What was the moment when you realized that your Mom would do

Life used to be much more social. I am sure your mom was very wise to have figured out your problem. The fact that my mom chose to have us kids, when she was told not to was a good proof to me of her love.

What a special memory. You had a loving and considerate mother.

Your mom sounds like a wonderful person. I, too had an absolutely lovely mom. She was there for me no matter what, and for my brothers also. Our dad traveled with his job every other week so she was the glue for the whole family. She was an impecable housekeeper, a fabulous cook and a the most kind listener I've ever met. I suppose one of the defining moments for me concerning her "doing anything for me" was when we were suffering a great financial burden due to my father being ill for a few months and my mother being a homemaker without outside monies. I was in high school and had been asked to prom...I knew we couldn't afford a dress but was perfectly willing to borrow one just to get to go..Sometime before the dance she and I had the occasion to be downtown and as we walked by the local dress shop we stopped and I "drooled" over a formal gown in the window..it was my favorite color and a perfect looking style. She said we should go in and try it on for fun..both knowing that it would be more expensive than our grocery bill for the month!!! I did and we fantasized together about how nice it would be to be wealthy and able to just go purchase such a frivolous item.. The weeks went by before time for the dance and our situation improved ever so slightly but not enough for the "trickle down to frivolity" items!! I came home one night after school and my job ( which all the money went into the family coffers or into the bank for college) to find a huge box on the table with my name on it. I opened it and it was "THE" dress I had tried on...I couldn't believe my eyes..mom explained that some things were very important in life and that her mother had been a seamstress and she always had new dresses but because mom was crippled she never got to go to dances and it was always her dream to go with her favorite "boy" to a real dance...therefore she wanted to reward me for all that I had done to help the family when we were in such dire financial need and so she had taken a job during the hours we were in school, babysitting and cleaning and had my father's approval to spend any extra money after the bills and necessities were paid , on my dress...The owner of the dress shop had called mom and told her she could put the dress on hold at a sale price and pay a little each week...The balance was paid the week before the dance... In this small space and time I can't begin to tell you what that unselfish act of my mom's did to me..but I was the most beautiful girl at the dance ( in my mind) and will never forget the loving act of my mother...To this day I get teary eyed when I think of the beautiful note she wrote to me with the dress...telling me so many things that made me feel so special...I offered to return the dress and let the family have the money to spend on something more important but she wouldn't let me...I believe that today I am the kind hearted, generous person that I have become because of my mother's examples of putting others first. And I love to surprise people with things they never expect to receive...I wish I was financially wealthy so I could make many others wishes come true...but I am wealthy in ways I can't describe because I had a mother that had a wonderful heart and soul and all our lives together she put all of her children first...and showered them with her unconditional love...most of the time it never involved physical things...just loving, kind words and ways that are with me today.

I had always known that my mom would do just anything for me and when she really does it is when i am ill. I have a very sensitive body and i tend to fall ill many a times and it is my mom who always takes care of me. I really love her presence and her soothing words and touch on me that makes me half cured instantly.
