Our mothers and motherly figures are a rather special breed of women. It is a one of a kind experience to be raised up in a loving home with a mother to take care of you, give you warmth and an unconditional love. It is a joy and a blessing to have these women in our lives.

There aren’t even enough words in a dictionary to describe how extraordinary our real-life superwomen are. They nuture us from birth to adulthood and leave a lasting impact in our lives. They deserve to be loved, cherished and recognized for the role they play in the home and the lives of their children. I therefore would like to mention some of the things I love and appreciate about the woman I call my mother.

She is one the most selfless people I know, regularly sacrificing her own needs for the needs of the family. This for me is one of the most heartwarming things about my mother, that she goes the extra mile. Growing up I witnessed her coming home from work to prepare meals, do laundry and take care of the family, we did what we could to help around but ultimately most of the work was left up to her. This encouraged me to work harder in order to make her life easier one day.

She doesn’t keep her graceful and selfless attitude for only her loved ones, but she extends it to neighbors and strangers alike, never passing up an opportunity to lend a helping hand where she can. She is trustworthy and reliable but gullible is not in the list of words to describe her. She is least likely to be taken advantage of as she easily sees through most people and sifts carefully through peoples characters. I appreciate her wisdom.

She is a hardworker, and a go getter. Nothing can stop her when she puts her mind to something. She is familiar with getting what she wants for herself and does not wait around for assistance from others. She is truly as independent as they come.

She is a woman of integrity, and never runs low on her supply of kindness, she may often exhibit traits of strictness but this is only because she is a disciplinarian at heart, she is never harsh but only hard on those she loves and she does this with good intentions.
I am proud to be raised by a woman of her stature, she has taught me the importance of giving one’s self when there is nothing else to give. She has taught me kindness and grace, as well as independence the skills to work hard and the importance valuing one’s self as much you value others.

I appreciate the intelligence and naturally inquisitive mind that I have inherited from her, a healthy curiosity and thirst for knowledge is a great tool for paving the road to success and becoming a better person. Above all this I highly appreciate having her raise and guide me into this life, because without her I would not be the person I am today.”
