Anyone who had/has a kind mother....

My mom was amazing. She was always there for me. Even as an adult. She was funny, smart, patient, and had a temper when pushed too far. We are much alike. She was compassionate and giving. She gave her life to taking care of old people. She had one demon but it didn't define who she was or her ability to be a mom. She taught me those things by example, some discipline, and lots of love. I miss her.

She really loved her kids me being one of them, a piano teacher also who formed deep friendships with whole families, she was always more than what she was doing on the surface, being wholly there. She also battled depression, not feeling worthy of things, and also feeling like she was going crazy with me and dad being ourselves. We both felt same things in regard to dad, and we'd often share about that, mom was deeply down in the dumps for how messy we were, she would have liked a tidy place, if we would have had that, she would've had a lot less sadness i am sure.

i've been shaped by her in how i open the windows to get an airflow going in hot summer months, we never had AC, and general sense of decency in the areas not covered by dad.

She helped me understand what may feel you good, may actually not be the right way to go. Work hard and have confidence in yourself, you can achieve anything. Be helpful to others, give importance to helping others in pain, than your pleasure. Sharing others' sorrow is equally important as you should share your happiness with others.

My mom is amazing. She has always been my biggest supporter and has done her best to help me to believe in myself. I was not always an easy child. I'm still not. Not really. My mom has had to deal with a lot from me, but she loves me unconditionally. How do her traits help me shape who I am? I'm still figuring that out.

She was a stay at home mom. She got me off to school every morning, made all our meals, made sure I got to all of my dance, music lessons and sports throughout the years. She was so kind and loving. She was a lot of fun to be around. She took us everywhere we wanted to go. She gave us unconditional love every day

I grew up in a tumultuous home. My mother helped me learn ways to calm myself and make myself comfortable when surrounded by stresses. She was a kind dear person. I miss her very much.

my mom died when i was 11, so there isn't a lot i remember. There were two traits that she had that drove me bonkers, but set me up for my career in science. One was not necessarily answering questions, but helping me find the answers, the other was her telling me to make my own decisions.

Both my Mom and Dad -- and my Mom's father who lived with us -- were always supportive and loving.

My mother was off and on so it was sometimes confusing, but she loved me, and I loved her

It was pretty amazing. Made me more empathetic

I didn't have that luxury unfortunately

Sadly, none was more interested in my older sister

I actually did. My mom was the best. She was supportive and loving. I cried when she passed away. She made me who I am today.
