Love in its purest form can only be one that comes from a mother for her child. It is alove that knows no bounds… a love that’s unconditional… a love untainted. To celebrateand honor the fountain of this love we asked ourselves, ‘What would make our Moms feelspecial and happy – is it the amount of dollars we spend, or the thought that we fondlyand gratefully remember what they said to us, or did for us, or the moments they spentwith us?’ We felt it to be the latter. This gave birth to our campaign titled, ‘World’s BestMoms’.

Our campaign encouraged people to share anecdotes and testimonials about theirmoms. As a token of love and a tribute to these mothers, we decided to feature thenames of these moms in our “World’s Best Moms” ecard, designed especially for some ofthe best moms in the world, available on our 123Greetings platform for posterity, and themost-liked memories and testimonials finding a place in this ebook titled “World’s BestMoms – A Collection of Memories”, downloadable by anyone who wishes to revel in thebeauty of this relationship.

The response that we received was humbling, as people across different ages and fromdifferent parts of the world shared with us memories so varied and yet bound by thatbeautiful sentiment of love. Every piece of memory shared here delves into the differentaspects of a mother-child relationship – some arousing laughter, some inspiring us, andsome creating for us that moment of poignancy – each touching us so deeply.

We bring together these stories and testimonials to celebrate mothers who taught theirchildren how to live and how to love, and the children who fondly relive all momentsspent with their mothers.

We invite you to join us in this celebration and encourage you to share this ebook withthose who you feel will enjoy reading these beautiful memories.

At 123Greetings.com, we look forward to bringing forth more of such beautiful emotionsto you so you can cherish the joy of human expressions even more.

Wish you a happy read.

With warmest regards,

Veena Vaswani, that's her name. The lady that's been there always through thick andthin. I remember a time when I had my first boxing match in school. I was a chubby kid (8years old), so I was paired with someone 5 years senior because we were the sameweight. I was getting clobbered in the ring when my Mum decided have a go at thereferee for an unfair fight. This is just one instance of the dozens where my Mum stoodup for me. I love Mother's day because it gives me an opportunity to appreciate mymother. Don't take your mother for granted. Cherish her as long as you can.

I wrote this after the very famous mother-daughter fight. A realization that happened iswhat I pen here.

“I understand that my mother starts early and how much she does for us the whole day. Iknow how much pain she takes to make our lives easier and how much she cares. And Iknow that every night when she sleeps, she holds regret in her heart that she didn't kissor hug us. And I can see it in her eyes, the apologies she tries to convey silently. I knowsomewhere deep within she hates what she does, but I can also understand behind eachrefusal of hers there is huge amount of LOVE. That's something I won't understand verywell now, but I will sooner or later.

“So, in spite of all the decisions that she takes that might hurt me for the time, I know Iwill still kiss her good night."

I hope you all relate to it. Happy reading. God bless all the mothers of the world.

My mother's name is Mrs. Trupti Hulawane.

My mami is absolutely the most giving human being I've been fortunate to know. Hername is Olga, and she's 78 years young.

I'm in my fifties now, but I would like to share a moment in my life, when I was away fromher, and while the distance made me miss her, I thought this time would be my freedom!

I was just 17. My parents had two lady friends who were leaving the US to Mexico, as wastheir custom every year. The very morning that my dad had offered to drive them to thetrain station, was the morning dad always took me to breakfast. Upon arriving, the olderlady turned to my mom and said if she thought I would like to take a vacation with them.My mom had a surprised look on her face, as my dad replied, "Sure, that would be a niceexperience for her." Immediately I repeated “Yes!” a hundred times. Mom had bubbles inher eyes, as did I. Later I found out that hers were not of excitement as mine were.

Well, they let me go. I had never been away before, except for an occasional sleep over.To wrap this up a bit… One day, the girls that lived there got in trouble and the very strictdad found out. I never knew such strict parenting, as I'd seen with this family. Don't getme wrong, up until then, we had a blast! Imagine three girls, one year apart; 17, 18 and19.

The family had 12 children, and were from a very famous music background, so yes, itwas great. But, during this "grounding time," I was miserable. We couldn't even leave ourroom. One of the girls practiced fainting spells, just so the other sister and I could leavethe room and run to the other side of the house and carry on with all their brothers, whogreater me like their own.

Over there it's nothing if they put a lock on girl's door, at least at that time, but I got reallyscared! The first night, I cried like a baby and prayed, just to listen to my mom's voice! Itrust now, that when you pray hard enough, God really hears you!

Mom called. Yes, as if she heard my cries! It was like the sun ran up and down my back. Itfelt so comforting. She said, "Mija, were you calling my name!" At the very moment whenI asked God to wake her, to hear my plea, she did! Call it "being connected" or lovingsomeone so profoundly, that nothing, no distance at all would keep her from hearing her

My mother went to be with Jesus December 29, 2012. To hear her sing was the mostbeautiful thing you would ever hear. She did not need music and could sing any song thatwas ever written. She raised four Children by herself. My father was a drunk and awomanizer. My stepfather was the same. She was beat by both men. She was thestrongest person to be able to endure all she did from these men.

She was told she had Alzheimer's in 2006, and she came to live with me. In time sheforgot the words to the songs she sang all her life. She used to crochet blankets, butforgot her stitching. This was the saddest thing to watch. I would go to bed at night andcry myself to sleep. She once sang to her great grandchildren, and now they sing hersongs. She was a wonderful woman and showed love the best way she knew how. To lovesomeone with Alzheimer's and see them fade away is the hardest thing to do. I love andmiss my mom. She was sent from Heaven.

I had the world’s best mom: Joyce Irene Watson-Wheeler-Kleier (Dec 5, 1932–Dec 29,2012).

Mom’s gone now, but I miss her so very much. She taught me to love and care and nevergive up. She taught me to work hard and to be independant. I can hear her beautifulvoice singing church hymns, but her belief in God was her best gift to me. Love you mom,thank you for everything you have given me.

With so many memories of Mom, one that stands out is when I was a small child of 4, andthe youngest of 4 older sisters. It was a hot sunny day. Mom was washing clothes in theold wring washer, then hanging them up on the line. I was playing with my dolls. My sister,who was 7, kept running out of the gate and down the alley.

Mom got mad, as my sister kept going too far, so she put a rope around her waist andtied it to the other clothes line attached to the movable clothes pin holder.

She said to my sister, “You can only go as far as the line will go.”

Sister nodded, “Yes, mom.”

“If you break it off, you will be breaking your mother’s back, as it holds me up to hangclothes.”

Sister said, “Oh no, Mom, I never want to hurt your back!”

My sister never moved very much because she did not want to hurt Mom. When Mom gotdone with the laundry, she untied my sister’s hand and took her and me for a walk. Thenwe had ice cold Koolaid. Mom was always inventing ways to keep us safe. I miss herdearly.

It’s great to be a mother. But my mother says it’s great to be mother of a mother. In factI feel happy to share my story here. My mother LAKSHMI has been my best friend,philosopher, and guide all through my life.

I have an incredible history about facing life's most testing times. She gave me strengthto choose my own career, shaped my future, and supported me all through myacademics. She groomed me and made me accomplished.

When I was pregnant I got chicken pox and I had to take a decision to terminate thebaby. Myself and my husband decided not to and the ordeal followed. The decision wassimple, but it needed a lot of care.

She stood by me, and from the day the baby was born she had been responsible to seethat he is perfectly all right. It was a very tough time to make the baby strong bothphysically and psychologically. In the course of time I met with a road accident, whichlead to arthritis, fibromyalgia, and rheumatism.

For me every day is traumatic, a struggle to deal with. I start it with so many questions.But the moment I speak to her I get so much relief. Every single moment she explainshow life is beautiful in all its ways. She always asks me to consider only the positives andleave all the negatives to God.

I am glad my son Devesh who is eight and a half years old now shares a lovely bond withher. She always uses the word 'happy' a lot. Maybe that is how she sees everything. Ihope to carry forward the love, care, and confidence she has given me as a legacy. Allmy life, my degrees, and and my success are dedicated to her. At a very young age shelost her mother, but she has been the best mother, and teaches me to be one.

I will always love and honor my mom. She passed away a year and a half ago, and I findmyself still grieving my loss.

She was everything to me. My morning sunshine. My breath of fresh air and my peacefulnights. She was my joy and my sorrow. She was my smile and my daily laughter. Shefilled my life with hope and goodness. She taught me the value of forgiveness.

She took her last breath in my arms, and with that a part of me died with her. This is thepiece of my soul that I am still trying to get back.

I honor her today and everyday by simply forgiving my short comings. By forgivingmyself. I love you, Mother. You are my angel.

She would have been 90 years old this year, if she were still alive. She died at the age of58, and up to this very minute, I still long for her and miss her so much. I have witnessedall the sacrifices and sufferings she had to endure so that all of us could graduate fromcollege. She was a school teacher but had to stop just so she could take care of us whenwe were still small. I nearly died when I was still a kid, and I still remember that she wasthere all the time I was at the hospital. She was a caring, loving, and amazing mom. Withgrace she learned how to cope up with the difficulties this life has to offer. I love you,Mom! And in His time we’ll see each other again!

When I was 7 years old, my mom had scolded me, and I wanted to leave the house. I waspacking my clothes, crying. My mom, though upset, couldn’t help giggling, and in themidst of watching her, our cat took away my fish fry, which I thought I’d take as a mealwhen I would have left the house. I cried even harder when my mom hugged me andconsoled me, but I was so stubborn that she had to ride me on her back and took me outfor fish fries.

Mother, this word when we say it in Hindi (maa), it is a deep feeling, which cannot beexpressed, it can only be felt. Maa means a whole world to me.

I remember when I was only six months old, my mother took me to her own mother’splace. I was the third child and second daughter in the house. My mother told me this oneday, when we were returning back from my grandmother’s house my grandfatherrequested my mother and asked her to give me to them.

My maternal grand parents had only one daughter, my mother, so they were quite lonely.They told my maa that they will raise me up and take good care of me. At that time mygrandparents used to stay in Rajasthan.

My mother agreed and left me with them and headed off for the railway station, with myelder brother and sister. After a while when the train was about to leave, my motherburst out in tears. She asked my father to rush back and bring me back. Just two hours,and she could not stay without me. This is what we call maa. She told me she felt that shewas leaving the entire world behind.

Then came my grandfather holding me in his arms and gave me back to my mothersaying, “Take your daughter. I'm sorry for separating a mother from her child.” When Iheard all this from her, tears started rolling down my cheeks.

That day I felt a mother is… only mother.All her children are equal for her. The moral isthat after a woman becomes a mother, all other relationships become secondary for her.(She could not give me to her own parents.)

My maa: Pushpa Devi Agarwal.

This is my favorite memory of my Momma.

When we were little my Momma would go out in the dark and cold night to get snow(when it snowed) and made us snow cream.

It was so good. Always a sweet treat from a sweet lady. We miss her much and love herso much. She is in heaven now with my dad and family and friends. One day we will seeher again.

Tell your Mom you love her. You're never promised Tomorrow.

My mother passed in 2008. She was a beautiful lady with a big heart. She could savemoney better than anyone I know. She didn’t buy things for herself and always was givingto every charity I knew of. It was a shock when she past between a 30 minute timeframe. My sister was up there. She acted fine, but that’s how she was; she didn’t want toworry anyone. My brother found her dead. He thought she was sleeping, but she wasgone to the Holy Land.

That’s my story of the greatest mother ever. We love her and miss her a lot.

It was 26th Jan 2003, my mom's birthday. Like every year, one of the things we did wasgo watch the Army parade on Red Road, followed by a nice lunch, and then the dayfollowed. But that year it was different. I had the prelims of Bournvita Quiz Contest toparticipate in. I was in 3rd standard, completely dependent on her as dad was out oftown.

I felt bad for the fact that I had to stay there till 5 in the evening, which would spoil theentire day. But mom as usual got up early, even on her b'day, did all the work, left myelder sister at my aunt’s place and took me to the venue, my life's first big platform.

I then went busy with the quiz and met her only after things finished. I didn't win and I feltterrible. I walked up to her disappointed and said "I am sorry that I spoiled your entireday." She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "I am soo proud of you! This is thebest b'day gift ever!"

That's the day I realised that her entire life revolved around me and my sister. I realisedwhat she meant to me. Now I am miles away from her in college and I still rememberevery detail. Yes, I don't disagree that we fight, in fact a lot! But that's because we knowwe have a right over each other! And we love each other. I love you maa!

Maa – mother – mums are the ones who plant the seeds of love that help us bloomforever!

My mom has struggled all through her life to see that my bro and I got the best ofeverything within her capacity! Even today, although we have become parents, when wehave a small sickness her heart weeps for us! She herself suffers from many ailments,but she will be the first to come and take care of us.

I especially remember the days when I had undergone a surgery for hysterectomy. Shekept me, my daughter (7 years then), and my hubby at her one-room flat and took careof me for 3 months just because the doc had told her that I needed rest for threemonths.

She herself, being a diabetic who injects herself with insulin three times a day, took careof me on one hand, and on the other my dad who had a hip surgery and my lil’ girl whowas schooling then. With all the work she had to do from morning till midnight, she nevercribbed, she never got frustrated, and never made a noise! Never did she complain thatshe was tired!

I used to feel miserable seeing her slogging but I was helpless. In spite of all this, when Iused to get up in the middle of the night to go to the loo, she would also get up to ensurethat there is water and that I do not have to bend down for anything. That is a mother'slove. It is so fiercely protective and so selfless. There are many such instances, but Icannot quote all of these here. Hence, it is rightly said that since God cannot beeverywhere, he made mothers. Very true! I am indeed blessed to have a maa like mine.She can never be replaced by anybody. She is the world's best mom! Her name isParwathy Anantharaman.

My mother was beyond loving and caring, and was a wonderful mother and human being.Her most loving act was when she knew that her son (my brother) had a terminal illnessand was very frightened to die, my mom promised him everything would be all right andthat she would help him to cross to the other side.

My mom was 69, very healthy and fit, but suddenly she died of an intestinal infarction,just like that, out of the blue. Five days later my dear brother died, and I was calm andassured that she was waiting for him to cross together! A few days later I found littlenotes from my mom leaving instructions and her will… She just knew she had to gobefore my brother. To me that is the ultimate expression of love, and yes indeed, somuch like her…

Nemia Tenizo is the name of my mother. Unfortunately she died of cancer at age 56. Buther memories of being a good mother will always be her legacy to us, her ten children.

I will always remember that one afternoon when I went home from school, when she wascleaning the ceiling vigorously and without saying a word. After hours she finally restedand said, "Ok, you can talk to me now. I'm not angry anymore… My anger went awaywith the spiderwebs."

From that I learned that I too should not say anything when I'm angry so that thepossibility of saying bad words can be avoided. That made my mom THE BEST. I love youNanay (mother).

We had just been transferred to Jacksonville, Florida (mydad was in the Navy). The girls there only wore dresses and shirts by Gant. We could notafford either. My mom found a dress pattern and a material that was very close to thedresses that the other girls wore. She made me one, and everyone wanted to know whichstore I bought the dress from. It was a wonderful day. She always made us feel specialand always did things to make sure we fit in wherever we moved. She is like no other.Aloha.

She is a high honors student, respectful, kind,and a superb athlete. She is just heaven-sent. Her mother, my sister, passed awayunexpectedly on October 4th, 2012. There is not a day goes by that we don't think of her,including her grandparents. My husband and I are caring for her now.)

* * * * *

Mom, I miss you and I appreciate all the things you've done with me here on Earth.

You are in Heaven now and looking down at me typing this little note.

You were always there for me even at my birth.

I still smell your precious scent on your coat.

I wish you'd never left me. And it's very easy to grieve over a loss like you.

If you only knew. All the struggles we had, we still pulled through. If I could hold your handone more time I would rather that than a million bucks to tell you the truth.

A million bucks may cover the funeral bill but it doesn't cover that hole in my heart.

It will take my whole life to move on, that's how much I grieve.

I remember the bike rides, the giggles, the tickles, the mornings, the nights, the meals…the LOVE.

I miss that the most, I need someone as close as you to love me.

My heart is beating fast and my eyes are watering but that's not even all. “Every day thatgoes by means a day closer to you.” I'd say that to myself only to make myself feel a littlebetter.

My eyeballs just keep getting wetter, full of happy and sad tears battling.

But in the end, it's still true that I love you too.

I have the greatest mom in the world. She sacrificed a lot not only for her two childrenbut for her siblings as well. She stood as the pillar of the family when they were orphanedat an early age. Now she’s 86 years old and sickly but still trying to be strong for herfamily.

My mom will always be etched in my mind for the selfless way she raised six children andloved helping other children out. She never complained even though she had a lot tocomplain about. Her laughter still echoes through the corridors of my mind. We barelyhad material things but because of her we were rich in every way. May her soul rest inpeace.

The greatest sacrifice she made was raising six children and looking after my dad who didnot bring an income into the home. She was very hard working, a teacher who had tohave a garden to feed us from and a truck to keep the home fires burning. She literallytook life by the horns and she could laugh at the things life threw at her. People would saythey knew that was her laughing even if they hadn't seen her. She was a warm lovingkind-hearted person. I would need a book to write all I know of her hardships and hervictories. I really miss her.

I always feel that I am the luckiest person in the world, for God has blessed me with theworld's best mom, ever! She has been a pillar of support and inspiration to all of us andhas sacrificed her entire life for bringing up all three of us well. She moved out to a tinyhamlet from a bustling city, changed her entire lifestyle, adjusted with a very sick father,and gave the best of schooling she could get for us. She even sacrificed the post ofheadmistress in a school so that she could be by our side giving us all her attention andlove and home cooked food when we reached home hungry from school. She set asideall her ambitions and aspirations to see us grow and bloom into good human beings byreposing confidence in us. She had to lie on the floor in a shared ward when I wasoperated on and she did not whisper a word of discomfort. Even today without hearingfrom all of us about our well being she can't catch sleep. She shares our joys, our sorrowsand pains, and prays for our wellbeing.

God, if at all I am reborn on this earth, I pray that I shall be born to my mother onceagain!

I have to say, my Mom is the absolute best! She took my brother and me in as babieswhen our mother (her sister) passed away when I was only 6 months old. We neverwanted for anything, really. She struggled with our dad, who is also wonderful, to give usthe best of everything we could possibly want or need.

No matter what, I can go to her about anything and I know without a shadow of a doubt,that she will tell me straight up. I love that about her, and I guess that is where I get itfrom as well.

She is very beautiful, and pleasant, and loving. She has taken many kids in and raisedthem as her own. God gave her that gift of strength and courage to take on the task ofbeing a great mom, and she definitely is. She can cook anything and bake anything, andthere's never a crumb left. She is fun, and loves to have fun, and that makes it that muchmore wonderful. Even after six kids, she is still sane… that says a lot! I truly believe mymom is the world's best mom!

My mother, Wilma Gilmore, is my idol. My mother had only one child. She was 16 yearsold from a small town in Maine. She raised me with with morals and values. My mothernever hit me; she shielded me from an angry stepfather whose temper was explosive.She worked REALLY hard to give me a great start in life. I didn't take advantage of whatshe gave me. She took my child in and took care of him when I was unable and unfit todo so with no questions asked. She helped me back on my feet. She gave me a home, achance in life once again, and continued to teach me to be the person I wanted tobecome. She has been a grandmother to both my children and continues to teach themwith family values. All in the same time she was dealing with divorce, losing everythingshe once knew but putting her hurt and anger aside to help me through my sorrows.She’s been my best friend for the last 20 years but is even closer to me than that duringthe last 8 years. I love my mother and can never express the gratitude and appreciationthat I have for the woman who provided me life and continued to provide me with muchmore throughout the years. I love you Mom!

My mom is a very smart and beautiful lady. She is a wonderful cook and a brilliant advisorfor her kids. She does shout, nag, and even cane us for being naughty, but it was all forour own good. Her heart is pure, and we were taken care of like precious gems. She hasnever ever failed to fulfill her duty as a mum and has and is still giving all six of us siblingsequal love and blessings.

In 1984, my dad met with an accident and was unable to go to work, which meant mymom had to lead the family. My mom, who had been a housewife and had never workedbefore, decided to go out to work as a nurse and as a breadwinner, because we were allkids and still schooling. She really struggled very hard to juggle housework, shift duties,and also being a mum and a wife. She never did ever fail to play her role and to fulfill ourneeds even in such circumstance.

Even recently, after 2011 when dad left us to be with the lord, my mum has never givenup her strong side. She is really an iron lady with very strong willpower. We siblings havealways admired our mum and have learned a lot from her in life, education, and even incooking. I have never really said how much I miss her, love her, and even have notthanked her for being the best mom ever.

Love you, mom.

My mom has got to be one of the best moms in the world. She works a full time job,home schools me and my two brothers, takes care of her dad, is a Sunday schoolteacher, sings in the choir, works on the vbs committee, and still finds time to be a wifeand mom.

She is an amazing woman because four months ago she lost her mom on December 28thand since then she and her brother have taken care of their dad. She has volunteered towork backstage for my 12th recital, which is a brave move on her part (since we'redrama-filled teenagers), and now she's going back and forth to the hospital to be with herdad. She has stayed strong for the whole family and is determined to go without, so wecan have the things we want and need.

At one point she was a single mom who worked two jobs to take care of me. No matterwhat she always had enough money to send me to dance or do whatever. I swear thiswoman is MY very own superhero. She's the wonder mom and she does a fantastic job.Honestly if I didn't have her in my life I never would have turned out the way I am. It'sbecause of her that I am the person I am. If I had to do half the things she does everyday I would more than likely go crazy, but she pulls through every time. My favorite thingabout her is that she's always supported me with everything I’ve done, and was mybiggest fan in everything. I love this woman to death, and I would go crazy without her. Ithank God every day for blessing me with this wonderful woman who I get to callmomma. I absolutely love my beautiful and amazing mom. She's the best woman I know.I love you mom forever no matter what!

Now is the first time that I am falling short of words to explain some experience of mylife. And it is because this experience has been so eternal that to explain it in words is justnext to impossible.

It was the time of my life when I was struggling with not only the outside world but also,to make it worse, with my inner self, and to stand by my side I could see no one. I felt soleft alone and dejected that the world seemed to be the worst place to live in. I waslooking for work not knowing what to do, was staying at home but felt like moving out,was within and around family members but felt like a loner, and this was not all. Evenfriends seemed to have turned their back on me.

But out of all there was some force, some power that kept me protected all the time. Andthat was none other than my mother, my god. She use to watch me from a distance butalways kept me in a protective shell; she always gave me that strength which helped meto fight against odds. She supported me and helped me to understand myself better. Shemade me believe in myself and helped me gain respect for myself in my own eyes. Shegave me that warmth which helped me curb the chills that kept me uncomfortablethroughout that phase. And she took all the pain and frustration that I vented out and thattoo without any complaints.

She always told me one thing no matter how many times I shouted and cribbed andcursed everyone around. She always stood beside me and told me, “I understand youand believe in you. Just have faith in yourself and in the one that has created you. Sabtheek hoga.” These words gave me so much strength.

She did not do anything extraordinary, but she gave the power of me, and that is whatwas required.

Thank you, Mom (Reena Kanwal), for being there. Love you!

These flowers remind me of you, as they are white, which denotes peace, and that iswhat you gave me.

They are beautiful. It reminds me of your beauty that is so simple yet so elegant and
