Celebrating Great Moms
By Shawn Pilon

Mom,

You've seen me grow through the years. All the sleepless nights just to wipe a tear from my innocent face. All the love and care you put into every warm bottle or hot meal I ever ate. We shared in our moment of tears together, when I cut myself for the first time to when I rode my bike and took a nasty spill... there was always a caring, kind face that could always make things better. That was Mom.

When I became ill, you were the one that would sit by my side until I could tackle the world once more. When I gave something my all and wanted to quit who was there with words of encouragement. Mom was.

You believed in me. You made me realize what can be done if you set your mind to it. How great of a person I am...just like my Mom.

As we get older we tend to forget what our Mom had done for us. So before you get on the bus or in a car, tell you mom how great you think you are. Because of your Mom.
