Moms are supposed to be there for you every day and night, well my mom is sure there for me and both my sisters. My younger sister Rebecca is severely mentally retarded and had a shunt in her head. She can't walk, talk, or eat through her mouth. She has a tummy tube. She is very hard to take care of. My mother is soo brave and is always there to help us even when she is sick. My parents aren't divorced but my dad works in XXXX when we live in a small suburb near Cleveland so he is out of town all week until the weekend and leaves again Sunday night every week! My mom has basically taken care of us alone on weekdays. My mom is not only there for us but she is a MH (multiply Handicapped) teacher in the public schools. She helps her students learn to read, write, do arithmetic, and such even though they all come from families where it is harder for them to learn. My mom is there for everyone when they need it. My mom is so brave by even getting up and saying "I'm going to face this day" even if it does mean taking care of three daughters alone (one who is handicapped). And she is going to teach these disabled kids to learn. My mom is one mom who really truly and honestly deserves this. Please help crown my mom the bravest, best mom in the whole world! She has done everything she can and is always there for everyone.

The bravest moms on the web are our Girl's World Moms. Our moms work hard to keep up with us. They hold broken families together and keep warring siblings apart. They fight to make our dreams come true. They take risks, rescue animals, face angry bosses and save kids in trouble. Every girl who wrote us about her mom knows how brave she is every day.

It was hard to pick just a few stories to share from thousands of entries. Everyone who wrote in deserves to be a winner. From the Girl's World Crew to the moms of the world, we hope your see yourselves in these stories. Happy Mother's Day! -- from the AGW crew!
