Happy Mother's Day 2006
Mother's Day is May 14 and Acorn readers offer these best wishes to the greatest moms in the world
-Ken and Linda Thompson, Agoura Hills I was reading in bed to keep me awake. I heard the door open and my mother's voice. She was home from a business trip to Boston. She strives to be the best mom she can be, which is hard when you work all day. I know she loves me because she tries to be at important events, such as school conferences and birthdays. On the weekends we golf, shop or bake together. This Mother's Day, I will make sure she knows how special she is to me and how much I love her.
On this Mother's Day, I want to thank my mom, Marcia Sarowitz. Even though I am 32 years old with three kids of my own, my mom still takes care of me. She is always there for me and is the greatest mother, grandmother and friend I could ever ask for. Thanks, mom for all that you do. You are truly the best. I love you. -Jillian Greenberg, Oak Park My mom is Carole Kornreich. I love you so much. You are such an amazing mom and I am lucky to have a mom like you. You are not only a mother to me, but o others. Everyone you talk to is blessed. I hope you have an amazing Mother's Day because you truly are an amazing mother. -Jaclyn Kornreich, Oak Park My mom, Helen Stella Hutton, is not only my guardian; she is my guardian angel. She is the painting of love, honesty, positivity and security to me and everyone that is blessed to know her. I have always needed my mom and in a difficult time, I found my best friend. I love you and thank you for pushing me to be a better person. You are an amazing role model.
Dear Mommy, I just wanted to tell you that you are the best. I really like it when you and I play at the park together. You make the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I think you're the best mom ever. I will always love you. -Kyle Goldbeck, Agoura Hills Mother's Day is a time to say thanks and we have so much to thank you for. You are the best mommy in the world. We both know how busy you are with work and everything else you do, so thanks for always making time for us and making us feel soooo special. You drive us to sports, dance and school and are always there for us. You are the most amazing mommy in the world and we are the luckiest kids alive to have you as our mom.
Versatility describes our mother, Dr. Juliana Townsend Gensley. A favorite childhood memory is the aroma of her pies baking in a wood stove in the one-room cabin built by our father. During the week she taught school and worked with the Girl Scouts. For this she was recognized nationally with the Thanks Badge for pioneering camping and Senior Scouting in the South Bay. As a professor of education at Cal State Long Beach she became president of the National Association for Gifted Children 19791981. As well as being mother to us and gram to our children, she was a Malibu Creek State Park docent and charter member of the Calabasas Historical Society. -Robin Gensley Mitchell, Calabasas Thank you, mom, for all the love and care you give your children. We especially appreciate all the smooches, hugs, jokes, laughing, comforting, help with homework, sports coaching, cheering at games, encouragement at school, teaching, first aid, car pooling, lunch making, clothes washing, game playing, things that you do. It is evident that you enjoy all of these things as much as we do (ok, not the chores and especially not the lunch-making). From Rebecca, Nicole, John and Maggie, we love you. -Michael Wildermuth, Westlake Village Mom, you are so special And everyone can see, You are the nicest mother And you mean so much to me, To me you are the best And no one can deny That you're the perfect mother And that is not a lie, This isn't just a poem But it is all plain true That you're the perfect mother And that's why I love you! -Bennett Ryle, Westlake Village Our mom is an incredible person. She is caring, happy, full of joy and always safe and lovingWhether she is helping us with tough times, with our day-to-day school activities or just running us around, playing games or simply listening and putting up with us, she does it with all the love in the world. Our mom is special and unique in so many ways and we wouldn't have it or want it any other way. Happy Mother's Day. We love you so much. -Ryan and Trevor Darling, Oak Park My mom, Carol Royal, is very special for many great reasons.
