Mom, I cherish your being my best friend. You always understood me. Were a part of my tears and my laughter.
Love,
Brenda
I remember my mother for the lessons and values she taught me through her beautiful and memorable stories, and simple life.
I learned more about my mother and parents after I became a parent. Learned about their unconditional love when I made my biggest mistakes. Learned more about patience, when I was angry about my children and my mother (and my father) gently reminded me about bigger problems I had and how they dealt with me. Learned more about tolerance when I thought about how my mother dealt with the unknown -- without judgment and openness. I learned about learning when my 70+ year old father showed curiosity and learn how to use computers, email and digital photography. I learned more about myself when my mother reminded me that I was not always the easy person to deal with and that I learned best when I let go and surrender instead of being willful and stubborn.
As I write this, I wonder what I have really learned without them that is meaningful in my life? Thank you, mother (and father) for what you brought to me in addition to giving me life...
...who you are. Your example has molded me and guided my path.
Thanks mom and dad for having faith in my capabilities. For supporting me through my mistakes and letting me find life through my eyes.

I have never given birth to another person in this lifetime but admire the institution of parenthood as the most demanding and most important job on this earth, followed closely by being a good and worthy spouse. Parents are responsible for creating and then guiding a whole person to be the best person the child can be.
However, parents have different ways of teaching the life lessons they have to pass on to their children just as the children have various ways of learning those lessons. In the end, everyone simply does the best they can. In my case, I am especially thankful to both of my parents for showing me who I do not want to be during my life.
Based on what I know of my parents, I learned to choose to not be angry, vengeful, hateful, oppressive, depressive, or spiteful and these lessons are reinforced every time I interact with them or my siblings.
To learn these valuable and lasting values from my earliest memories of my family is indeed a blessing that allows me to truly appreciate loving, caring, sincere, honest and supportive relationships as the blessings and prized gifts they truly are.
It is a hard lesson to learn as a tender child but it certainly promotes growth and introspection at a very early age and is in itself, a immensely valuable gift.
Dear Linda,
Your comments brought tears to my eyes- sad and happy.
Sad for what my friend has gone through and missed in life.
Happy for who my friend is and her ability to take the best out of what life has to offer.
Love
Anu
I cherish you as you are mom. Smiling, loving, helping, giving and a true mate. Always understanding and guiding me to be my best.

Very well said, Linda. I do not have the skills or the patience to write so beautifully. You are truly insightful and your thoughts are profound. "In the end, everyone simply does the best they can." - what a profound and beautiful statement. I learned this only after having my own kids - it forced me to deal with my own short comings.
I want to thank Mom and Dad for their constant sacrifice and the love they showered on me.
i am thankful for my parents being my best friends- even when i did not return that friendship in earnest. they have always been by me and taught me how to be a parent myself.

mom and dad are two beautiful words that light up my life.i have always felt very blessed to have my parents the way they were,shaping my life ,giving me enough freedom to become what i am today,to let me blossom .i too have tried to bring up my kids in the same way,i dont know how they will feel about that,but i do marvel sometimes the decisions my parents took for me,how seemingly effortlessly they conveyed them to me,though how difficult things may have been for them.may god grant such parents to everyone.
