parents
The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Lioness
Strong like a lioness, she fought scorned and alone through the day. She fought through her thoughts, danced through her job going here and there rapidly, difficultly, till finally she came home to her selfish cubs, lovingly listening to their tales. We, to her, was her greatest joy. Her, to us, was our hero, though not then. We thought we were above showing love and appreciate. Yet she loved us without it. She loved us when she didn't yet love herself. She was a goddess, like Hera, working to keep our family up and running when we were abandoned.

Mary
When people hear my life story from Fostercare to adoption, stealing my identity a couple times, and all the other petty little things you did mom they wonder how I could forgive, love and miss you, yet still call you momat first I would have agreed. I use to get so angry and hurt when Mama Lu wouldsay that I was going to turn out just like you, Mama Mary. (I always had to live my life my way and we were learning together how to be a family. I'm positive I frustrated Susan no end, I frustrated myself too 😏

A virtuous woman *edited*
Words fail to describe the beauty of the one I call mama. A woman who has fought for me and loved me through my most shameful and hateful days. Through wounded knees and broken hearts. Through ups and downs and merry go rounds. Memories of my childhood burst into my mind at random occasions demanding my celebration of this very special woman. Like when she would console me about a bad grade or help me see the good in a nasty person. She has taught me so much truth and corrected me with love so sweet but oh so tough. Like her loving heart, her her hands have always been open to give me all I need and have the courage to ask for. She certainly withholds no good thing from me and my siblings. This is not to say that we are spoilt. On the contrary, growing up we had the strictest dad on the block.

Was my Dad the real Indiana Jones?
When I was at school I always struggled when someone asked "What does your Dad do?" as it was a little hard to explain. If I gave them the truth they'd say I was making it up. I think my favourite example of this was when I was on the first date with my future wife. Sue asked me the question and I answered her truthfully.

‘Phenomenal Woman
Where do I begin? Should I start off by saying my very dear friend, or should I start by saying the woman who inspired me is my mother. A very dominant, strong, and brave woman. A woman who jumped every hurdle and overcame every obstacle that life throwed at her. Raising 2 children by herself, striving every day, working through her pregnancies to provide for me and my brother. My mother is my biggest inspiration because she simply has taught me the meaning of there is no excuse. No matter who supports you or who will be there for you physically, mentally, or emotionally you will have to do it yourself. Never depend on another person to do something that you are capable of doing. My mother also inspired me to be the best mother I can be to my children. I watched her go without to provide for my brother and I . I watched her sweat, I watched her cry but I also watched her never give up. The phenomenal woman she is pushed me to finish college and graduate while I was pregnant. She didn’t allow me to give up on myself. The spiritual side of her gave me faith and taught me how to pray without ceasing. I understood that whatever I wanted god to do I had to pray about it. My mother told me that no matter what goes on around me to pray and keep god first. She taught me virtues and values. I literally watched my mom everyday saying that no matter if she gave us everything we wanted or not she made sure we had everything we needed even if that meant making sacrifices. I would hear her pray so hard for me and my brother and that taught me how to pray for and over my children. I sit and think to myself of ways I can repay her for all of the things she has done for me and the sacrifices she made. My eyes are filled with tears as I wonder how did she manage and I look at myself and see her in me. Mother I want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done and everything you continue to do for me and my children. Dealing with me is probably the hardest thing but you manage to do it somehow. I hope that my story I shared will inspire and touch the lives of those who have experienced the same thing as me.

One of the Angels of this earth
I know a lot of people will write about their moms in this competition, and as much as I’d like to be different and stand out, I just can’t help myself but think of my mother first thing when someone mentions inspiring women. My mother, Ana, had me and my older siblings by the age she was 23. She was born in a small town in Montenegro and had only known how to speak serbian. Life in former yugoslavia was hard and getting a degree, which my mother did, didn’t seem to pay off. She decided she wanted a better future for her kids. While she was taking care of us and saving money my father was in Germany doing some shady business to get money, where he also would later go to jail, which is a stoy of its own. However this story is not about the disappointing men in the world. When my mom was 27 years old, she took me and my siblings and went off to Sweden. She couldn’t speak any english, let alone swedish. She was determined to get a better life for us to the point where she left everything she ever knew in her hometown, her family and friends and without ever traveling she went off to the country where her kids later on in life would call home. The road wasn’t straight and there were many obstacles but my mom never failed being there for us and providing when needed. She came to Sweden speaking no swedish or english, and found 3 jobs which she would constantly work at to be able to provide food and clothes for me and my siblings. She lost her younger sister during our first year in Sweden, and although that broke her heart she kept on fighting for us and moving forward. After our first 3 years in Sweden we were sent back to Montenegro to wait for our visa and had to spend a whole year there living 9 people in my grandmoms place which has 2 bed rooms. My mom never stopped fighting for us and she never gave up even though she didn’t know how the road was going to unfold. She is to this day the strongest, warmest and most stubborn person I know and if I have kids of my own one day I hope I too can be that good of a role model to them as my mother was for me and my siblings. She gave us the best life I could imagine and although we grew up without our dad ai never in my life felt that something was missing. I’ve had clean clothes, food on the table and a roof over my head. Right now I am in Australia and working to be able to save money to buy a ticket for my mom to come here, she has done so much for me that I feel like she would deserve something big back to her.
