The Best of the Mother's Day Contest Entries

I am amazed at the depth of feeling that people have for their parents. It brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. Read below to see what I mean.

YOU'RE SPECIAL

by Karin Hunsinger

My mom is special to me because she loves me and give me all i need. She gets me little things i want but don’t need just to be nice. She is also special because she takes me places. She cares for me when i am sick or sad and she helps me with homework. I think she deserves a day off. These are several reasons why my mom is special to me!

THANK YOU, MOM

by Diana Milliron

My mother, in her eyes, just considers her life normal but she always is available to her children to help out in anyway she can even though we are adults. Just goes to show that adults need help too and a mothers job in their eyes are never done.

YOU'RE MOM

by Amanda Kingsbury

She is my MOM, that makes her special to me. She has taught Sunday school for 24 years, and freely gives genealogy on local family names that she has information on to anyone who asks.

I LOVE YOU

by Angelia Hillard

From almost the first time I met my mother-in-law years ago, we have been best friends. I truly have been blessed I have been able to confide in her and lean on her when life gets tough. She is a woman who gives all of herself and asks for nothing in return, 15 months ago, the Lord took her son (my husband at home). I see such sadness when I look into her eyes. I truly believe this woman deserves some pampering. Mother's day is a difficult holiday for her. Winning this contest might make her holiday special this year.

MY MOTHER

by Deborah Lepay

My mother is the best mother I know. Over the years, she has taken care of not just her own kids but every stray kid that we brought home. She’s known all over for her chocolate chip cookies…and, still at her age I can’t tell you that but I’m the youngest and I’m 44. She will still goes out of her way to bake us cookies even if its 90 degrees. She’s the most giving and understanding woman I know. She’s gone without a lot over the years but she always made sure we had what we needed. I’ve seen her walk a mile in the snow to go to work for her family…shot deer so we had meat on the table…spend hours canning food to have supplies for the winter. She always put her children first...and besides being the best mother she’s always been a best friend. She always told us no matter how bad it is we could always talk about it with her…and she’s the best one I know of for keeping a secret. She took her mother right in when she got older, and took good care of her right up till she had to go to the hospital, and didn’t come back home. She went to the nursing home ever day when her sister had a brain tumor and took care of my father right up to the end. She always taught us to be good, and have faith in God. If there is such a thing as living angels, I wouldn’t be surprised...I couldn’t have asked for more in a mother. She deserves the best, and much, much more.

MY WIFE IS SPECIAL

by Anthony Clate

My wife is special, Because she has had 4 children. She raised them with no complaints and she has kept our trailer clean at all times. Cathy has had no complaints even though we don't make much money. She has tried to help our friends and neighbors as well. She is the sweetest wife and greatest mother a husband and children could have.

THANK YOU MOM

by Kyle Michaels

Everything about my mom is special. Because she takes care of me, my brother and my sister. She tries to be mom AND dad to us while working full time and going to school part time. She is fun to be around, too.

YOU'RE THE GREATEST

by Angel Cussins

My mother is special because she took me in when I was 14 yrs old as her foster child and has never treated me any different then her own children and she also treats my own children as her own grandchildren. It takes a special woman with a lot of love to do this.

YOU'RE MY ROLE MODEL

by Nina Monroe

My mother is special because she carries upon her shoulders a heavy load and does it gracefully. I cannot express all that she has done in this short essay. All I can say is that she has given me a role model to strive to be: a supporting, unconditionally loving, and a truly wonderful mother.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT OF LOVE

by Connie Babcock

My Mother (in-law) is special because she is the most giving person I have ever known. Whenever we need a helping hand, words of encouragement, or praise, she is always the first one here. Her sparkling eyes, warm smile, and hearty laugh will brighten the dreariest of days.
