Being patient, supportive, God-fearing, and hard working are the qualities of my mother that inspire me most. She patiently helps us grow and learn on our own with her guidance. From our financial needs to our hobbies, she never fails to support us with what she can provide. Also, she’s had always been a God-fearing woman who centres her life on God and his words, and she never fails to guide her children. I’ve been inspired to keep working hard because of her. She taught me that working hard will not cost me anything but rather will drive me to achieve my dreams and goals. Happy Mothers’ Day, mum!

My mother is a good wife, mother and public servant. Whole-hearted in the service to the community, she also sacrificed most for the family. She stands as a mother and father to us. She is our protector in times of calamities and harm; a doctor or nurse when we are sick or physically harmed; a teacher or lawyer to defend us; a cook who can do many dishes at a time. Like a politician she is there to always remind us the laws. She is our announcer for the daily reminder of dos and donts and many more.

The qualities of my mother that inspire me most is her being a loving and caring person. She would get up early in the morning to prepare for our breakfast and make sure we will eat before going to school. She would even prepare our school bags, uniforms and snacks. She makes sure that we are well groomed and presentable. Our family is united and happy. She taught us how to pray the rosary, pray at any circumstances and urge us to attend Mass on Sundays. We learned a lot of good things about life and God through her. Thanks to my beloved mother!

My mother is such an inspiration for me because even though she married young, she is very responsible. She took very good care of all of us and I never hear her complain about anything. Hand in hand with my father, she did everything to help meet the family’s needs. She also taught us to be polite and be generous to other people. When I need someone to lean on, she became a friend and a confidant to me. She gave me advice when necessary. Most of all, she instilled in our hearts to be God-fearing. We pray together and go to Mass with her. I love my mom dearly.

My mother was my root and my foundation. Her strength and capabilities to do something unimaginable made me stronger to fight for my life’s struggles. Without her at my side I would not have been able to raise my children to what they have become now. She was my fuel that enabled me to do the impossible. How I wish she were still alive so that I could make her become the happiest mother on earth.
