Mom \ The Winner of this year's contest

I had a really hard time chosing.
I had so many well written entries.
So many great stories.
So many wonderful women.


This one was so simple, it just touched me for too many reasons:

"My Mom"
Nominated by Stacy

My mom is my best friend, my confidant and most important my mother. Let me start by saying I was not an easy child to raise. I traveled all over the world. I made monthly phone calls from random places and called when I was out of money. My parents were always there for me.

One time I went to South America for a week and didn't come back for a year. My mom had to cancel all my classes in the University. She didn't speak to me for 3 months. But I knew she loved me.

My father died 9 years ago. Now my mom is suffering from Chronic Renal Failure. She needs a kidney. They have told me I am overweight and cannot even be tested for compatibility. I am scared to lose my best friend, my confidant and most important my mother.
