We asked, and you answered!
In the week leading up to Mother’s Day, we here at InspireMore asked our social media followers to tell us why they think their mom is the very best in the world. We were overwhelmed by the depth and tenderness of your replies, so we’ve compiled a few of our favorite Mom nominations below.
It was incredibly hard to select just one winner because honestly, every single story moved us beyond words. Thank you to everyone who shared what makes their mothers so special. We appreciate you!
Drum roll please… the WINNER is Laurie Case Bresse’s mom Chris.
