Happy Mother's Day 2008
Mother's Day is May 11 and Acorn readers offer these best wishes to the greatest moms in the world

Jean Schlatter is the most rootin' tootin' mother in town! She is the best in the west because she's the biggest brainiac and can complete a sudoko poem faster than anyone we know. Mom has greener thumbs than anyone in all the land. We can't wait until her homegrown tomatoes are included in her amazing repertoire of dinners.

Plus, she's so purdy, especially when she wears her Meaty shirt. Our mother is our favorite celebrity, especially since she played with the Harlem Globetrotters. We love Mom so much and she deserves every day to be Mother's Day. XOXOX! Michelle and Brian Schlatter Moorpark

Dear Mom, Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for everything you do for us; we really appreciate it. You are the greatest mom in the whole wide world. I don't know if my clothes would ever be washed if it weren't for you. I wouldn't ever be up and ready for school on time if it weren't for you.

And lastly, I don't know how I would finish my homework without the best teacher there is, Kimberly Marie Francis. Thanks for always being there when we need you most. We love you.

Tyler, Kylie, and Madison

Ever since I was a baby and even today, my mother puts me before herself on every occasion. She encourages my talents and provides enough everlasting affection for the likes of two parents. We celebrate our relationship by taking part in activities that we enjoy, knowing they will bring us closer as a family. She has raised me on her own and has put me through college completely on her own. My promise is to make her feel special every day out of the year. I love you Mom. Happy Mother's Day.

Samuel Brock

Mom, I want to wish you a very happy Mother's Day. You are such an amazing person, someone to look up to. I am so thankful that you are my mom and my best friend. May God bless you always. I love you so much. And thank you for everything.

Marlene Castillo

Mom, my entire life you have always been there for me, supporting me in everything I do. Despite what you may think, I really do appreciate all you efforts, whether it be making extra snacks for me after school or constantly driving me to practices, the mall, school, etc. You are the best mom a person could wish for, and I love you with all my heart. Hope you have the best Mother's Day ever! Jamie Lane

Mommy is special because I love her so much. She plays with me. My favorite game to do with Mommy is basketball. She lets me go and play with my friends. She lets me go with her places. She helps me with my hair. I love ballet and Mommy takes me to gymnastics and ballet and tap class. I love Mommy everywhere.

Sophia Lysobey

My mother's special because she always reaches out to help others. She is also fun to be around, loving, and compassionate. She makes me blessed to have a mother like her, and I feel fortunate to have her around, for I usually need help with my school work.

Even though we have our ups and downs, I give her an honest apology and I hug her, and she knows that I care about her. She is passionate about nature, polar bears, and music and I'd like to follow her footsteps. Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Dylan P. Goss

Mom, you use to say we will not know how you feel until we become moms ourselves. The unconditional love we will have for our children. We will love, hurt, feel, breathe, even die for them. We will only want the best for them.

I can't say how right you were. Thank you for the greatest gift of all. You blessed us by giving us life and the ability to bring life into this world. Thank you for your love, hope, trust, and helping us become who we are today. Happy Mother's Day. We love you much.

Christine Arambula

Mom, from your "Smoke on the Water" singing to Barry Manilow loving and from your random, silly dancing to having "Kobe moments," you truly are one of a kind, and this is why we love you. We do not know where we would be without your support. Thank you for everything and happy Mother's Day!

Halez, D-Man, and Heddy Hawthorne

Moth•er n.: 1. A female parent. 2. A caring and loving person. 3. A role model. 4. Inspiration. 5. A best friend.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you!

Keiko McNamara

You know this already, Mom, but we love you. You're always there for us and we can tell you anything. You have raised two beautiful, kind and successful daughters. There's no way to repay you for all the sacrifices you have made for your family. You are a genuinely amazing woman and we can't wait to be just like you. Not only is it wonderful to have such a great mom, but it's nice to have a best friend too. We love you! Casey and Sunni Collins

My mom's name is Sharon. I love my mom so much. She helps me through the toughest times. She always tells me what's right from wrong. She loves me so much and takes care of me when I'm sick. I know that my mom is the best mom ever. I can tell that my mom works really hard for me, but today is her day and she's going to take the day off. My mom let me get a bunny for my birthday when I already had a hamster and fish. Isn't she nice? The main point of this is that I love my mommy.

Lindsey Hennick

In 1962, when my brother and I were four and six, our father died unexpectedly. At 29 years old my mom (Casey) was a widow with two young children. She had never driven a car, but she learned. Mom got a job and raised us with lots of love, discipline and solid Midwestern values. It wasn't until I became a mother to her only grandson that I realized how amazing she was and wondered where she got the strength sometimes.

When my brother passed away at 42, she somehow found the courage to go on. Losing mom two years ago, at age 72, I wonder how I find the strength to carry on. But then, she'd expect nothing less. We love you and miss you, Mom! Karen, Paul and Ryan Henley
My mom's the best, she's the best like no other,
She's the best ever! She's my loving mother.
She's always so blithe, and so happy every day,
I would never expect her any other way.
My mom takes good care of ourselves, the three ducks,
Without a complaint, never saying, "OMG my life sucks!"
She never minds the perpetual noise of us three,
I think she thinks in her head, "Oh well, they're just kidsso just let them be!"
Now comes the end of my fun-derful tale,
I've not a single last word to say, not one tiny detail.

Danielle Bautista, 12

My mom is special so she lets me play games and watch TV. My mom lets me go on rollercoasters and many other ones. My mom plays a activity with me like cards and more. I have the most awesome mom ever. Ryan Stewart

Have you ever thought of a mom that was so purely superb that nothing else in the world could compare to the likeness of her? Well, then you're thinking of my mom. She is so virtuous and generous that I am amazed by her patience. When my sister is reluctant to play board games with me, my mother volunteers to do so. Not that I am saying my sister is mean. That's a whole different story. She (my mom) also helps me with clay and collage work. I can't imagine what the world would be like without my mom! Irene Thomas

You are the greatest
You'll see why
You clean the dishes
Wash the clothes
And cook us food.

Joy fills the home with happiness and

You always make our birthdays fun
And never throw a fit
On almost everything we say.
Now you see all this stuff about you,
I love you!

Dear Mom, You are really special to me because you play with me and take care of me. You help me when I fall and take me to my room. You have taught me how to talk well and walk. You are always paying attention to me and being nice to me. You are the nicest mom ever. This is why I love you so much and always will.

Dear Mommy, You're the best mom anyone can have. You can never be replaced because you work hard and help me when I'm down. Thanks for feeding me, driving me to activities, helping me with my homework, and being the best mom. Mom, you're not just an ordinary mom because you play sports with me, cook awesome foods, read with me, and are extremely funny. I love having you around because you're so cool. I love you so much. XOXO. Thanks for being the best mom every. Happy Mother's Day.

Dear Mommy, I love you so much. I love it when you play American Girls with me. You love me and I love you. My favorite thing to do with you is to talk, go shopping, read, and go on a girl's day. When I broke my arm, I remember you coming to pick me up. You took me to the emergency room. You made me feel so much better. My mom loves me and I love her! I'm blowing you tons of kisses, Mom.

Dear Mom, You are special because you mostly buy me everything I want. You really care about me. That's really nice! You always help me with my homework when I need help. You're the best mom because you always talk to me when I'm sad. You're a very caring and loving mom.

My mom is a wondrous worker because she does my bed before I know it. My mom is a very special mom. She helped me ride my bike and use the gears. I got better and better. Soon I could ride my bike perfectly. One day I rode it to school and it broke. My mom was so generous that she took me all the way to Santa Barbara to get me a cool and better bike that wouldn't break.

Why You Are So Special Who is the kindest person in the world? My mother.
She washes my clothes,
And washes my toes.
She helps me with my homework,
And helps with the puppy.
She keeps me groovy,
And takes me to a movie.
I love you. You're the best!

Lindsay Shargo, 8

Mom, I know that life sometimes can be very hard,

But I appreciate you for keeping me safe,

And protecting me like a guard.

It can be irritating to always have to listen to "stop pulling my hair."

But I always know that you love me with care.

I think there is only one person, That is the best. And that is you. When you are here with me, I don't care about the rest. You have lived with me all these years,

And now I'm nine.

I'm so glad that you are all mine.

Natalie Shaffer, 9

Dear Mom, This is why I love you: You take care of me and love me. You feed me wonderful meals when I know others in the world go without. You provide me education so that I can learn. You take the time to provide me a wonderful home. You put me in sports so that I can be better athletically. You work so hard that you can afford an enjoyable car to drive in. You give me nice clothes that I wear.

Hope Nepstad, 9

Dear Mom, You are so nice to me and never let me down. You buy me the things I need and feed me my favorite, tacos. You do my laundry and pick me up from school. I love when you play catch with me. Thank you for taking care of me. Michael Keane, 9
Mother's Love
Child, what's t' be found
'neath th' broilin' sun 'bove
that's as sweet an' as strong
as th' mater's great love?
Half o' honey soaked cake
half o' stoutest o' steel
What equals this thing
That one's "mama" doth feel?
Nought! Thou wilt not find
outght that's like it; Nay, sprout
tho' thou search till thine feet
down t' bone art worn out!
