What do you remember about your mother?

my mom is 67 years old, and thank god.. is still quite healthy. i will not say that she's had a hard life.. but, we're not really 'super rich', either.. we've had our hard times, especially since my dad doesnt earn a fix income, but my mom was resourceful and hardworking.. there are just many traits that i luv about mom - for someone from her generation (and our culture) - she is innovative, independent, creative, resourceful.. she's got all the qualities of a typical 'malay lady', but at the same - a bit of a 'tomboyish', not afraid to do things that 'ladies dont normally do'.. sometimes i think she was born in the wrong 'decade' - she'll probably be someone great if she was born somewhere in our times - where women are more 'liberated'.. my mom never depends too much on my dad or her children - does whatever she could herself, even repair works in the house - even now!.. she's very straightforward - she'll say what's on her mind and on her chest.. and she'll say them right to the person - no bad-mouthing, no gossiping.. she'd even confront whomever that she hears talks about her and ask for 'confirmation' of any gossip about her... but she doesnt do it harshly, or invite any ill feelings.. she keeps herself 'updated'.. sometimes i feel so embarassed because i read less, or listen to the news less than she does.. even my husband says he is impressed with my mom, because normally people her age would just pass their time without bothering about the news around them.. too many wonderful traits that i treasure about my mom.. hopefully i will learn to take after some of them.. and make my children proud of me, love me, appreciate me as much as i do my mom...

My mother played a big part in my childhood as she still does today. my parents divorced when I was 10 years old. so she was a single mother. she worked to keep a roof over heads and food in our mouth.My bad only had to pay child support in the amount of $45.00 a week. Even back in 1975 that didnot go far.But I also am very lucky to say that I had a womdeful stepmother who always treated us as her own. She has 5 kids and we were raised together. Still today we consider each other to be brother and sister.

The one whom we adore as the Mother is the divine Conscious Force that dominates all existence, one and yet so many-sided that to follow her movement is impossible even for the quickest mind and for the freest and most vast intelligence.

hi! sorry you've lost the most precious gift of life.....your mother. truly the very word 'mother' fills our hearts with glory and pride. i can never forget the uncountable nights she lay awake healing my wounds, caring and soothing my distorted mind so that i can raise my head and once more confidently unearth the mysteries of life. she is my hope, my faith, my strength , my confidence and she is the reason for my existence. all that is creative, nice and beautiful in me, is a boon from her.

My mummy (my childhood name for her) is 87 years old. She has always sacrificed whatever was necessary for her children's well being. The thing I will remember most about my mum is that she enjoyed being a mother and my brother and I grew up with that knowledge. Every one who knew her knew this, not because she said so, but because she did so. Two and a half years ago she made the greatest sacrifice she could without giving up her life. She chose to go to a Nursing Home. She knew it would be impossible for her children to care for her and maintain their life styles, work, home and family responsibilites. She also knew that because of her physical problems it would be painful for her to get out to the her doctor's visits and such. She only asked one thing, that I would find a NH close to me. She is 3 miles away. I visit her 3-4 times aweek and call her every day. Today we made out Christmas cards. Her eyesight is very poor so I make labels for her. She is also confined to a wheel chair and her bed. She is my best friend.

My mother is very hard-working and patient. She married my father when she was 22. My father then went to America to get his doctor's degree, but she had to stay in China because she was pregnant with me. Once I was 1 year old, she left me with my grandparents so that I could learn more about the Chinese culture. She went to America to join my father. She now has a good-paying job at Nestle Purina. I am very proud of my mom, because when she was little, her family didn't have a ton of money. Because of her hard work and determination, my sister and I are here today.

Wow, I don't think obedient is a term I'd use in describing my mom. I don't get where that comes into it. Makes me wonder who she had to be obedient to as a full grown adult? Anyway, my mom was funny, loving, smart and caring. She loved to make people smile and laugh. And she was always coming up with something to do to make people happy. She wasn't the best cook, although we never told her that because she enjoyed it. But she was great at craft projects and was always coming up with something fun to do. I lost my mom last year to cancer. Its like a piece of me is gone and I'll never get it back.

Well, since my childhood my mother have been supportive in everything that I do in my life and also she is the first person to take care of me. The way she had showed love and affection on me all these days is what I remember the most about my mother. My mother understands me well all the time and she is one of the only few persons that give me the best advice for the life and so far she as shown me the right direction in life. These are the certain things that I remember the most about my mother.

It has not been quite a year since my mother passed away. She was such a kind, caring and unselfish person. Some people took advantage of her generosity. I looked after her as her health deteriorated and wish I could have done more. I miss her as much today as when she passed away as we had become best friends over the while I was in her house looking after her.

We all have i guessed the same characteristics that mother have. I remember her also when we get sick and make sure that we take the medicines. She always there taking care. During midnight she woke up to make sure to cover our body with blankets and cooksbreakfast,lunch and dinner too.

My mom is very caring and loving. Need i say more than that? Love emcompasses everything, and although sometimes i do get a bit nutty with my mom, but i always seem to regret my actions.

I always remember my mom preparing my breakfast before i go to school! I miss her a lot!

My mother and I have been through hell and back, and I am only twenty years old.. As everyone who is older knows, your teenage years are probably the most confusing years of your life, trying to find out who you are .. your true identity, and other things like that. My mother, although I shut her out most of those years, played a huge role. I'll always remember her trying to keep me focused and on track. No matter how much i cursed her out, verbally abused her, ignored her, disobeyed and disrespected her, she was always there for me. She always made sure I had what I needed to get though the day, no matter how many times she threatned to give up on me. She always was willing to give a helping hand, when most mothers of my friends would just blow them off. Whenever I needed something, she would always sacrifice something she wanted to do, to keep me happy. I really love my mother, I think she did an excellent job as a parent.
