Saturday Night Contest - Mother's Day

[CaseyRudd]

What's up guys! I hope you all have had a fantastic weekend thus far. Mother's Day is tomorrow, or today for all of you overseas. We want tonight's contest to keep your mom in mind. How will you do it?

Tonight's challenge is very simple: give a short explanation (or long if you want!) on how your mother inspires you. That's it! This day is all about the mothers, so we wanted this to be very easy and to let all of you celebrate and enter without worrying about completing a challenge.

All submissions should be posted in response to THIS forum thread by no later than 11:00pm EST tomorrow, Sunday, May 11th.

What's the prize, you ask? We will select a submission at random to take home 3 decks of Monarch Summer Edition Playing Cards and 1,000 Elite Points!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Real talk alert, I can’t really talk about how MY mother inspired me, because she has narcissistic behaviour (if you don’t know what a narcissistic parent is, you should look it up, you will be surprised)

But I can talk about a mother who actually inspired me. She is the mother of one of my best friends.

When her husband went through liver transplant surgery she was the sole caregiver to him and her 3 children who were at the time in elementary school.

Working as a college professor, raising kids, cooking, helping her husband recover, and the list goes on and on.

That story always blows my mind.

Happy Mother’s Day.

If it wasn’t for my mom, I wouldn’t be who I am now. She always took care of me when I was little and is always there when I need her to this day. She always encourages me to follow my dreams, and loves me regardless of my mistakes/failures. I love you mom. Thank you for everything.

Made my childhood the coolest ever! Encouraged me to really try everything, and supported me no matter what.
Truly my best and truest friend

Also funny coincidence: My mom was the one who helped me with an idea for a photo that won me my First SNC ! So nice throwback to that memory

 

[Bayoubi]

My mom is an inspiration as she did everything to make sure my childhood was awesome. Being a single mother raising two kids she killed it. Shout out to my mama !

My mother inspires me through her quiet strength and endless kindness. No matter how tough things get, she faces every challenge with patience and grace. She taught me that true success isn’t about being the loudest or the fastest — it’s about staying true to yourself and lifting others up along the way. Every day, I try to carry a little bit of her love and resilience with me. Happy Mother's Day

My mother taught me to follow your passions, love God with all your heart, and to do everything in your power to give your kids the best life possible.

My mom has always pursued anything she thinks she will do well at and have fun, and she’s excelled in every way. She’s inspired me to do the same and chase my dreams while making them achievable.

My mom is that constant source of support and caring. Always having belief in her family and she’s just unwavering. I’m very lucky to have her as a mother.

 

[Furrukh]

If it wasn't for my mom I wouldn't be what I am today. She passed away, emotional to write any further

 

[Youru]

I feel very lucky to have a mother as good as she is. I admire her for everything she does, helping and supporting, not only me and the rest of my family, even strangers. I know she is always there for me, like I am for her, and I wouldn't be who I am today if not for the education she and my father gave me.

 

[Tyce W.]

My mom is like no one else. She has the ability to see those in need and connect with them when they need it. She has made me who I am today and has taught me attributes that will last a lifetime. I love her so much.

 

[OriF]

My mother is my anchor, inspiration and example for what and how to do certain things I encounter for the first time. Also, we have a very close relationship that encompasses giving life advice and helping with every mundane thing, and we also love to solve logic puzzles and conundrums together, which is always a plus.

My mother was a caring loving person. She always was supportive of anything I did. She inspired me to never give up because when she became ill, she fought until she couldn't anymore. Even though she isn't with me anymore, I carry her with me in how I approach things and live my life, the way that would make her proud.

 

[PeterC9]

My mother gave me a belief to believe in my self and to do what is right. She told me it is easy to do right when people are looking but it is hard to do it when they are not. She said that there will come a day when you must decide on what side you want to be on and what you are willing to sacrifice to do what you must.

 

[Sleck]

My mom is a very hardworking woman. Throughout my entire life, we've had our up's and down's but she is always there for me and always keeps her head up even during tough times. I inspired to be strong and hardworking like her everyday!

 

[StephaneH3]

My mom taught me how to play cribbage so she could have someone to play with That's when I received the love for cards! Lots of card games and lots of fun in family. I'll always love and cherish her!

Happy mothers day to all of your family!

My mom is someone I can talk to about anything and she is a very wonderful, caring, thoughtful person in general.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you people.
