We all have one and, let’s be real, she’s pretty awesome. She raised us, kissed our boo-boos, made our lunches, and made sure we were on time to piano practice. Mom did it all and then some!
So, be sure to nominate her to be Oxford’s Coolest Mom by Friday, May 9th! That’s just two more days to send your mom the perfect Mother’s Day gift!

[quote]I honestly don’t know how my mother does it. She has given up her life but still has this spunk and positive attitude about her. She always told me that no matter what is going on, you can find something positive to be grateful for. When my brother was four and I was two, he was diagnosed with autism. My father left as most people can’t handle all of the stress of raising a disabled child. My mother has three children including myself and has raised us all as a single mother. These days, my mother spends her days driving my brother to work. There are no work programs in our area for adults with special needs so she drives him half and hour to work, half an hour back and then does it all over again in the afternoon to pick him up and bring him home. She takes him to basketball practice and ensures that he lives a quality life like a normal adult man. She doesn’t have any free time since he cannot be left alone. Dating? Working? She’s given all that up to be there and care for him and for us. Times have been hard and money has been tight but she gives every penny she has to provide a roof over our head and food on the table. I work hard everyday and am inspired by the strength of my mother. She deserves the world and I wish I could give it to her. I would love nothing more than to win this for her and show her that I’m not e only one who sees how special she truly is. Thank you.
