My mom passed away yesterday. You won't find that out in any newspaper or on TV. She wasn't famous, but she was a mom and that makes her a superstar.

I've been thinking a lot about how she took care of me and my sisters and sacrificed plenty for her family. She was a working mom but never failed to come home and put a big dinner on the table. Holidays were always an incredible feast of food and goodies. We weren,t rich but I never remember feeling neglected or deprived .

When I look at my wife now and her tireless devotion to our daughter, I think there is something special about being a mom that even we loving fathers will never be able to match. So in memory of my mom, I would like to say a big thanks to moms everywhere. You have no idea how much you mean to your kids.

My condolences on your mother's passing and as a mother myself, thank you for your kind words.

I am so sorry lordofdelusion about your mums passing. I have tears from reading this.

I too was raised by a working (single) mum who to this day still helps me & my sis in more ways than we deserve.

As a mum I now know why she does & hope to be able to be the same kind of mum to my son as my mum was (is) to me.

My thoughts are with you & remember, she will never really gone if you think about her everyday & remember her through your daughter too.

I am sorry for the loss of your Mum.

My sentiments echo what Boo has to say.

I was also raised by a single Mum , after my Dad left her along with myself and my two younger brothers.

I really dread the day that I get the same experience,, so,, every day she is here with us is a blessing.

Thank you for the very nice thought for this day and any other day.

And may the Good Lord bless all parents of selfless devotion.

Cheers
