Hi I just love this beautiful incident from your childhood.It brought tears to me eyes. I am sure you miss your mom.I am one of those people who didnt have a caring mom ,so this is something unusual to me but i am sure Angels do exist

I was frequently lonely when I was a child. We lived way out in the country with no phone. My brothers were several years younger than I. They had each other, but I had no one. Sometimes I'd cry in the night. Mother would hear and come crawl in the bed with me. She thought I was having bad dreams. I couldn't tell her I was just lonesome. She couldn't read my mind, but she tried to help the best she knew how.

I am blessed that my mother is still with me and I hope that she will be for a very long time to come. For almost as long as I can remember, she has been as much a friend to me as she has been my mother. We have always been uncharacteristically close and whereas many of my friends had issues with their mothers during their teenage years, that was the time that the two of us grew especially close. Perhaps one of the things about my mother that is especially heartwarming is the fact that she kept all of the Christmas ornaments that we made for her when we were children and still to this day displays them with pride on her Christmas tree.

My mother passed away a couple of years ago. I have so many fond memories of her. She was always there for me and I will never forget the things she has taught me and my brother. I can't think of any one particular incident that stands out at the moment, but there were many. What I do remember is that she was very disciplined and caring in all her dealings, especially with her children. Two combinations I would love to build up in my life. Thanks for this post.

your post made me miss my mom more. don't get me wrong, she's still alive. just not with us. she's with my sister in California and i miss her every minute of the day. i miss her cooking the most. i learned how to cook because of her. :)

Thank you for sharing such a lovely memory. Sometimes it is the smallest things we remember of our mothers. I lost my Mom five years ago to cancer but I have so many memories of her and I am sharing them with my kids. My Mom loved Christmas time, she would spend time and a lot of money to make it special for us. She would spend hours in the kitchen preparing all sorts of yummy goods. We would "help" out but it reality we were just waiting for a taste of the cakes and cookies. That was such a nice, cozy time and something that I do with my kids as well. One thing that sticks in my mind about my Mom was her crazy sense of humor, sometimes over the smallest thing she would go into fits of laughter, even in the hardest times we always had something to laugh about. I am very grateful that my Mom taught me to see the funny side of life!

my mum is a smart lady and she have not enough time to care about us when we are young since her have lot of housework to do on the past years.but she can make us always wear clean clothes and eat delicious food after we completed the studies. i think if she can figured more time to spend with us and tell us how to play the toys then she would do . but she have other responsibility. i love my mom also.

i don't have a good memory with my mother when i was young. but i am a mother now, in God's guidance, i hope i can have a good, happy and lasting memories with my daughters that we all cherish for a lifetime. i am in constant prayer, that my children learn to appreciate life with a mother who gives them inspiration and encouragement every time they fall. a mothers who listens to their every pain and struggle, a mother who can feel and experiences pain with them.

My mum was so dedicated to us as children. She would make bread and butter and come to all our sports days. She spent tireless hours helping us with our horses for horse shows and if we were ever to tired to do something she would make sure it was done. She is incredible. I don't know how I will ever manage to be as gooder mum as she has been and now I am pregnant with my first child I guess I will find out even more how incredible she is!!
