Thank you so much for all the entries for the Mother's Day contest. In honour of all the amazing mothers who are with us here or watching us from another place, I asked for you to write why your mom is so special. It was so fun reading the various notes... memories of getting lost as a little one and the feeling of relief when mom found & comforted her, the comfort of kids getting more and more relaxed with their grandmother they didn't live close to for many years, the devotion of a mother-in-law to her family... there were many great stories. Thank you for taking the time.
I have chosen an entry which really touched me. A full page of memories, the description of this mom clearly showed the love between mother and daughter. And to be honest, reminded me of my own mom as she talked about her mother being a great cook, supporting dreams, hopes and wishes and never missing an event the kids were involved in whether it was a concert, sports event or school play. Shauna also talked about the strength her mom has shown through very challenging times. Her mom survived very risky brain surgery and has never complained or showed fear to her children as she recovered and works through the permanent deafness in one ear that resulted. And I smiled so much as I read Shauna talking about the yummy chocolate cake her mom still bakes for her to take to staff meetings at her school. Mom still made me hamburger soup, banana loaf and chocolate chip cookies to take home all the time. Dad and I just shared the last hamburger soup Mom made the other day.
Shauna ended her note by saying she hopes she can be half the mom her mom is and is she is, she knows her children and husband will also be the happiest people on earth.
Thanks Shauna for your wonderful letter. I can't wait to take photos of you and your mom!! And as I promised, all proceeds from the shoot will go to cancer research.
Thank you everyone!
Janet
