My Loving Mother: Ola Mae Pittman

When I look back at my childhood I cannot picture it without you. You have helped shaped who I am today and for that I thank you. When I think of you i think about all the love that you have to give. I am so lucky to have you in my life and I will always cherish the memories that I have with you.

Finally, I am so proud of my mom because is the best person that I have been meeting. She is a good example for me, to continue my live and achieve my

Hello mom, it's been months since we last spoke. I figured this letter would be a good way to let you know how I am. My therapist also thinks it's a good, in a way it helps me deal with my emotions. It pains me that I have not seen the whole family in a long time, I miss them a lot. The matter-of-factness is that our last conversation didn't go over as well as it should have. I apologize for yelling.

Wiping the tear from her cheek. "Thank you mom, I love you so much and I'll call you everyday." She nods in agreement before we both smile at each

I really want to see you another day since I haven’t seen you for ages.

The term “Mother” is a vastly revered and honored word full of love, feelings, emotions and unconditional care. Our Mother isn’t merely a parent for each of us, but a friend, helper, guider and well-wisher. She is

And also for all the support she has given us over the years - helping us find the deposit for our house, for one - thanks mum.

It is such an honor for us to be here with our 2nd mom, "Mama Louise". She will be 93 years old next month. Even laying quietly in a hospital bed, with her eyes closed, she literally beams with WISDOM, LOVE and COMPASSION. She is such a role model for all of us.

I noticed the note on my pillow that you had given me and it made me think about how grateful I am to have caring parents like you two. I just wanted to say thank you, and all you and Mom have done for me. I could not be who I am without the support you have given me. You say that you are proud of me, but I don’t think you know how much that really means to me. I see all of these other kids and their families and all I can think about is how grateful I am to have you guys as my family. The ones with a brain in their heads, and the thoughtfulness to put letters on their son’s pillows and lunchboxes.

Lovingly attending to my every need, you helped me become the person that I am. You were always unselfish, putting your wants and needs aside to help others, including me. You were the best mom I could have dreamed of, for which I am grateful. Those who knew us best always said that we didn’t act like Mother and Daughter. They thought we were more like best friends. Little did they know, we were Mother and Daughter, who were also best

There isn’t a better mom out there for me, you are my mom and nothing will ever, ever change that. You've battled battles with me, you’ve dealt with my so called “father” for seventeen years, you’ve always made sure that I was happy. Even if you weren't the happiest, you put my feelings first. You always made sure that I had everything that I wanted and everything that I needed.

I want to tell you about the Mother's Day that I will never forget. Now in our culture, Mother's Day is a day of celebration to her mothers and giving honor to the woman who pushed us into the world. Showing love to the woman, who taught us right from wrong, who was present when we took her first steps. So the woman who was the greatest example of unconditional love. This is a day to show her everything that she has shown you in your lifetime. I truly wish I could tell you that this was that type of story. I wish I can sell you that on this day I gave my mother the best Mother's Day gift that any €12 can give. I wish that I can tell you I saw my mother cry tears of joy and happiness. I wish I was able to say that she gave me the biggest hug and whispered in my ear “I love you, Omar” as she kissed me on the cheek. I wish I can tell you that these things happened, but unfortunately this is in that type of story. This is the last time I spent Mother's Day with my mother

If there is one thing you have not noticed by now is that your momma is one big overachiever. I could not wait to be your mom, so I spent so much time studying everything and anything I possibly could about how to be a good parent, ways to help you learn and grow, even looked back at my old psychology notes on lifespan and development from college, and just downright contemplating how to be the best example for you. I practiced taking care of babies and kids wondering if you would have similar characteristics. Taking care of you and teaching you how to take care of your little self has been the most fun and rewarding thing I do in my life. You have helped me fulfill one of my most important life’s purposes. My friends kept telling me while I was pregnant with you that you were going to be “one lucky baby” with a mom like me. I hope you grow up and feel like one lucky

My great-grandmother, Mama Jo, is from England, and my great-grandfather, Granddaddy, met her while in combat during World War II. Once the war ended, Mama Jo came across the Atlantic to the states and married my Granddaddy. This is where my family story begins. Their son is my grandfather, and he is the oldest of five children, which could get crazy at times. Most of our family traditions revolve around this side of the family due to its magnitude. Even though my great-grandparents have passed away, we have kept their home in our family, so every holiday we get together there. We call it the “Home Place,” and this place holds a very special place in my heart. Every Christmas we line up tables from one end of the house to the other, and sixty-two of us sit and have breakfast. Every Halloween we all get together and have a “soup night” while answering to the trick-or-treaters knocking on the door. Every Thanksgiving we have lunch at the Home Place, and after we eat, we always go to the front yard and play baseball until the day turns into night. These are the memories that will last a lifetime, and this is where I come from. This is much more than a house. It is a home, and I hope that it can be kept in our family forever so my great-grandchildren will be able to have these experiences.

To my beloved mother,Harison bt Wahab who have given me her encouragement and support, family and fellow friends
