My mother faced many injustices in her life, but she never let them defeat her. I admire her patience, kindness, and resilience.

Now that we have a kid of our own, my favorite thing about my mom is how much she earnestly loves little kids. She's endlessly delighted by all of my daughter's antics and games.
reply
ya i have a similar appreciation to give. like most parents, i love my daughter to the point of absurdity . the only person that can relate, outside of my wife, to this feeling and also feels pretty similar about my daughter is my mom. i really have an appreciation for people that let themselves enjoy a kid that much.

From my earliest memories, she was my safe haven and my comfort zone. Whether I was dealing with silly childhood nightmares or legit adult struggles, she was always there - a rock-solid pillar of strength and unconditional love. Just having her around was enough to reassure me that no matter how crazy things got, I wasn't alone.
reply
She's always on my side. I realized later in life this isn't a given.
reply
I was always partial to her bringing me into this world. 🤣
My mom has an amazing spirit. She'll ride any rollercoaster with you and did the zip line Sky dive deal off the Las Vegas Stratosphere when she was over 60 years old. Her 18 year old grandson was there an wouldn't do it. She said "live a little Grandson!" As she freefell away. LOL

That's awesome.

Thanks! At 20 years of age she had two kids with a two-tour Vietnam veteran.

I know it's maybe a cop out to not say a reason but, I think for me it's simply just having one. I genuinely know some people who don't have a family, or have never had contact or support from one. Just feel it's under looked when you here folk say 'fam is number one' I guess it is but, we kind of tend to forget the difficulties some people go through without a mom.

She chose me as her kid

Were you adopted?

Yeap, from nature

She allowed me to leave her and embark on the Japan Exchange Teaching Program for two years. She was suffering from cancer then, but she was still big-hearted to let me do what I have always wanted

Mom knew it was a great opportunity, she would never cut your wings to fulfill your dreams and goals, it's great.

Thanks for the comforting words xP

I like about my mom that she never lose her hope.She is always ready to do anything I mean any kind of hurdle in her life to face. I get so much inspired and motivated by her.
reply
I have to give both my mom and my wife credit for the sacrifices they make for their family and how they continuously put everyone else before them first.

oh you wanna read my mom poem? oh okay, here you go:
Stubbornly scooping M&M’s from the floor, I learned my mother’s toughness. Now it is mine.
Waking to her sing-song charades, I paraded in mom’s silliness Of which my own is an echo.
Digging my hands in the dirt, I memorized a catalog of flowers And weeds as she spoke them to me.
Plinking songs on piano keys, Spending all day outside, Having some sense of sports,
A satisfaction from scrapbooks, Sneaking seconds of sweets, Hunting through cheap antiques,
Her lessons are lived Through her spirit, her voice, In her touch, by her strength.
There’s no friend like my mother. Her life is signified in mine, A gentle reminder of her presence.
reply
Has to be the cooking and talking. Always calming!

My mother came with a 24/7 safety net-service, or in other words: no matter the time or place, she'll do her bloody best to get the kids out of trouble.
reply
I’ll be honest she doesn’t really get me however she’s always interested in what I’m doing and always willing to chat. She’s very kind like that.
reply
I love the broom beating of from my mother the most.
TBH, I was very naughty in my childhood and my mother used to beat me with a broom. At that time I couldn't understand but now I feel that was the most lovable thing she did. I miss that broom for I'm now more undisciplined. I ask my mother (humbly) to give me a beating but she now says that you don't need a beating on body but you need it on your mund now.
I must say, I'm what I'm for every bit because of my mother.
If you ask me for what I love my mother or for what anyone should love his mother, I would have only one reply 'You can only love your mother for anything and everything, you can't even say that you won't love her for this or that. Mothers are real God on the Earth.
Love you mom!
Respect to all mothers everywhere.

She always protect me whenever I made mistakes.

She always listens to me, even when I talk about obscure topics that would bore anybody.
reply
I gave her my seed phrases in case something happened to me and she hasn't taken a single sat from me, hahahaha.
reply
Right now my favorite thing is mostly her lack of support in many ways. She does the bare minimum.
reply
What I loved most was knowing that I could count on her for ALL my problems.
reply
I had to make a post because I don't have enough words to describe how much I love her, appreciate her and to describe how incredible she is. #537076 My mom spent a lot of time working so she loved the days we were home and had dinner in her bed watching TV or talking about anything.
reply
My mom loves to laugh. Her whole family would roast each other to no end and giggle the whole way through. All moments were an opportunity to laugh. It's easy to get bogged down it life's big and little miseries, and we had so many of them, but humor let us look down the barrel of the gun and dodge its bullets.

Ugh I was unhappy enough with that last sentence my mind wouldn't let it go:
humor let us look down the barrel of the gun and dance around its bullets.
