such an early age is truly a blessing.
My greatest memory with my mom has not occured yet. In fact, it will happen on May 23, 2013 when she will see me walk across the stage to get my degree in Elementary Education.Although it took 6 years for me to get here, I have finally made it with all my hard work and determination. If it wasn’t for my mom showing me the right path to go on and being a positive role model, I don’t think I would have made it this far. I am forever thankful to have a mom like her in my life and will definitely represent her when that day comes. “Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
One of the best memories I have with my mom is finding that my grandmother (my mother’s mom) leukemia went into remission! My mother is one of the strong women I have ever met. She had not been home to see my father in almost a month because she has been a devoted daughter and not left my grandmother’s side. Also my grandmother was such a fighter that when they told her that she only had a month that that was not an option. These are two incredible females that I have in my life. I am truly blessed! I love you Mom and Gma!
My favorite memory of my mom is when I was little and she taught me how to plant/had me help plant our vegetable garden. Since then, i’ve grown up but my passion for plants has grown with me and is something we have in common. Every weekend I look forward to planting/gardening in the yard with my mom. We always laugh when we come home from shopping because the back of the truck is filled. We always joke and justify our shopping spree saying, well their could be worse addictions!
One of my favorite things about my mother was that she gave me a chance. You see, I was raised by my step-mother. When my real mother found out she was pregnant with me her and my father were going through a divorce and she wanted to abort me. My father wouldn’t have it! Then he met the most beautiful angel on earth, my step-mother. She gave up her 2 jobs that she so dearly loved to be a stay at home mom and raise me and my brother. She has never once treated us as her stepchildren. She is the most self sacrificing, loving, supportive, and considerate person I know. I call her Mom and have since day 1. She has always believed in me and encouraged me to reach for my dreams, there is nothing that I can’t accomplish. Thanks to her, I am now in Nurse Practitioner school. I owe it all to her and am so glad God has blessed me with a “MOM”.
A memory with my mom that will stick with me forever is from this year, when we were discussing my upcoming graduation. During this conversation as I told her my fears and doubts, she said the most meaningful thing to me. She told me that she would always be proud of me, no matter what I do, and that I could do anything I wanted to do in life. My mom is the most nurturing and loving woman I know.
I am about to get married in a few months and the support system my mom has been for me is not something I can even encompass. However, I will try and be as eloquent as I can be for the woman that constantly leaves me speechless. My parents are not poor by any standard but they are not wealthy either. I remember when I was around 6 years old I would cry everyday to not want to leave her and go to school. She told her boss one day if she can get the day shift so at least when I come from school she would be there for me. Her boss said no very rudely, then my mom said what if I work double shifts for two days the whole day so that you can at least give me the day shift once or twice a week. She used to work from the morning (9AM to like 10PM) just so she could at least be there for me when I came home. She would have fridays off and then come home with chinese food and have it ready for me and my sister to enjoy and watch tv. It took me many years to realize how hard she worked only to work even harder at home, all so I would not cry and I could actually be with her. I think to be a mother one needs to be selfless, a place it may take me years to reach but she has always been selfless. More than just winning this $100 contest, I just want to say thank you for rekindling a story I have not told in a long time and make me appreciate my mother even more than I do now.
The greatest memory I have with my mom would have to be the day she found out I was pregnant with a baby boy. She cried of joy because she knows God gave me this blessing that will be born Sept 4 2013 for a reason. That reason was that I’m going to be an amazing mom just like she is. She taught me well throughout the years and I know her words of wisdom will help me guide my little baby boy, David Alexander on the right path!
My mother has taught me how to persevere against all odds. Although she did not give birth to me, she truly mothered me into the woman I am today. She has always worked hard and been dedicated to empowering others to never settle for less than the full range of giftings inside of you. Now that i am a mother, I am leaving for my daughters, the rich inheiritance my mother gave to me.
My favorite memory I have with my Mom is when she flew out to California with me when I decided to move to Los Angeles. It rained 7 days straight when we got in, but we didn’t care. We just went shopping, decorated my apartment and had lots of girl time. She’s always helping me out and supporting me through whatever. <3
The greatest memory of my mom was the day my oldest sister passed away.. I was 16 and heart broken. My life was turned upside down. That night I learned a lot about life. But I also learned the strength of a mother.. My mother was so strong and held herself together for my two other sisters and I as well as my father… I wish I can be half of what my mother is. She has shared with me such kindness, love and strength through my life. It was a horrible day but when I look back I see a mother that stood strong for her loved ones.
One of my fave moments with my mom was when we were bonding and talking about her brother and parents (they have passed away) and I never met them so it was nice that even though it was so hard to talk about it felt like I knew them. From there we talked about my friends, school and boys. I’m grateful I can tell my mom almost anything (:
One of my favorite moments with my mom is being little and spending every moment with her! We were inseperable.
My mom has always been encouraging about my pursuit in an art career. I am studying Mechanical engineering at school but I run a small side business selling art prints. Art is a very unconventional career for my family of scientists but she knows it’s my passion and supports me. I recently got accepted into my first huge show and she has been helping me prepare. It’s a small gesture but I means a lot to me.
My favorite memorie with my mom is when i spend my free Times with her. She is my best friend and she will be always in my life.
When my mom was in the military, we got the opportunity to travel to different countries a lot. I remember about seven years ago when my mom and I took a trip to Venice, Italy. I was wearing a pair of my favorite heelys, which are basically sneakers with wheels at the bottom. To this day I still wonder why she even let me wear those things in a city literally on water, but I guess she trusted me. She did not, however, let me go anywhere near the inside of any of the glass jewelry shops that she went into, for the fear of me rolling into a shelf and knocking over something expensive. All I could do was admire the ornaments from the stores’ window. At the end of the day, on the train ride back home, I was still a little disappointed. My mom must have sensed this, because without saying a word, she pulled out a small box and gave it to me. I opened it, and inside were two baby blue and red glass rings. I still have those rings today. Although they do not fit me anymore, I can look at them now and always remember my favorite memory of my mom.
I really can’t pinpoint one event specifically but my best memories of my mom are when she is cooking in the kitchen and I sit to talk to talk to her about everything that’s been going on. This is my first year living away from home and there are definitely days I wish I could go home and sit in my kitchen while she listens and gives me advice. I will always cherish these memories the most.
My most memorable moment with my mother is when we designed my first necklace together. My mother makes jewelry (wire jewelry) and I started creating jewelry with her when I was fifteen. I remember us sitting in her craft room for hours working on that necklace. It was a simple wire necklace with a stone pendant. I fell in love with the craft that day and our connection as mother and daughter grew because I understood a passion of hers like no one else could. Now I’m in college studying entrepreneurship so we can start a business together.
One of my favorite memories that I had of my mother and I was helping her get ready for her graduation when she went to receive her Masters degree. Throughout my life my mother worked hard to raise my brother and I on her own. She felt that education was the most important gift that anyone coud have so she attended Saturday classes to obtain her Bachelors and then went back a few years after to obtain her Masters. Being able to partake in one of her life long goals and support her will always be inspiring!
My favorite memory with my Mom as a little girl was spending time with her in the car. I loved to make her laugh! My fave was making her laugh so hard as we pulled up to a drive through that she couldn’t even speak to place our order!!! She’s the best!
Although my mom and I have limitless memories, my favorite are the ones where we just simply get along and laugh together. For example, if we go out to dinner together and have a great conversation, or when I have a bad dream and she comes in my room and lays with me until I fall asleep. My mom rocks and I wouldn’t trade her for the world!
The amazing memory of my mother was the amazing human being she was on all levels. I lost her in October 2012. She was a mother and father to her children and a caretaker to her great grandchildren. She was my superhero! She was loving, caring, beautiful inside and out and my source for wisdom and enlightment! Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there!!!
First, I would like to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all moms. They are indeed special human beings! One of my favorite memories I would like to share about my mom is the day of my high school graduation. I will never forget how my mom was on that pivital day! You could not count the number of times she told me how proud she was of me or the number of smiles that was on her face that day! She showed me so much love and instilled so much confidence in me that day! And those “mom things” and so much more is what makes my mom such a remarkable woman that I look up to and strive to be like every day! Love ya mom!
My favorite memories with my mom are car rides. Despite the distance, we are able to somehow talk the entire way and “solve the worlds problems” as we like to say. The hardest times I have laughed are times when we are taking a trip together in a car and start laughing at out goofy we are. She is my absolute day friend in the world.
My mom and I have had our ups and downs. When I was younger my relationship with my mom was rough on her because I was such a selfish bad child. I remember many times when I was embarased/ashamed of my mom because I was focused on apperance and style. She would alway tell me in life their is only one mother and I needed to be proud of who she was. I never fully understood what she ment until I was much older. One of the many important lesson my mom shared with me is that no matter what anyone says I needed to be strong enough to be proud of who I am and where I came from like she was. I thank her every day for moulding me into the stong independant woman I am today. Love u momz
I always love the stories that come out of trips with my fun and loving mother. The best story by far was when we were relaxing by the pool in Palm Springs. I told my mom that she should try out the pool floating devices and that she could just relax on them. She decided to try one out and a couple minutes later it flipped over. She was only in 3 feet water but she was still freaking out. Some random guy relaxing on the side of the pool had to come ‘save’ her. Although at the time it was a bit scary at the time, we still can’t stop laughing about it to this day.
My favorite memory of me and my mom was when I was little and we used to live with my grandparents. My granddad use to wake up at 3 am and play his jazz records in the dining room. It would always wake us up, so we would sit up and talk about jazz music together. Still to this day, we listen to all kinds of jazz music 🙂
My favorite memory I have with my mother is when we were on vacation, my mom, stepdad and I went snorkeling. My stepdad told us to look out for sharks, of course we wer being silly and singing the Jaws theme song, Duuun dun Duuun dun dun dun dun dun. All of a sudden we see a fin came out of the water! Ahhhh, we start screaming and swimming toward shore, when we get there we look back my stepdad was still snorkeling, he didnt even know what happened. Haha too funny. The fin ended up being from a really big manta ray. I love my mother. We still laugh every time we tell this story. 😀
The first memory I have is of my mom. She was doing dishes and wearing a plaid mini-skirt and the window she was looking out of was dark and frosted at the edges. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful person in the whole world. I ran up to her and hugged her legs with my pudgy little toddler arms and she smiled down at me with a face full of love. That was my first and most favorite memory of my mom.
I remember when my mother graduated college at 49. I was so proud of her and that was the first time she looked proud and confident about herself. The moment she came off stage and came to take pictures, we looked at each other and it was overwhelming! My mom was a housewife before she divorced my due to an affair. We came to the U.S from a different country and she had to learn English and had to work after the divorce. She only had a foreign high school diploma and still managed to do it all and graduate college at 49 and that is why that’s my favorite memory.
My mom has always been by my side. I remember when I was younger she told me anything I put my mind to, I could do it and she was completely right. I have experienced so many positive things in life that she didn’t have the opportunity to and through me she has now had the opportunity. I wouldn’t replace her for anything in the world. I love you mom !!
My mom is a very straightforward person, and what I like about her is she’s very forgiving and never hates me even though I did something that makes her upset. One day I was such in a bad mood after going through some unfortunate events and I ended up spilling everything to her in a very loud voice, but she just laughed and told me that there’s bigger problems than this, and I should be able to handle it. I regret my abrupt words and said sorry to her afterward.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she took me to my first audition for a play outside of school. I was so nervous and crying and felt like I couldn’t do it; but she enouraged me by playing what is now one of my favorite songs, pulled me together, and I was able to go onstage and audition better than I ever had before. Even people who heard me sing before said they never heard me sing like that. And I KNOW I couldn’t have gotten through it without my mother. To this day, that memory is (I think) one of the reasons why I feel like I can do anything! I LOVE MY MOM!!!!! <3333
One day I was really upset because I just finished arguing with my boyfriend on the phone and my mom tried asking me what was wrong and I kind of snapped on her and gave her an attitude. I felt so awful later because I knew i had no right to take out my anger on her. So after I cooled down I told her I was sorry. In my head, I was preparing myself to have her tell me that it made her upset I told her to leave me alone but instead she told me ” I love you mami I just want you to be happy”. That was exacty what I needed to hear and It reminded me that all my mom wants is the best for me. Like a bestfriend, she knows exactly what to say to make me feel better and I know its genuine because she is my mother. She always tells me in spanish, “Don’t forget you only have one mother!”
I think the most deep and shocking memory with my mom was the time she hugged me and kissed me for the first time in 13 years. I know it’s messed up but we are a cold family and yes I’m sure she did it when I was a baby but as I was growing up she didn’t pay much attention to me as I wanted. But I love her too much to care for those negative details. P.s. I did cry when she hugged me. :/
One day I was looking at an old home video that we were using for a mother’s day gift, and there was a scene of my whole family with my brother and sister running around playing wildly with my father. Right there in the middle of the chaos, my mom was sitting holding me lifting me up and smiling. The love in her eyes was inexplicable. I have always known my mother loved me, but that was a true picture of my mother’s love that you do not typically get to experience. I am so happy I did.
My mom attended my graduation when I received my doctorate degree and she was super excited. I’ve been saying I’m going to be a doctor since I was 12. Even when I wanted to take a “break” from school she gave me a tremendous amount of support. The day I shook the president of my alma maters hand and took my oath she was the happiest I had ever seen her. A few short months later she passed away and she said at my graduation “All I needed to do is see my baby graduate”. That is my most fondest memory of my mother.
my favorite moment was being able to donate a kidney to my mom in 2006. it was great waking up in the hospital to know that everything went well
When I was ten years old, my grandmother had passed away and my mother had to travel overseas to be with her family through the tough times. As she was leaving to the airport, it felt as if a part of me was leaving me and made me appreciate how much it means to have a mother and have her always on your side. As she was leaving and about to sit inside the car to head to the airport, she pointed to my heart and said, “I’m always here, with you. I love you.” She started to tear up and left. But it made me realize how much I love her at the age of ten. We’ve been best friends since.
I have so many memories with my mom and all of them are important to me. I remember one time my mom and I were trying to be really sneaky and quiet in the house when we tried to make our way to the kitchen so my stepdad wouldn’t wake up. It was supposed to be a surprise. But as we were trying to be as quiet as possible all of a sudden my mom knocked a bunch of stuff over and then I dropped stuff…let’s just say the escapade did not go as planned. The best part is after we made literally as much noise as possible by accident my mom looked at me and I looked at her and we just started laughing. I remember we both laughed so hard that tears came out.
The best memory I have of my mother is when I gave birth to my son . she was there every step of the way holding my hand . and she knew just what to say when I thought I couldn’t make it through the birth. seeing her cry with joy she held my son is the greatest memory that I will ever have of my mom. the gift of life and love is truly a blessing.
When I was very young, about five or six, I came home crying from school. When asked why I was so upset by my mother I sobbed, “the kids at school say my eyes are brown because I’m full of poop. They called me poopy-eyes and poop-for-brains!” She told me that the eyes are windows to the soul and that mine was a sweet, warm chocolate soul. 🙂 She then made a surprise call to have my favorite radio station play Brown-eyed Girl by Van Morisson and said that brown eyed girls were just as beautiful as any other girl and I would always be her beautiful chocolate brown eyed girl. 🙂 We still are very close to this day! I always Pre-order delivered flowers to her every mothers day because she is in nova scotia and I’m in Ontario. I miss her 🙁 </3
I am thankful that I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. She is the most caring, understanding, beautiful, comforting, nicest, smartest, and the best person I know. I am very close to her. She always have taken care of my brothers and I in every way. She took us many places and she bought us but she didn’t spoil us. She taught us values and morals. She is the one who motivates me and she believes in my hopes, dreams, and desires. My best memory with her was going on vacation to Daytona Beach for the whole Spring Break. We enjoyed every moment. We had so much fun shopping and going to nice restaurants.
I was studying abroad and camping for 4 weeks in constant rain when I called my mom sobbing, from reading an ad in a magazine which stated, “mom’s are like super heroes” Indeed they are because the next week she came to visit. We went to a posh 7 course meal just for fun and were stuffed after the 2nd course (apparently we aren’t as posh as we thought hah) We went shopping to quaint ma n’ pop shops and then to top it off as she was leaving, she surprised me with the luxury series thermorest sleep mat… the tears overflowed. I know it seems small, but I had bruised on my hips from my barely padded ‘sleep mat’ Sometimes, you just want to be comfortable. My mom and I fight, snuggle, argue, shop, watch endless hours of Downton abbey and Carey Grant movies, but most of all we always stick by one another no matter what. She’s the strongest woman I’ve ever known with outstanding class and selflessness. She gained her masters in ministry to start a woman’s ministry program in our area, she’s constantly consoling women with expecting nothing in return but a friend. I can’t imaging my world without my mom. I’m constantly hearing a new story about how she’d changed someone’s life or saved someone’s marriage.
The memory that immediately comes in mind is one that happened not too long ago. My mum told me in confidence that she hoped she had been a good mother to me, because there had been some troubles in our family (my brother has autism) When I reassured her that she couldn’t have done it any better, and that she made me the person I was today, tears sprung in her eyes and she gave me a big hug. My mum is a strong person and I can count the times she cried in front of me on 1 hand, so this meant a great deal to me.
I have lots of memories but my fav of them all is my graduation from college that happened to be on Mother’s Day. My mom was a teenage mother who instilled nothing but hard work and education in me. So when I became the first of my family to graduate from college was the best thing my mother could ever ask for. She cried like a baby the entire ceremony and when I finally accepted my degree she asked me is my makeup ruined! We burst into a laughter that’ll never be forgotten.
I have a lot of favorite memories with my mommy. But if i could choose one memory that I have cherished and never did forget is when my mom and I would go shopping together in my elementary days for school clothes and supplies. Now that Im graduating from High School and I wont be going to college because we dont have the money, there wont be no more times like those where it would just be the both of us shopping for school and having girl time! I would get so excited when my mom wakes me up in the morning and tell me we was going school shopping! She would make it so exciting for me! We would first go to walmart and buy my supplies and she would always buy me a barbie toy because she knew I loved barbies. Then we would go buy my school clothes and i remember when she would buy herself something like a shirt, she would buy a matching one for me too. I can say I miss those just us days! I loooove my mommy!!!!! Shes the best!
Growing up my mom and I were not the closest. I was the ultimate daddy’s girl. However this past year, my dad was in a horrible car accident were I had no one to turn to but my mother. My father was in the hospital for weeks, but through sadness and tragedy came something good. Through the above mentioned event, my mom and I became close since no one else knew exactly what we were going through or the emotions that we had. My favorite memory of my mom n I was being in the hospital with her and crying on her shoulder and not having to speak one word because I knew she felt what I felt. Having someone there for you is hard to find but through the tragedy I have become close to my mom and have many fond memories with my mom. No one can take her place, she is the definition of a strong haute mom!
My mom is literally the best. She has always been there for me in every aspect of my life. She has helped me through so much and I thank her for that! My favorite memory of my mom is when iwas little and my dad would be my coach for my sports teams (basketball, volleyball, softball, and soccer) she would come to every game and sit in the stands and cheer me on. She has always been there for me. I love her
“Mama Knows best”, whenever you need her she is there for you, to cry or to laugh every time counts. My childhood was the best of the best, and the major reason is because my mama was always there for me, she leaved her beloved work just for me, she wanted to be by my side all the time. Mothers should be congratulated every month, week, day, hour and second. They risked their figure, and fun things just to have us, to give us LIFE, nothing compares to that feeling that I have when I laugh out loud with my mama it’s simply unique, it’s more than support, it’s an eternal union since that moment they knew we were coming till forever. THANK YOU MAMA I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK IN TURTLE STEPS <3
My mom and I are best friends, we always go out and talk about life. My mother was not allowed to go to school and had to work since the age of 13 when she immigrated to America. My favorite memory with my mom hasn’t occurred yet, but I know it will be this June when I graduate from college. It’s an experience my mother never got, she didn’t even get to graduate middle school. Although she never got those experiences she always encouraged me to study and stay in school. She went to every one of my award ceremonies. My mom sacrificed alot for me, she was my mom, my dad, my friend, and my guardian angel. All her hard work will pay off when I walk across that stage and begin my future. It will be the beginning to even more amazing memories with my amazing mother.
The greatest thing about my mom is how well she is at being a mother! She thinks about me through and through and she is a very hard working women. No matter the mistakes I have made she still loves me. Her love is unconditional. There is not a single moment that I treasure most with her, every moment is the best one. She is funny smart, crazy, weird, bipolar, and many more lol. It is always a good time to be with her. However, because she have diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure along with one side of her heart enlarged, I am terribly worried about her. Not to mention, she LOVES sweets. I pray that she will live to be an old woman, to see me graduate school, get a job, to be at my wedding, to babysit my children. I wish for her to be there in my future, she is the best mom I could ask for and with all my heart, I love her very much.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she dropped me off at school, and I had forgotten to kiss her good bye. I think I was mad at her for a dumb reason. When I got home my dad had told me how hurt my mom was, that I didn’t give her a kiss good bye. I felt so bad because he said he had tears in her eyes. So when she came home from work, I tackled her to her bed and I gave her kisses all over her face. I told her how much I loved her and she gave me a big hug. Since she didn’t want me to see her cry, she told me to go clean something until dinner was ready. I love my mom.
My mom and I don’t have a great memory together. Every time we are together is a great memory in of itself. She is able to put up with my attitude and I highly value her for that. Although I try not to be bratty, sometimes I get help myself and am mean towards her. She understands my personality and puts up with it while no one else I know can. I love my mom so much. Because she’s a typical Asian mom, she butchers a lot of English words and we always have a good laugh. I’m a full time student so it’s hard for me to buy her gifts that she’d enjoy. I do my best to give her something she’d like on Mother’s Day like burning a CD with her favorite songs for her. I just hope I’ll make enough money in the future to be able to buy things she likes.
My favorite memory of my mom is I is when we went on vacation to St. Martin. Back in 2008 when i was 20yrs old my mom and I spent a week in St. Martin we took a tour of the island, I got to try new foods and every beach we went to looked like it came right off a post card or google search. BUT!!!!! This one night on the island we went to this dinner and show thing that they were having on the resort that we were staying at. They had island dancers and this guy who was singing and making jokes. Now will the show was goin on I really had to go to the bathroom but I didn’t want to get up because I didn’t want the guy to make any jokes about me. But I couldn’t hold it so I get up and as u make my way to the bathroom the man tells out ” HEY LEGS”!!!! I was so inbarested. So from that day one well we were on the island everyone who seen me called me “Legs” including my mom. My mom wouldn’t let me live that name down for the whole summer. Good times!!!!!!
My favorite memory with my mom is so hard to choose because there are so many but if I had to choose one, one that stands out the most were Sunday mornings as a child. Every Sunday my two brothers and I would slide into bed with my mom until she woke up and we would play with the dogs right in her bed. We would play in there for hours and laugh so hard. My mom and I talk often of these times, times of such pure fun with no worries at all with great appreciation. Just last year my oldest brother passed away and I don’t think that without such a strong independent single mother that helped create wonderful memories like these, I would not have been able to get through that time in my life. My mom is the best mom ever.
The best Memory with this lady that’s like a second mom is she taught me how to be a young lady with class & fashion but the young lady has turned into a woman. That second mom is my auntie she taught me everything took care of me & i love her!
my favourite memory with my mom is everyday. she is my best friend and i can always count on her to be there for me. she is literally the most fiendly person you will ever meet. everywhere she goes people know her by name and can hear her coming from a mile away! i especially love the fact that she recently lost 70 pounds and now we can share our entire closets including shoes! (woo) aside from all that, she truly is a great person and all her family and friends (and even strangers) love her to pieces. xx
My mom is the strongest woman I know. She always knows the right thing to say and she is so wise. One day I was just really upset, crying, and falling apart because I felt like I wasn’t enough and she told me “Why do you think you’re nothing? Can’t you see what everyone else sees in you? You are a beautiful, strong, smart girl who can do anything and be anything. You are amazing and I thank God he gave me you.”
one of my favorite memories was preparing dinner with my mom, that’s a happy moment !
Well, there are many memories I have with my mom whether they may be good or bad. Despite having our bad memories the good sure does out weigh those memories. First, describing my mom would be the best way to start this off. Every one says their mom is the best because that’s what there trained to do. My mom is the most incredible, loving, kind hearted, strict, God fearing mother ever. My best memory with my mom is dancing with her! Yup, we dance together. She’s 52 and she’s the most energetic mother ever. More energetic than I am. Lol. Well we had a duet together and seeing my mom dance with tears flowing from eyes made me proud that she’s my mom. I saw this and I started crying too.. Not because I see her crying but the fact that God blessed me with such a beautiful and Godly mother really touches my heart. After our dance everyone said that it was a very touching dance and people even cryed also. This was not the most fun memory but just being around my mom gives me joy. And it may sound like we’re the best mother and daughter but we sure do have our arguments but they sure do end well. One thing I’ve learned from the memory is that I should never be shameful to cry around people. Always let my feelings out when I find it necessary. I love my mom to death and I’ll always be there for her like she has always been there for me. Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers and God Bless! ❤
One of my favorite memoeries with my mom is when we went to Flagstaff Arizonia it was hot and smoke was in the air. there was smoke because their where alot of forest fires. We rode horses and stayed in a cabin and fished in a tiny pond. now that i think about it they werent horses they were mules and pretty cool ones at that. It was an all out great weekened with my mom.

A favorite memory of my mom and I was when we went on a vacation together. It was spring time and my mom had decided that we should go away together she said “I want to take you to a place where the flowers are the most beautiful just like my daughter”. This made me very happy, because growing up I didn’t have a lot of people around me, it had always been me and my mom just us two best friends, she always did my shopping for me; she was the closest to me and still remains so, despite our separation, since I now stay with my dad and brother, I miss my mom everyday. She always calls to ask how I’m doing, although I can’t do a lot of shopping on my own and own mostly hand me downs, I would like to show my mom that she need not to worry about me, that I’m doing fine, I’d love to send her a picture of my new clothes if I win the shopping spree.
My favorite memory of my mom is her excitement over the art I made of everyday objects, such as flowers out of pencil shavings and hearts out of wax. She always encouraged my creative side, and that creativity has served me well, no matter what field I was in.
My mom and I recently went to New York City, and we really had a great time! I always hear about everyone having “Mommy and Me days,” but I don’t have those too much. Everyday is like mommy and me day for me. But that day in New York was so special. We walked around for hours, got lunch, talked, and went to see Wicked! It was such an incredible experience. I remember when something exciting would happen on stage, we would look at each other, and without having to say anything, we knew what each other was thinking. It was just the perfect day. She made my 14th birthday special, and now I want to make her Mothers Day Fantastic. <3
My family (me, hubby & kids) and my Mom went to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada last summer. She (mom) dreamed to come to the USA, and I was able to make her dream come true and even took her to Canada, for her to see her cousin as well that she haven’t see for almost 10 yrs. For my mom, it was a memorable one for her, for me it was an fulfilling achievement – to see her happy.
Happy Mother’s Day!
My favorite memory shared with my mom was when we went thrift shopping for the first time. The greatest deal I got was a $7 Abercrombie and Fitch jeans, while my mom bought a blouse. We were in the store for hours, and it was so much fun!
I have a lot of good memories with my mom, and, actually with my grandma too. One of the best, or the ost important to me it’s when I started taking ballet clases. My dad and brother too, didn’t think I could do it cause I wasn’t as young as I should be, and my dad always said to y mom that she was making me an arrogant person or something like that… But my mom didn’t care cause she had her faith on me, she always had it and she still believes in me. So, my mom and grandma paid me an intensive course on summer when I could win a scholarship and then it happens, I got the scholarship and I still go to ballet and it was all beacause of my two lovely mothers, My mom (Ari) and grandma (eva) And I love them
My mom is one of the best MOM i’ve ever known. One of my favorite memory with my mom was at the airport. That was the last time i saw her 5 years ago. I really missed my mom. I am miles and miles away from her and with my other family, relatives and friends. Hope one day i could see her few years from now. She’s so patient, kind and a prayerful mom. She made me even more tougher in facing the challenges of life. Being a mom she treats all of us siblings fairly. Though we are a huge family, but she was able to raised us pretty well in all aspects of our lives. I miss her so badly and i love her so much! :))
We Always,went For IceCream every other Weekend ,when i was,younger !
My favorite (and most embarrassing) memory with my mom was when I was about ten-years-old and got my period for the first time. My mom had noticed that I had some red spots on my shorts, and being the innocent ten-year-old that didn’t know anything about puberty or periods yet, I freaked out and started crying. I remember my mom teaching me how to put on a pad (LOL) and feeling very uncomfortable. After that, my mom took me to Walgreens and she bought me a Kim Possible coloring book, a lime green sand pillow, and candy to make me feel better. I know this is such an embarrassing “getting-my-period” story, but that is one of my most favorite memories of me with my mom because it just shows how much she has always cared and loved me, and I hope one day to be able to reciprocate the love back to her <3
Growing up, my mom taught all 7 of her children, she gave up her career to ensure that we were gettig a good education. She is in her 50’s now and is still teaching her two youngest and will be for another seven years. My favorite memory is when she would gather all seven of us into the biggest bedroom and read us a story every single night, it was one of the few times during the day we were all together.
A great memory I have with my mom is when she took me to college my freshman year. After an early morning 4 hour drive, my mom insisted I hurry and get the bed made. I thought she was excited to see my dorm begin to come together yet she only desired my bed to be made so she can nap lol.
I’m really close with my mom and one day we were going in for a hug and I ended up sniffing her by accident. She thought it was funny and started sniffing me too. Now whenever we text we say hugs, kisses, and sniffs! 🙂 I love my mom!
My favorite memory with my mom was dancing our mother/daughter dance at my wedding. We danced to one of my favorite spanish songs “piquito de oro” that i dedicated to her.
My favorite memory with my mom is when I took her to the spa for Mother’s Day. It was a total surprise. I was in high school then so I had her drive around but she had no idea where we were going. When we pulled up in front of Heavenly Massage all she could do is cry. I treated her to a hour massage, a facial, and mani/pedi. I think that was the best Mother’s Day she ever had!! That spa day was much needed for her….
My relationship with my mom hasn’t been the best until I left for college. I guess my leaving was when our relationship finally began. We became closer knowing that we’re not living under the same roof anymore. I go to college in southern California and my family lives in northern California. It doesn’t seem as far, but to my mom, it’s really far. Whenever I come home to visit, my mom is in the kitchen, preparing my favorite meals for me. Growing up, I believed that my mom practically lived in the kitchen because she’s always in there cooking for our family. I love that she cares so much for me and my brother. She cooks 3 meals everyday since she got married and I love her so much for that because a lot of my friends’ moms don’t cook for them. I’m so happy to have a mom so I can share my girl secrets and problems with. Being at school and living in a dorm has made me realized how much I love my mom and it’s made our relationship much stronger than before.
not sure if i posted yesterday during the ‘hiccup’ so here goes again.
my favorite memory of my mom and me is going to the beach together just her and i. nowadays with the kids we barely get to hang out just the two of us so i really treasure those memories.
One of the things I love about my mom is she is always borrowing my shoes and jewelry even though she is 43 and I am 13. My foot is getting bigger now so I give her my shoes. I have even stretched out a few of her shoes just by wearing them. I have become so close with my mom because of these moments. I love to give her fashion advise and help her pick out outfits! We have bonded so much during these times and I am so grateful for her.
when we went to disney together it was very cool we laughed all day and had amazing experiences together and it was very funny the time we got lost in knotts and the tour bus left without us AHAHHAAHA it has hilarious
One of my favorite memories and probably the most meaningful is when I was real young and I had moved away with a boyfriend to a different state. The pain I caused her when I left was unfair and I knew it. I missed her so much, everyday I wished I could see her but she was too far away. One day I decided things weren’t going well so I decided to move back with her. I thought she would recent me for everything I had done but she forgave me so easily because she loves me and she’s my mother. I had made a mistake and she understood. When my plane arrived and I got home she took me into her arms as one day I had wished I could hug her, that day I could do more than that. I do not wish to leave her side again, I want to be with her always. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers <3.
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when we would sit on her bed and talk about what I want in life, and how I was going to get there. She tells me stories and gives me the best advice during these talks. I love my mom!
My favorite memories of my mom, are the Halloween ones. We would make my costume together every year, even if she had just worked a double-shift.
My favorite memories of my mom and I are whenever we go to concerts together. I’m always so proud to tell my friends that I’ve been to a concert with my mom because I know most moms and daughters aren’t as close as she and I are, and I love that we share similar tastes in music and can spend time together doing something we both enjoy.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom occurred this past thanksgiving. My four siblings and I were gathered around the table after dinner and we began to discuss what we planned on buying Mom for christmas. With five of us, sometimes it’s difficult to come up with different ideas and we always check with one another so Mom doesn’t end up with 5 bathrobes. After discussing for a while and not coming up with anything significant, we begged Mom for ideas. Her response was the usual “You don’t need to buy me anything, your presence is enough”. Well we weren’t giving up! We grabbed a piece of paper and handed her a pencil and told her to give us at least 3 gift ideas. She sat for a while and then began writing. I was a little surprised we had convinced her and I watched as she began writing furiously. I wondered what her list would consist of, a new bag perhaps? After she finished writing she set the paper down in front of us and we looked over at the list. She had listed 5 things she wanted and none of them were materialistic. She asked that one of my sisters eventually move closer to home, she wanted my eldest sister to spoil herself more because she worked so hard as a nurse. She wanted me to continue working hard and finish optometry school and she wanted my brothers to finish college. We sat there and realized how silly we were, we realized the things that made her happy were seeing us succeed. And even though she got a watch for christmas that year, everyday stressful day I experience in my program I remember how important it is to do my best, so that I can make her proud everyday.
My favorite memory of me and my mother when she was alive,is when she use to take me on secret shopping trips after picking me up from high school. We both love shop and it made our bond even closer. Love you mom! Rest in peace.
my favourite memory with my mom was taking care of my now 6-year-old brother, and at the moment, she has a newborn baby girl and i can’t wait to watch her grow up as well. 🙂 love my family. <3 bless
When my Mom walked to my school to bring cupcakes to my third grade class that she had baked for my birthday.
My parents divorced when I was in high school and my mom was in a really dark and bad place. The two of us moved into an apartment from a house for the first time in her life and we became very close. As I ventured off to college and eventually got married the memories began to fade. I will never forget the day I got engaged though. It was my birthday and she wanted the day to be perfect. We went to lunch and got manicures. At dinner that evening (after I was proposed to) I was surprised to see my mom waiting at the dinner table to celebrate with us. The happiness on her face was something I had not seen since her and my dad were happily married. She is a wonderful mom who always put her kids first.
When i was little i used to “help” my mom iron the clothes. I had my little ironing board and iron toy and i would grab a shirt and “iron it” and when finished i’d put it on the side. But i always saw my mom sneaking behind me to grab the clothes i had already “ironed” and she would iron it herself. Then i would say “but i already did that clothes” and she would say “im just gonna give it its final touch” so i would let it go 🙂
Back when I was about 5 years old, my mother was in the kitchen cooking up a traditional Spanish dinner. I remember it being a nice spring weekend. My mother was blasting her salsa music and dancing around as if no one were watching. My mom finished up dinner and was waiting for the food to cool down. All the while,she grabbed my hand and took me on the porch and began instructing me on how to dance salsa. I remember looking at my mom and smiling after every salsa step that I had done correctly. Now, I love dancing salsa. With every twist and turn I make at my family gatherings. It all dates back to that moment my mom took my hand and danced me through a lifetime of smiles, laughter, tears, hugs, happiness, tragedies and triumph. I don’t know where I would if it wasn’t for being such an awesome Mom.
I am thankful that I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. She is the most caring, understanding, beautiful, comforting, nicest, smartest, and the best person I know. I am very close to her. She always have taken care of my brothers and I in every way. She took us many places and she bought us stuff that we wanted but she didn’t spoil us. She taught us values and morals. She is the one who motivates me and she believes in my hopes, dreams, and desires. My best memory with her was going on vacation to Daytona Beach for the whole Spring Break. We enjoyed every moment. We had so much fun shopping and going to nice restaurants. Happy Mother’s Day, mom! 🙂
I remember when I was about 7 years old we went to a theme park called Cedar Point. I got lost from everyone else. Lol kind of like Home Alone. I was riding all the ride without a care in the world. Finally someone saw that I was alone after maybe 2 hours.When I got to the office I saw my moms face it was priceless. Tears in her eyes as if she had lost her soul and saw a ghost at the same time. I knew then I never wanted to do anything to see that face again. It wasn’t sad I loved her more.
The greatest memory i have with my mother was on my wedding day. I grew up without my father in my life and my mom was the only person who raised me. So when the day came that i got married and it was time to pick someone to walk me down the aisle, my family said that i could pick an uncle or a family friend but thats not what i wanted. The person who deserved to give me away to the man i chose to start a new life with was the person who had helped me become the women he fell in love with and that was my mother. And when my wedding day came and she walked me down the aisle, I could see that my mom was the proudest and happiest she has ever been and that is a memory that she and i will have forever.
My mom and I make such a good team! We went cross-country from California to Iowa!! We camped in Yellowstone and had fun adventures all week long. Driving through the badlands at night during the scariest most colossal lightning storm I have ever seen and my mom was terrified, but I told her that we are safe in the car and we made it just fine to our camp site! It’s funny when you get to see the human side to your super-mom!
Some of the best memories I’ve ever received from my mother were that she always gave me the freedom to express myself. My mother has never stifled my creativity and I thank her every day for the opportunities she gave me and the experiences she never, ever attempted to hold me back from. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her and her loving memories. I can still remember being 9 years old and asking my mother to take me to the local thrift store to buy clothes and books and almost anything my heart desired. She allowed me to be who I am and I love her for that.
I am so blessed to have the best mommy in the world. There isn’t enough word for me to tell how much I love her. Being a Vietnamese immigrant, who just came to the United States for three years, it’s really difficult for my family to start everything of our life all over again and to keep a livelihood in here. However, my dad, my sister, my brother and I have always had my mom to support us physically and emotionally. I know that my mom had the option to stay in Vietnam, but I know she decided to come here because of my sister, my brother and me. She wanted us to have a better future than her and my dad. She wanted us to be able to have the opportunity for a better education and better career, which we weren’t able to and won’t be able to have in my country. I remember the first time I had ever saw my mom cried. When we first came into USA, my uncle was nice to us, but after ten days, he wanted us to get out of his house with a simple reason: he didn’t want to go in debt to take care of my family. It could be understandable if not for the fact that he has hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. We thought everything would turn out right after we moved in with my other uncle in Austin, but history repeated itself, once again, we were homeless. Although my parents put all of their dignity aside and begged them to let us stay in order for my siblings and me to continue our education, they showed no mercy at all. Blood is thicker than water, but at that moment, money triumphed over blood, and no matter how many tears drop, some people still love their money more than family. I witnessed my mom cried and begged other people in hopeless, I couldn’t do anything to help her. My family just felt like we were completely betrayed by the people that we respected and loved the most. How could they do this to us? If my dad didn’t stop her, my mom would have kill herself right after my family was kicked out, and now I would be living my misery, living without my mom. Three years have gone by, my family is now living in a better condition, and all thanks to my mom. She has devoted so much for us, and I love her so much for this. I know that this would probably the saddest memory I have with my mom, however it is the most unforgettable memory for me. I still remember that moment I saw my mom cried, I promise myself I will become the best person I can be, go to the greatest college in state, and get the best career to support my family in the future, and to make my mommy proud. I love my mom, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my personal story.
My mom and I once went to a my first Black Friday sale two years ago. It was the first time we truly talked to each other as friends after some rough years going through puberty. She tries to understand me, and even though sometimes I’m utterly and completely disrespectful and misbehaved, she still doesn’t give up and tries to understand me. I love her so much and I’m blessed to have her.
Dey Bm really stepping up and taking care of my siblings and I through thick and thin. Always being there for us!
when my mom used to hide our Easter baskets and make little notes from the “Easter Bunny” saying how to find our Easter Baskets. she used to leave little bunny paper footprints leading to the baskets. she used make us hamburger shaped birthday cakes, bake real Gingerbread houses and make Santa notes for us too…my mom was so creative and still is. i even have adapted the “notes” for my own kids. memories i will treasure and pass on to my children forever. i seriously used to think there was magic when the tooth fairy took my tooth, when it was actually my mom. i love her so much.
My favorite Memory of my Mom and I would have to be when my entire family went to Coco Keyes indoor water park this past January. My Mom was receiving chemotherapy treatments at the time due to breast cancer and she had lost all of her hair. When we got to the water park my Mom took off her hat to reveal her bald head and her courage and strength to do that just about brought tears to my eyes. She is so inspiring and brave and even though she got the stares and whispers she didn’t even pay mind to it. Just being in her presence is a blessing! We all had the most wonderful time ever and I am so glad to say that my Mom is now cancer free. I will never forget that day, that was the day when I witnessed my Mom do the most inspirational act I will ever see!
One of the best memories I share with my mom was on Saturday afternoons as a child. She’d pop up a big bowl of popcorn, and we’d sit on the couch with my siblings, enjoying Elvis movies. Over 30 years later, we both still love Elvis movies and music. Let’s hear it for the King!
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when I was pregnant with my son…her reaction when I was going into labor she was there with me while my husband was out of town for the military! I will never forget how she was bouncing off the walls like a 2 yr old on candy. She was there for me and I will never forget her reaction an giving herself a headache lol!! Hope I will good luck !!
My favorite memory of my mother and I is of when I was a little girl and I would follow her to the open market. So many different things to see and experience! I’d ask her what the name of each fish was, she’d tell me the names of the all the different veggies, and we would try side dishes and buy the ones we liked best. Every vendor would comment on how much we look alike which made my mom smile. And when we were done shopping she’d buy sugar coated doughnuts that can only be bought at the open market. We shared them when we got home, and they were delicious!
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when we traveled all the way to New Jersey to get my prom dress.. we both never been there ,so it was just me , her , and a GPS . Eventually we found the store and it took some time , but my prom dress is absolutely BEAUTIFUL .
– thanks mommy
One of my favorite memories with my mom was when, after I had surgery on my spine, I started to get sick and they couldn’t figure out why. My mom got me macaroni and cheese, shish kebabs and fruit punch gatorade. She feed it to me, then helped the nurse bathe me and get me back in the bed. All night she laid in the bed with me. I was freaking out scared I was dying and she promised me that they were going to figure out what was wrong with me. That in a couple of months I would be back in school, playing volleyball and watching my New York Giants and Pittsburgh Penguins on television yelling at them when they do something wrong or loose.
One of my favorite moments with my mother was telling her I was pregnant. It wasn’t the best situation or timing but she was supportive and caring at the same time. At that moment she showed me exactly what type of mother I want to be. Because of her I am a mother.
My favorite memory of my mother and I would be in September 2nd, 2010. I had never been close to my mother. On the other hand since I met my dad at age 7, I wanted to grow a relationship with him like I saw and envied in movies. On that night I had witnessed my father bring a stranger in front of our home which had broken me completely because he had promised me to never cheat on my mom again and I believed him. Since that day, I realized that I had been searching for love in all the wrong places because mothers are the ones who are with you before the day you are born. They fill you up with unconditional love and will do any sacrifices in order to see you happy. Seeing my mom defend me from my dad and others on that night was the best memory I could ever ask for because I finally saw how much she loved me and how much I loved her in return. Happy Mother’s Day.
My favorite memory with my mom happened shortly after her mother passed away. This happened more than six years ago. I remember her being so sad that nothing felt normal anymore. Although I was young, the change was hard for me to. During this time my mother and I bonded. My mother’s dad paid for my family and I to go to Disney World with my mom’s sister’s family. He felt that we all needed a vacation. It was sad, but also very happy. My mom went on every roller coaster with me. It was so nice to see her smile again. Although the death of my grandmother has tremendously impacted my life, it was not all bad. Now my mother and I look back on the good things. I truly love my mom and everything that she does for me. My mother is truly an incredible woman and I know that her mom is proud of her just as I am.
My favorite memories and favorite things to do with my mom is lie down on her bed and to play with my dogs,create crazy songs and talk about any stuff and have a good time.It’s simple,but it’s magical.
My favorite memory of my mom is when it was my parents 15th anniversary and he bought her a new ring. True love.
I simply can not pin point one particular moment because I believe that everyday with my mommy is special! Thats it maybe, having a great relationship will some day be a memory and one that I will remember forever!
When I was little every night before bed my mom would let me say a little prayer she taught me every night she tucked me in. I couldn’t sleep without her coming to tuck me in and listening to me say my prayer. I would leave my light on and tell down the stairs waiting for her. To this day I still remember and silently say the prayer before bed every night. That’s my favorite memory!
One of the greatest memories I have of me and my mother is when I was around 11 years old. My mother was a dance teacher and I was a dance student. The teachers had an idea to dance together for a mother daughter dance to ‘I Hope You Dance’. It was a moment that brought me and my mother to a closeness and understanding that can never be broken. We shared not only the love of dance together but the love for each other. That memory means the world to me now that I am grown up. She is the most beautiful and inspiring woman in the world.
My mother is such a giving caring woman to her kids, grand kids, family and friends. Shes always there when someone needs her, she was the care givier of my great grandfather for many years , she stoped living her life to care for him. And now she helps me and my sister take care or my dad who is dying from alzheimer they been divorce for more than twenty years but she still there for him , she has thought me to be a mother but most important a selfless human being and to lovev others no matter what. Love you mom
I have many memories of me & my mom but my favorite would have to be when I was about 6 years old. My mom had this purse that she wore & every time she would put her hand in there to get something the purse would russle. So one day she was cleaning out her purse & she told me to put the stuff into the garbage from her purse but instead I put it in my purse. Later on that day she asked me for something & I went russling around in my purse for it & “she’s like what do you have in that purse?” Then she looked in there & when she noticed it was all the stuff she told me to throw away from her purse she just laughed.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep.
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment. <3
My mom gathered all three of my siblings and I and opened the front door–waiting for us all to file out. We went out onto the front porch, but when she came out with three cereal boxes we realized that we weren’t going anywhere. She put the baby in a swing and then handed the rest of us a box. I noticed then that each of the cereal boxes were our individual favorites. Mine was Lucky Charms. It was the only time mom didn’t get after us for eating straight out of the box. We sat there and just enjoyed the day.
A memory I will never forget with my mom is bungi jumping together in vegas at the stratosphere hotel. A time that both of us checked off on our bucket list.
My mom is the strongest person I know. Not only did she have 6 kids, all naturally, but she was also in an awful accident and that’s when I realized just how strong she was. My mom amputated her hand in a wood splitter in the summer of 2005, 3 days before the 4th of July. Every summer we would go to my grandma’s campground to help out and part of that was splitting wood for campfires. My mom left her hand in between the log and the blade for just a second too long. My dad and I went running to her yell for help. My dad went running through the woods and I went down a trail where my brother who was 6 at the time told me “mommy cut off her hand”. My heart sank. When I got to my mom she was lying on the ground and my dad was on his way back up to the house to get our car. He told me not to leave her. However, my mom told me to give her my shirt and to go to the house to call 911. She was completely calm. I told her I couldn’t because dad told me not to leave her but she said I needed to call 911 and to take my brother with me, as he had followed me back to her. I did as she told me and called 911 at the house. By the time I got back to where she had been lying, my dad had already picked her up and was on the way to the hospital. I got in a van with my older brother, grandma and some campers who were driving us to the hospital. On the way there, we saw an ambulance on the side of the road and we pulled over. I got out of the van and saw that my mom was in the back of the ambulance but my dad was nowhere to be found. The EMTs told my dad they couldn’t give her any pain medication or take her to the hospital because he didn’t have his insurance card nor his wallet with either of their drivers licenses. My mom just laid in the back of the ambulance still calm. I yelled at the EMTs to take my mom to the hospital and that I would begin to fill out the paperwork. Eventually they subsided and took her to the hospital. We were in a small town and the hospital did not have the capabilities needed to help my mom. Eventually they life-flighted her to a major hospital. I never once saw my mom show pain or fear. The hospital that took her completed 5 surgeries and were able to reattach her hand. They said it was a complete miracle she didn’t bleed out. Of course my mom is right handed and it was her right hand that was amputated. After a lot of work and physical therapy she has most of the function back in her hand. She got right back to being a mother of six and pushed through all the pain. She truly amazes me and this memory is constantly on my mind because I see what she is able to do everyday after her accident. I am beyond proud to call her my mother.
One of the greatest memories I have with my mom is when I was little and she used to buy those one-time use Kodak cameras where you had to swipe the black thing a numerous amount of times after taking each picture, because back at the time we couldn’t afford the other cameras. However, she still found time to buy one for each and every occasion that I had: Graduations, Flower Girl, Birthdays, field trips, etc. Nothing has stopped her. Each time she has shown that she truly cared. I love my mom, forever and always!!!
My favorite memory with my mommy so far in my life was when I was a child. My mommy did everything for me when I was growing up. She made sure I had everything I wanted and was always happy. I love my mommy so much and I’m so blessed to have a mother as loving as her. I wouldn’t know where I would be without her.
My most memorable Mother’s Day was about 20 yrs ago.I spent the day with my mother and her mom.We had brunch and a shopping day.We walked for miles seemed like around the mall until I thought my feet would fall off but what a great day!Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and grandmas!
My favorite memory of my mom and I is when I had a PICC line inserted in my arm for IV antibiotics for Lyme Disease. My mom gave me my daily infusions, and was always there for me, encouraging me and comforting me on difficult days. She has always been there for me since birth, and is my best friend. I love her so much, and am proud to be her daughter.
The favorite memory of me and my mom is when I was a elementary! She would always dress me up and do my hair really prettily.
How I miss those moments! Time flies by so fast!
Thanks for this contest.
One of my favorite memories I have with my mom was when she woke me up super early one morning with a glow of bliss across her face and told me she wanted to have her own store. I didn’t think much of it and just said oh that’s good, and for four years she kept saying this. I never thought that it would come true, but as of April 3rd her consignment store in a little place like Shelby, NC has been going for two years, strong. I have never seen my mother so happy, and I am so glad she proved me and everyone else who doubted her wrong. I am so proud of my mother and all of her success. Her willingness to never give up on her dreams, despite what others have to say, has inspired me to follow after my own dreams whole heartedly and I am happy to say that I’ll be taking up entreprenuership as my major in the Fall.
One of my favourite memories as a child was making different arts and crafts and other creative things with my mom on the weekends and during summer vacation. She would teach me how to sew, make my own shorts and skirts, and how to paint, draw, etc. One of my favourite things we used to do together was melt crayons with candles to make wax art!
One of my favorite memories happened to be yesterday with my mom. My first prom was last night and my mother helped me get al gussied up after being on a 6 week trip (she came home early just for last night!). I bought my heels from lulus and they just so happened to be 5.25″. A decent amount of heel that I had to get used to walking in, but my mom taught how to walk in them with confidence and ease. A perfect way to start a lovely night. Along with teaching me how to walk in these heels, she also taught me how to be confident no matter what. Getting ready with my mom was a memory I can treasure forever, along with the ones that I hope to make with her on this mothers’ day weekend.
PS. The pictures were hilarious considering she’s only 4’11 and I ended up being a towering(for her) 5’7
My favorite memory is when my mother & I went to find my prom dress, it was fun and of course hectic because we had to look for it last year so she could be with me to help pick it out plus she wanted me to try on so many and she’s so opinionated so of course we were dying laughing about the crazy things she said. This is my favorite memory because picking out your prom dress and your wedding dress are the special moments for your mom and we have been separated for 2 years and she’s like my bestfriend so everytime we see each other, we have to create memory after memory after memory to hold us over until the next time we see each other. I love my mom & I can’t wait to be reunited with her in a few weeks to get ready for my hectic graduation. 🙂
My favorite memories of my Mom are our weekly Saturday afternoon lunch and shopping expeditions.
all my life its only been me and my mom,my dad was never in the picture so its only been me and her. one of my favorite memories is from when i was 12 years old, me and my mom liked to take a lot of road trips and one day 2 of our tires popped in the middle of no where! that day she showed me how to change a tire. its funny to me that my mom taught me that. so far my tire has only popped twice lol but i’m glad she showed me how:p
One of my favorite memories of my mother is when we adopted our dog Jack. I was volunteering at an animal shelter and she had come to pick me up. The decor was all set up for a valentines day celebration with red hearts and streamers everywhere! I watched her walk in the door and look into the eyes of the fluffy little mutt puppy and could see her just melt! She insisted to my father that we had to adopt him just so we could change his name, (who names a dog Stroganoff?). We brought him home that evening and 9 years later he is still brightening our lives.
I had to think a while to answer this question because most of my memories with my mom have been great. If I got to choose a favorite, it would be the memories I have during Christmas time. We live in an apartment complex and every Christmas eve, my mom had us convinced that “Santa” was real and I’d know he wasn’t but secretly I’d watch all the effort she would put to sneak in the gifts for me and my siblings and pretend she didn’t know what was even going on. Of course, the next morning, we’d all be super delighted to open up our gifts and thank “Santa” and I loved watching her face cause she would have this genuine smile of happiness and satisfaction. It was wonderful.
One of my favorite memories I’ve shared with my mom is when we had a Girl’s Day Out in New York City- just the two of us. We went on a mini shopping spree at Lord & Taylor and Macy’s, had an amazing lunch in Little Italy, and then went to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. Such a fun day!
My mom is everything to me. To narrow it down to one singular memory is like asking me to buy just one thing at Lulu*s! But one memory always stands out in my mind. I must have been only two or three, but I remember it so distinctly. My mom put me down for a nap and she used to check on me periodically to make sure I was sleeping. I didn’t fall asleep but I wanted her to think I was so I wouldn’t get in trouble for staying awake. When she cracked the door open, I pretended to be asleep. I peaked my eye open to see if she was still there, but she had left. A half of a second later she popped back into the doorway with an “I got you!” expression and a big smile. We both laughed and laughed. She stayed and talked with me until I fell asleep. She would always tell me “I’ll love you forever no matter what.” So I’d go ahead and ask her every possible “Would you still love me if…?” I was so surprised when the answer was ALWAYS yes. My dad hasn’t always been there for me, but my Mom is my superhero. I would be nothing without her constant support and encouragement. If I’m lucky, one day I’ll be half as great of a mom as she is to me. <3
When I was too young to go to school, my Mom would always make up these activities for me and my siblings to do. I remember she would drive us to the zoo for the $5 Sundays. Us kids always marveled at the little spider monkeys in the petting zoo. So one day, I being the very girly-girl that I was, asked my mom why they weren’t wearing clothes and if we could get them some. She said she would teach me how to sew, because they probably didnt make animal dresses in the stores. By the next time we arrived at the zoo, I came prepared with three tiny dresses, (purple, red polka dot, and blue stripes), and two tiny bow ties. My Mom had to do some persuading, but we got the zookeepers to get the outfits on. I’m sure the monkeys hated it, but I was over the moon, and that’s how I became interested in fashion. I really owe a lot of what I know and who I am to my Mom. She’s the reason I can match my shirt to my pants.
My mom will kiss me every night before I sleep when I was a little girl. My most favorite memory when I was a child. I hope she still kiss me every night too, but I don’t think so because it will be pretty challenging to kiss me every midnight before I sleep. I love you mum.
I hug my mum when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. That moment had changed me and my mom plus my family entirely. From sick to healthy, the journey was hard but we had overcome it together. From long hair to bald, from medium to extra large, from no scar to deep scar, from strong body organs to weak and fragile, however everything change us, especially me and my mum from naive to appreciate all the little things that happen in daily life. We love each other more now. All thank to that particular moment. <3 mum
There was this flash sale in a boutique and gosh, me and my mom had gone wild by buying a lot of clothes, and when it comes to the cashier, we both look at daddy with the most sparkling eyes we have, after dad paid the bill, my mom and I were “hehehehehehe-ing” all the way back home. That was my favorite memory with her.
love mum!
In primary school we used to have this kids’s party before the long holidays, my mom had design a hairstyle for me a day before the party. The next day she needs to go to work early so my hair was not put up the way it should be. During our celebration, *probably had forget about the hair”, suddenly my mom appeared in my school to tie my hair up. I was so glad but I was shy to let her fix my hair in front of other people, I regret to reject her last time, but deep inside I really appreciate that moment.
one of my favorite well funniest memory would be when we went shopping at Costco for the first time. We spent an or so shopping and when we went to cash out, we realized we needed the Costco card. We weren’t aware of it, so it was pretty funny. We didn’t end up buying them after all. Eventually got a costco card after:P Other memorable moments would when we stayed up all night watching movies:)
My favorite memory of my mom was when I turned 17 and I finally opened up to her in the most honest way. It was like a whole new world opened up for me and instead of the enemy I was always fighting against she became my best friend. If it wasn’t for that pivotal moment 6 years ago, we would not as close as we are today.
When reflecting this mothers day, it is apparent the depth to which my mother goes each day to support my family. She is ever present in my life and acts as a guide throughout the tumult and financial adversity of contemporary society. My mother singlehandedly raised my family while my father was studying to get a degree with the prospect of tomorrow like the glow of a candle, wavering each moment, as time changed. My mother has grown very dear to me as I have grown up, nurturing and caring for me at every moment of the day. There truly is no memory that can be described that entails all of the wonderful things about her. However, each day when I come home she takes the time to ask me how my day went. Simple memories like these are what constitute a life filled with a grounded love. There is no other person in the world who can understand one like a mother, the lord’s gift. Happy Mother’s day mom!
My absolute favorite memory with my mother, is the night I had to go to work with her at night because my brother was not in the house yet, and I couldn’t stay by myself I was 7 years old and she told me that I had to be really good at playing hide and seek , so I slept in an empty patients room while she worked and everytime someone would walk up to the door I would get scared. This time someone came to the door and turned the knob and I panicked it turns out it was my mom bringing me ice cream from the cafeteria and she spent her break with me watching spongebob, until my brother finally came.
One of my favourite memory with my mom is when she attended my graduation in elementary. I havent seen my mom for so long, so at that time im so so happy and grateful that she was there.. It was a big gift that i have received.
My favorite memory of my mom was my thirteenth birthday. I waited all day for my dad to come over (my parents are separated) like he promised the week before. I literally waited all day for show up, I didn’t recieve so much as a phone call, and I ended up crying myself to sleep. The morning after my mom said to me, “Any man can have children but it takes a real man to raise a child but what he doesn’t know is that you’re my princess and kills me to see you sad. Just remember mommy loves you and will be here through thick and thin,” that one event made our relationship so much stronger.
One of my favorite things to talk about my mom is when we once got into a big debate/discussion/argument over an m&ms commercial! It was the one with a guy throwing up a huge m&m the size of a volleyball to catch into his mouth and instead gets knocked out. She she thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever. I tried to explain to her it was to exaggerate how big the m&ms were and just for a laugh, but she wouldn’t have it. I kept telling her it was just for entertainment value, but she say it was just stupid and nonsensical. It kind of got to the point where we were in a heated debate! After we couldn’t take it anymore, we just fell silent for a bit. After a few minutes of calming down, we looked at each other and started to laugh! I gave her a hug and a kiss and told her, “then no more m&ms for you!” I love my mom and how she sticks to her guns whether she’s wrong or right, she stays true to herself! I know I get that from her 😀 Love you Mom! Hu Guiya Hao!
When my mother got remarried before my freshman year in highschool. We went wedding dress shopping, and I picked the dress she ended up wearing in her wedding.
Each summer my mom and I take a mother/daughter road trip. Last summer, we were at Disneyland & we stayed all day long to see the midnight fireworks show. At the very end of the fireworks, we looked up at Cinderella’s Castle and we saw Dumbo fly across the sky. We were going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, but at that second my Mom hugged me close and whispered “Dumbo, you can fly!!” At that moment we both knew for sure that anything is possible. Love you mom, forever and always.
My mom is so amazing!! I have so many great memories but the most vivid are the days when after a hard day of school we would sing along with the radio and then grab frozen yogurt and all my problems were gone!! I love her!! <3
One of my best memories with my mom happened when I was a child…Mom was washing dishes. I was playing on the floor when I looked at her and I started crying! My mom immediately came to me and she was trying to find out what happened! She tried everything but I couldn’t stop crying. Then, I pointed out the dishes! Mom took me with her, (I was 3 years old) while carring me she turned on the tap and I started laughing and playing with the water! Mom laughed so much! Undoubtedly, the reason why I was “suffering” was because I wanted to wash dishes with my mom!
I am a single mother of two, and work as a full time Police Officer. I could never afford a vacation, soooo… My mom surprised me with eight days in Costa Rica, just me and her. Being the middle child of three it was few and far between that I ever had alone time with my mom. So if spending eight days in a beautiful country wasn’t amazing enough, one night we were sitting on the patio of our room in the rain forest, we look up and the volcano began to erupt. It was amazing. Thank you mom for giving me life, and that one amazing vacation I will NEVER forget.
My favorite memories with my mom are when we go shopping because we always have fun and we bond together.
My favorite memory of me and my mom had to be when we went to Las Vegas! We did all sorts of things and it was just so amazing(:
The best memory I have with my mom is that when I decided what I wanted to do after high school, and my dad was against it, she came up to me and told me to do wathever i wanted to, it was my choice and she was going to be there to support me. It was tough decition but I made my choice and she moved with me to help me out and support me. She talked my dad out of it and they both decided that it was the best thing she could do for me. SHE IS THE BEST!
My greatest memory was donating my bone marrow for my mother who was dx with leukemia. The next year we went white water rafting. Rene Chartier
Ever since I remember, I’ve always celebrated Mother’s Day with my mother – whether it be as simple as making a card or drawing a picture when I was a kid or buying things that my mother wanted as I grew older and have saved up enough money. There was one particularly memorable Mother’s Day a few years back where I really wanted to do something special for my mother. I surprised her with an airline ticket a week before Mother’s Day and gave her time to pack to go to return to Hong Kong to visit and celebrate Mother’s Day with my grandmother. It was a celebration of Mother’s Day with two lovely mothers! We had fun dressing up, going shopping and having a great dinner together. My mother was so happy and thrilled with this gift I gave her that she literally cried with happy tears.
My favorite memory was when I was 11 years old. I obviously didn’t have any money but I really wanted to do something special for my mom for mothers day so I asked her for $20.00 dollars. She told me she didn’t have any extra money until the end of the week but Mother’s Day was approaching. I kept telling her that I really need it and its an emergency. She asked me what the emergency was and I told her its a secret. She started giggling. I asked her over and over and than I started crying. She ended up walking to the bank to take out money. She ended up giving me $20.00. That day, I walked with my friend up the block to a gift shop that sold cards and candy. I bought my mom a card and chocolate jelly rings. When I got home, I went to my room to write in the card and wrap the candy. The following day, I was in the car with my mom and she asked me what the emergency was yesterday. I told her, Maaaa…. I can’t tell you. It’s a secret. Mother’s Day finally came and I gave her the the card and the chocolates. She opened it up and gave me hugs and kisses and I saw tears down her face. She said…. Ohhh honey… This was the emergency? Your my baby. I love you so much. I will always remember that day!!
I remember going downtown to shop & then going to lunch together. We always had a great time!
My most favorite moment with my mom so far was just yesterday when I graduated with my Bachelors of Scince degree majoring in Criminal Justice and Criminology from Arizona State Uniersity. After my convocation, I presented my mother with a stole of gratitude to show how much I appreciated all her who throughout my education. My mother is the most selfless person I know who is willing to help anyone who asks her for it. This moment will forever be special to me and will be cherished forever.
Favorite memory of my mom (one I can remember that is) is when she first got her BlackBerry smartphone and she said to me “pass me my blueberry” LOL!
My favorite memory is of my mom teaching me how to ride a bike when I was a young child. We would walk together after dinner to the local middle school’s basketball court, and she would push me while I tried to pedal. It is a simple but happy memory, and one that I wish I could go back and relive. Life may not be so carefree now, but I know that the love my mom and I share has not changed one bit since then.
One of my beat memories with my mom was in my fifth birthday. We trabel togeather to Monterey we went to museums and parks. The best part was that at the end of the day she buy me a chocolate cake and i ate all. Is one of my favorites because was the first time i traveled alone with my mom.
Closing my eyes, trying to look at my mum as I remembered her from the last moment I saw her. It has been almost 10 months I saw her last time. Nothing bad happened, I just became an foreign exchange student in USA :). Exchange program isn’t a year in my life, it’s a life in one year! I saw my mum last time at the airport in Vienna last August, we said goodbye and see you in June. Since that every single moment with my mum is special. Doesn’t matter if is it over skype, email. Just can’t wait to see her again! Kiss her and tell he how much I love her.

The memories I have aren’t with my mother, they’re with my grandmothers and my father because my mother died when I was 5 years old. My grandmothers have been my surrogate mothers my whole life and have told me stories about my mother to keep us connected. This sunday was the best Mother’s Day I’ve ever had because I was able to spend it t church with my mother’s mother who I have only recently came back into contact with and it was amazing. The women in church sang and the wife of the pastor gave the sermon about how her mother influenced her and a young man who wasn’t her child. She showed us a video of how women see themselves and what the reality of what others see in us. I cried for the first time on mother’s day and it felt great. I am so happy and proud to have so many women in my life even though the price was my mother. It’s inspiring.
A favorite memory with my mom is hard to single out, but it’d have to be me being born. Everyday since I’ve been born I wake up knowing that there will always be someone who loves me no matter what, even if we don’t get along she’ll always be someone I can go to. We cook together, work out together, shop together, ect. Our bond is not always noticeable but I know its there. Sometimes I take having her in my life for granted and we don’t agree more than half of the time but I will always appreciate the one woman I’ve had since the day I was born and for the rest of my life.
One memory I will always have of my mother is her selfless dedication to making me happy. Every halloween, every dance, every prom, she put in so much time and effort to help me find the perfect dress, and matching jewelry and hairstyle. No matter how much I fussed she would always remind me how beautiful I was. We didn’t always have money, but my mom always made sure it felt like we had the best of everything, and I still feel like we did. Spending time together getting all dolled up for those events is what made them so special to me, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
One thing that I will never forget about my mother is that she taught me that even adults make mistakes. She would apologize to me if she felt that she did not handle a situation in a particular way, and that really showed me that my mom did not look at herself as just the person in “charge”, but a normal human being who was constantly growing and learning, just like I was. She taught me that mistakes can shape us in a positive way and that we should never believe that we know it all, but recognize that there is always room for improvement. I love her so much! Thank you mom for believing in me and displaying to me what it truly means to be a leader and a friend.
One of my favorite memories of me and my mom is when she took me shopping for my senior prom dress. We to went the mall and went to several different stores. She would pick out her favorite dresses for me and I had fun trying them on. She even helped me pick out my high heels, which were beautiful and a pretty necklace. I’m glad she helped me pick out my prom dress.I am very thankful for my mother and all that she has done for me.
My favorite memory of my mother is remembering how much of a passion she had to be a mom. There was not a day in our time together that I didn’t know 100% how much she loved me. She put me first, always. Even as she was slowly slipping away she still found the energy to continue doing the little things she is so fondly remembered for. My mother is no longer with me physically, but there is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the time we spent together. I hope to some day emulate what she did for me with my own children.
One of my favorite memories of my mom…it was a typical day and I spotted something I knew she would think was funny…she spotted it too and we just looked at each other without saying a word and broke out into laughter…the uncontrollable, tears running down your face laughter! Things like this happen quite often actually. It’s so great how we both know what the other is thinking and get the opportunity to laugh together like that!
Most nights as a child I was put to bed by an older sibling instead of my mother, I’d awake to my grandmother who would supervise my morning routine before getting me onto the school bus. Looking back I am super happy to have had such an intricate, secure network of loved ones who each played a part in my well being. But I always felt as if their was a void. At the age of 5 I just thought I was a grouchy kid. At the age of 24 I know exactly what (more like who) was missing, my mommy. My mom is a hard working woman back then she worked so hard I mainly saw her on weekends. I didn’t know how much this dynamic would impact our future relationship. We aren’t friends; she is not my confidant, or who I lean on when I’m feeling emotional. Although we live together, we are paradoxically estranged. I don’t have many stand out memories with her, in fact I had to think twice before writing this. I felt like I would have to fabricate a story to match the heart-felt memories that some would post, but then it hit me! My most beloved memory with mom was when she would change my bed sheets as a child. She would lie on my bed for a few minutes afterward. I could sense that she needed rest, so I would sit next to her and try to work up the courage to ask her to play with me with ought feeling guilty about her lack of sleep. I guess she could see that void I was feeling because she would look at me, take a deep breath, grab me and we would wrestle. (I was a rough and tumble sort of girl. LOL I know it sounds silly but we would laugh and play. She would pin me and count to 3, and I’d hug and kiss her, oh we would have a blast! These play sessions would only last a few minutes at most and they were few and far in between, but as far as bonding goes with my mom that’s the best I’ve got. Who would have thought that such a small moments would mean so much to me, those are the memories I love most with mom. I understand the trade off between overextending your self to meet life’s needs and spending time with your loved ones. I wish it were different but I respect her for who she is, composing her self with so much class and grace, rising to meet every challenge and single handedly holding down our household. My friends literally call her super woman and the name is fitting! But really, I wouldn’t trade those moments for the world!!!
I have a few… But recently we got the opportunity to go “hawking” together. She loves birds so I treated her as a Mother’s Day gift last year to an outing where we were able to hold hawks and learn about their fascinating habits. It was a wonderful experience because it was something that my Mother is passionate about, and since she is… it was an easy bribe to get her to have fun. She is the kind of woman who always has cooking and cleaning to do, therefore her excuse is that she “doesn’t have time for anything” besides work. She has always looked after everyone else and been such a wonderful EVERYTHING that it was about time she had a day doing something she loves. I love you Moo! (nickname) =]
I have so many good memories with my mom. I’m very lucky because my mom always have time for my sister and me even when she works really hard. She is mom and dad and she do all she can for us. When I was 5 my mom worked in a similar place like blockbuster all day long. I remember she created a playroom for us in the storage room. My favorites memories are when she played with us in that place. It was really fun and means a lot for me.
My name is Katherine Lee and I was adopted at the age of 3. My parents were married for seven months when they adopted me. We looked forward to everything we’d share in the future. My mom was the best mom. Supportive, loving, attentive, happy, understanding, intelligent, talented, funny, thoughtful, wise, tireless, and kind-of a smart ass. I suppose that’s where I get it from. I also have my mom to thank for my musical tendencies. When I was fifteen, my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia. Through nine years of treatment, she remained upbeat and positive. The last time I saw her was at her hospital bed. She motionless, emaciated, weak, and could not sit up straight. But she was blinking and knew of my presence. I was at Chipotle in San Diego, California when I found out that she had died. No other hands are as strong, or hold me as tight. I rest in the safety of her heart. She is my refuge when the world around me is shifting. I will carry my mother in my heart forever. Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers out there.
The greatest memory I have with my mom was our drive home from my college during winter break. We just talked and talked the entire eight hour car ride home and I loved it. My mom is so understanding and she is so fun to talk to. We talked about college, boys, and life after college. It’s just the best feeling in the world to have someone to whom I can pour out my feelings. We were listening to The Bird and the Bee’s song “My Love” on repeat. It’s a really catchy song so we both sang along at the top of our lungs. I still remember the wind blowing in our hair and faces as we sang along. It was such a relaxing drive. We both then had to go on a potty break but there were no rest stops in sight because we were driving through the woods. We took a pit stop and peed on the grass. Both of us were afraid that someone would see and it was so frightening because the sky was cloudy and the woods was dark because of the overhanging canopy. But we managed to empty our bladders and laughed on our way back to the car. Best moment ever!
One of my favorite memories was when I was in highschool, my mom decided she wanted to get her first tattoo. We went to the shop together and she not only got her tattoo, but she allowed me to get my bellybutton pierced! I was so excited and thankful that she has always let me express myself however I wanted to. I have the coolest mom ever, then and now!
