Christmastime(1960's and 70's) was pure magic at our house when I was little. My parents had a big Christmas Eve Party and mom would serve Swedish meatballs and ham and she made all of her own Christmas cookies. I especially loved the ones with the Hershey Kiss inside of the cookie ball. Then we would go to midnight service at church and then off to a neighborhood party afterwards. Then in the morning my father would take videos with the bright lights of us all coming down the stairs to see what Santa left us and it would be a sea of presents! Then it was a big breakfast and then a fire in the fireplace and we would play with our toys all day! Mom died suddenly on 12/1/97. She was my rock and my best friend. I love you Mom and miss you so very much. See you someday....

My Mom raised 4 boys and 4 girls and she taught us that no matter what life throws at us to be there for one another. She loved us unconditionally.  My Mom is no longer with me. She was diagnosed with leukemia on December 10, 1999 and died on January 2, 2000.  I miss visiting her and the chats we had over a hot cup of coffee.  The void I feel will never be filled....she will always be in my heart...'til we meet again. Love you Mother!

My Mom has got to be the best, she loves me beyond compare and will do anything just to see me happy. One day when my sister and I were just small, we live right beside a river and can go swimming any time, my mother did not feel like going swimming. So we would beg and plead, but still she would not go so we wrote her an invitation to go swimming, it worked, she came swimming with us.

When I was little and couldn't go to sleep my mother let me stay up and watch TV or play solitaire with her. She would let me stay up until I fell asleep and then she'd carry me to my bed. Thank you mommy. I will always love and miss you.

I was about 7 years old when a strike at the University of Carabobo left my parents and my grandparents without a job. Soon we had no money and they cut out the water and the electricity. As children we were terrified. My mother, who taught journalism, made this trial into an adventure. We sat at night making tiny wax dolls from the wax that dripped from the candles and making stories about these doll's lives. It was one of the best summers of my life. Thank you mom and may you rest in peace -- I miss you.

When I was around 11 or 12 my mother showed me just how special being the middle child is. I have an older brother and a younger sister and I was feeling a little left out. My sister and I were sharing a room and we were not getting along. My mom saw how upset I was and one morning when I woke up there was a card beside my bed. Inside the card she spelled MIDDLE and from each letter she spelled out the qualities that made me special. She knew just what I needed and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you Momma. Happy Mother's Day!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!

My mom is the greatest. She is the mother of four sons who are now middle-aged. She has 7 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. She has been a shining example of Christian character and caring for all of us over all of these years. What a lady!!!!!!!! She still cares for all of us. She prays for us. Her cooking is great. With her every day is an adventure. She is admired by all including 2 loving daughters-in-law. My hat is off to my mom!!!!!!!! She's the greatest.

When I was a little girl, my mom took me to the store to buy me a teddy bear. She told me that when she was a little girl, her mother bought her a teddy bear, so she wanted to continue to buy me one too. We picked a cuddly brown teddy bear which she said resembled the one she had as a child. My grandmother, her mother, made an outfit for the bear and we named him "Sunny". I still have my teddy bear and I have also continued the tradition with my own daughter.

Everyday is a memory with my mom - she is the most unselfish, caring, loving person I know and I'm very lucky. Last year I made her a memory jar for Mother's Day - I bought a glass jar with a lid and put a fancy ribbon around it and filled it with folded pieces of paper with calligraphied memories on them. She read them all in one day, but we all had such a nice time reminiscing about each item. I suggest it for anyone who cherishes their mom. She'll love it.

When I was little I was very clumsy and I kept breaking things. I remember one day when I was upset about breaking something else, she just smiled and looked at me and said, “Honey your not clumsy, you just need to be more careful”. To my amazement she was right.—I really began to be more careful and sure enough I stop dropping things.
