" My mom is the most special woman on Earth." That's what many of us believe. She makes the best cookies. She tells the funniest jokes. She can kiss a hurt and make it feel all better. Or she will just be there whenever you need her. And some of us have only fond memories of our wonderful mothers.
We want to know what makes - or made - her the best mom in the world. Send us your stories about your mom, in 100 words or fewer, to dziemba@thedailystar.com, through this form, or mail them to The Daily Star, attention Denielle Ziemba, PO Box 250, Oneonta, NY 13820 no later than April 23, 2010. We will print as many as we can in our Lifestyles section in the May 8 and 9 edition. Please include your name, hometown and phone number. Phone numbers and emails will not be printed.
