Sadly, my mother passed away in 1987. She was not around to see me graduate from the police academy, get married or move to New Zealand. However, my mother was not only my mother, she was my best friend. So, even with her passing away, I know she was with me through my graduation from the police academy, my marriage and my move to New Zealand. I knew when she was alive, I could always count on her. She would give her opinion but didn’t try to push it or any advice onto me. She always said she raised her children to think and have a conscious and good head on their shoulders. Mother also stated she was so proud of her children as none of us were drug addicts, thieves or anything she wouldn’t be proud of. My mother was my rock and I truly miss her but will always know and feel she is with me through all good times and bad times. Thank you mother for being the person you were and for making me the person I am today. Love you heaps.
Report comment Report commentMy mum is my best friend, I ring her every day to touch base with her and dad, discuss the day and anything that has happened. I am grateful that I can talk to my mum about any issue I have, and there is no judgement passed.. just the best solution for me to solve my issue. When my brother passed away mum was the glue that held us all together.. I love my mum
Report comment Report commentI have Asperger’s syndrome and my mum is my compass navigating me in the right direction and will never allow me to get lost. She has given me my wings to take off in life by making me feel so loved and wanted this has given me the self-esteem to cherish myself. My mum has brought me up with lots of unconditional love and has filled in everyday with the brightest colours, wisest teachings, and yummiest baking making each day golden and very looked forward to. She has made each of her three kids feel very much loved and given them treasured memories that will always be vivid. I will remember the birthday cakes, holding my hand during injections, tucking me in at night with extra blankets, making sure everything was okay at school, giving me the best opportunities, going to the local attractions, the special treats, the clothes she made, and her walking to my work among countless other things for which I am truly grateful for. She has given encouragement, generosity, and a lot of her time and attention. Every corner of our childhoods has been dosed with her amicable presence. She is the true embodiment of a wonderful woman- the pillar of encouragement, the inspirational role model, the wise owl, the silly clown, the hottest home baker, the cuddly teddy bear, a beautiful woman inside and out that she practically glows in the dark, and the best mum imaginable. My mum’s mum died of Leukemia at age 47 when my mum was 22 so mother’s day is a mixture of grief and celebration. I wish my mum’s mum was still alive to see how exceptional her daughter has turned out and how wonderful a mum she is and to give thanks to my mum’s mum for bringing up my daughter to become the best mum.

Report comment Report commentMy mum also passed away seven years ago. I am glad that both my children had all her eleven grandchildren were able to spend valuable time with her. We miss her greatly but do have the belief that she lives on within us. There is not a mothers day that goes by that I don’t think about her.
Report comment Report commentI have the best mum. We spent the afternoon with her on mothers day, while my children made her ‘grandmother’s day’ cards and artwork. She is a very special grandmother to my two young kids who treasure their special time with her, and is always there for a chat or to lend a hand.

Report comment Report commentSadly my own Mum died 43 yrs ago, so I have not been able to share with her what I have with my own 3 adult children. They are wonderful Mothers and I also have a wonderful daughter in law, with whom I would love to be able to share this wonderful gift with. I am blessed with 11 grandchildren, 4 boys and 7 girls, including a set of twins. I also had twin girls, double blessing. Thank you Mum for blessing me with you undying love, wisdom and yourself in the short time we had together. I still miss you everyday and know how much you had longed for grandchildren so I make sure that I love my children and grandchildren to bits, every day. You are never forgotten.
