My mum would sacrifice spending and splurging on herself so that she could get us decent grooming products when we were growing up. I would now like to reciprocate that. Though I don't have to sacrifice that much (we were 3 girls) it would be nice for her to receive some really good quality products this Mother's Day.
Thank you all for entering our Mother's Day giveaway! What lovely stories you have been sending in. We've selected our three winners at random - if you didn't receive an email from me then I'm afraid you haven't won. But keep an eye out for more exciting giveaways on TalkPerfection!
i love my mum because she is my best friend and the best mum in the world. im 27 and she still looks after me only now i look after her too. shes helping me with my wedding and we drop food off at each others house so the other one doesnt have to cook we shop together and just hang out. shes looked after my brother, sister dad and nan as well as me shes the best
I love my Mum because she is an inspiration to many. She cared for my terminally ill father for five years when he had colon cancer, as well as being a huge support to myself, my sister and brother during this time and ever since. She never once complained and never had a day off caring for my Dad in five long years. She deserves a medal for her strength and tremendous support to the rest of the family.
my mums the best, she was there for me holding my hand when i had my daughter, there to help me recover a thyroidectomy, and has been my rock through 6yrs of depression, even the nights i couldnt sleep she would txt me so i didnt feel lonely even although she was tired herself, she stayed awake for me. shes not just my mum she is my guardian angel.
My mom is my soulmate, although we rarely see each other (she lives in south africa) I know she will always be there, no matter what time of day or night, whenever i need her. If i need someone to talk to, cry to or laugh with, I know that my mother will always be there to listen. She is the best and i love her.
Although she lives so far away (Uganda!),
We speak to each other every day,
She cheers me up when I'm feeling blue,
She always knows just what to do,
I miss our weekly coffee meets,
When we'd enjoy a chat - and a treat,
But I know that on her I can depend,
She's not just my Mum, she's my best friend.
My mom is always smiling and giggling with me over the phone, even when i know she's not very well and has slept on the sofa in pain again.She always works hard and doesn't have many treats.As a child i lost contact with her when my parents split up and it is only now i realise what a hole in my life there was.I know she was always and will always be there for me and my brother and sisters.
Put simply "I Love you mom".
Just 4 more days it will be mother's day. I love my mum Rachel, we have our ups and downs, but she is the one that would always support me no matter what. She shows me how to be a perfect mum, she's a role model for me and my children. I will treat her well everyday, not just on mother's day.
Because she is my one and only and is very special to me.
Come rain or shine she is always there for me .
When i'm sad she always cheers me up and even though she is sick if i ever need anything she would do anything for me and all her children and i have no idea what i would do without her.
MY Mum is so fiesty ,fun-loving ,and a bundle of energy but is poorly at the moment so i hope she gets better soon and is back to her usual ...causing mayhem and laughter in equal quantities ...we never have a quiet time when Mums around but i wouldnt change that for anything ...love her to bits..
I don't think there is anyone who doesn't think their mum is the best in the world, but I know mine is! She is one of the most selfless women I know and always puts herself bottom on her list of priorities. She has been for a long time, a full time carer for my dad, who is an amputee and also suffering with emphysema. She also cared full-time at home for my wonderful grandma until she passed away with Alzheimers. Not only that, but she has also helped to take care of me, and is always there to support me and my 3 children. I suffer with a severe thyroid condition and rheumatoid arthritis and she would drop everything at the drop of a hat to come and help me. She does my housework for me, my ironing as well and is always there night or day for support and guidance. She never criticises any decision, always shows us how much she loves us all and has never once complained, or moaned or felt pity for herself. She hasn't been able to have a holiday for over 7 years and hardly ever has the time or money to treat herself. This would be a wonderful gift for her.
I love my Mum because she looked after myself and my sister all buy herself while also being a full time carer to her own Mum for 6 years because she had Alzheimers. My Mum has now got bad arthritis and had loads of surgery but she still puts us first and never does anything for herself. I just love her for being my Mum
I have a truly excellent mum. I’m the youngest of four, and she’s always made time for each and everyone of us, sometimes at the expenses of time for herself and her own interests. 9 years ago now, I collapsed with ill health and became bed bound. She became my full time carer and gave up a chance to go back to college in order to nurse me back to health. She’s cared for me almost 24/7 over the past 9 years without a complaint or grumble. When I had to wake her in the middle of the night because I needed care she always greeted me with a smile and her cheery, kindness always kept me going. She's been my best friend, my confident and a brilliant mum over the past few years.
my mam represents everythng that is safe and lovely, I am 39 and she still cuddles me and strokes my hair,she is always compassionate when i am ill, even with a hangover. she may not agree with my decisions but supports me anyway. she totally defines the perfect mother , and i totally love her xx
My mum said she would never be the sort of granny to look after any of her childrens children, she told me she was too selfish!! Yet when I had a major operation last year, she gave up her whole life to look after my son full time. When I broke both my wrists this year around the time of my 35th birthday, yet again she dropped everything to help. I can always have a moan and she knows just what to say. In all honesty I would be lost with out her. Even now at 35 I still need my mummy.
To cut a very long story short i've been extremely ill over the past 9 months and spent 4 of them in hospital. My mum has been there for me every step of the way, shes been through some awful times over the past 9 months and nearly lost me to my illness, but she stayed strong and supportive through out and has been the strength i needed to get through. She even sold her timeshare apartment to help me out financial. No matter how tough its been, she was there. I couldn't ask for a closer friend, or a stronger more supportive mother. I feel blessed for everyday i have with her.
i love my mum because she has inspired me throughout my life that I can reach my dreams and achieve anything I want from life. My mum is my tower of strength, and she is always there no matter what. And I hope one day I will be as good a mum as my mum has been to me when I have kids.
My mum is 93, looks and acts 80 and loves to be active, travel and knits for charity. However if that wasn't enough she had a mastectomy the week after her 90th birthday and has recovered wonderfully. She was incredibly brave, my dad had only died 3 months before she found the lump and she just got on with it all and took it in her stride. Then when her consultant thought she must have a mastectomy my sister and I were very upset and worried for her.
She decided it had to be faced, went to Spain on holiday to build up her strength then came back and had the op.
Her strength, love, kindness and faith just shine through.She's always there when I need her. Non one thinks she's 93, though she enjoys telling people with a twinkle in her eye.
Last week was my 63rd birthday, she rang me up first thing in the morning and sang Happy Birthday in her lovely soprano voice.
What a mum, grandmother and Great mother, we all love her to bits.
My mum has been through hell and back,she is the most strongest and inspirational woman i know.
She has given us unconditional love and has always been there for us.
Being a single parent she has had a hard time but it was doubled because she had no support from her own extended family,..my mother has broken away from all cultural expectations and her strict muslim upbringing just so that her children could have a education and freedom to live life in the way they choose
My mum is my Mum..she's just the best ..never judges and is a great listener.. and I've bent her ear many times over the last 40 years! My husband says she's an absolute diamond as a mother-in-law as well..they've only ever had cross words once and that was over him throwing food that I'd cooked..which he said looked inedible but she said she could've eaten and didn't like it wasted!!
I love my mum, because she's always there, whether good news or bad she's always on the other end of the phone.
We talk to each other every day, and my husband has put the phone on friends and family, because he can't understand what we can talk about for nearly an hour every day.
We see each other as often as possible, and every time we visit she always cooks a lovely meal, she's a gem
I love my mum but I hate her too. I can't deny that she is my mum and always will be but although she is still alive and living in Italy, the truth is I lost her years ago to alcohol. It destroyed me and it's destroying her. I have a child of my own and I will be there 100% for her until I die, unlike my mum who favours poison over her children. Every day I mourn the loss of my mum!
