I’d love to praise my own mother for she not only raises my baby sister,dad and brother by living a healthy lifestyle, but she supports me with my illness(fibromyalgia)! As if this take up all her time– Mom goes above and beyond by helping my sick Grandma. (who stubbornly still lives at home even though she needs the extra care!) Trust me. It’s no fun acting as a nurse for a relative. How does someone do all that without complaining!?

Hence, my mother is quite an amazing woman.

I was a military wife with 5 children and a husband who was deployed for 6 months at a time. We were far away from family so I had to make all the decisions on my own and then justify those decisions when my husband came back home. It was long before the days of email so those decisions were sometimes hard to make. I don’t think I ever did more than most moms. I supported my children in their interests, Girl Scout leader, PTA committee member and chauffeur to all their events. I’m very proud of them.

I am a blessed mother of 3 with my 4th little wonder expected to arrive in October. After completing my bachelors degree in 2001, I decided to put aside my career dreams and stay home to raise our growing family. In the 9 years since my 1st son was born my family has relocated out of state 3 times in order for my husband to pursue career opportunities that would best benefit our family. Moving with small children is a difficult task, but knowing that it was for the best future for our family kept things in perspective.

Mothers go beyond every day in some way. Natural caregivers who put themselves last and their loved ones first even when dealing with their own poor health and other numerous problems. I myself have worked 2 jobs at one time and a midnight shift later etc. Whatever it took for my child and family. My daughter became disabled her senior year. She would have been an “Honor Graduate”.I have tried hard since to make her life as loving,happy,meaningful and comfortable as possible. She inspires me every day to go beyond. She has never lost her spirit and still uses her awesome intelligence and numerous God given creative gifts to enhance her life.She is not just my daughter…she’s also my best friend! I love her very much and love never fails or knows any limits.(Not even beyond!)
Thanks!

I think all good moms work beyond and I try to do the same. I work more than full-time and also try to parent more than full-time as well!

My challenge was when my daughter was ill and I took care of her. She did not make it, and it was and still is heartbreaking.

Despite being an older mom with chronic health issues I’ve always been actively involved in my children’s activities. From being a room mom, girl scout leader, music dept fund raising chairman, etc. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

My mother stayed in a bad marriage, and it traumatized us as kids. I got out of a bad marriage, and I did it without any support from my ex. I couldn’t allow my son to be in a bad situation.
