During these trying times, it may be little harder to show mom just how special she is. So this Mother's Day, the team at Wigs.com reached out to our community and offered our amazing clients the chance to tell the world about their wonderful mama or mother-figure in their life! A message to moms from our CEO "Who would we be without the woman we call “mom" in our life? With SO MUCH quarantine time on my hands lately… I have been thinking about the mom I am and the mom I have! I’m so thankful for her influence and advice. Grateful for her affect on me and how I live my life. Being a mom is sometimes such a thankless job, yet the most cherished job in the world :-) During this unprecedented time in our history, it is a great opportunity for us to stop thinking of ourselves for a moment and cherish the woman or the memories of the woman we call “mom." What a perfect time to be thankful for all we have and to be thankful for the “mom experience“ God gave us. For all of you out there who are moms and most assuredly don’t get enough thanks for it… THANK YOU! It is not a job usually done to receive gratitude, which makes it all the more admirable! Hopefully, we can all stop for just a moment right now to take an account of what the word MOM means to each of us." - Carliz Sotelo Moore Thank you for the beautiful message, Carliz! Read the beautiful entries below about some incredible women in the world... Bethann Mcgorry "This is my mom. We lost her 3 years go to brain cancer. She was an amazing soul... strong and fierce... held me to a high standard in life. Even after her passing she is with me... leading me through the mud sometimes. I miss her every day..." - Bethann Mcgorry (Instagram: @bethannmcgorry) Esther Schwartz "My mom had a hard childhood where she helped her mom that also had a mental condition. She was the third in a family of seven. She got married to my wonderful father who also came from a challenged background. He lost his mom at age eleven since she was carrying a child and refused to abort. She had brain cancer, so they married and had four children: Esther, Aaron, Hannah, and Feagy. I am the oldest of this wonderful family. Afterwards, my mom developed schizophrenia, and she raised us with love and devotion. My mom is a living example of overcoming hardships no matter what. Her motto is 'labeling is disabling' - she is my living inspiration never to give up. The picture above is of me and my son. I want to share this message with the world that being disabled does not make you lesser in any way. There's nothing wrong with getting help because it shows strength." - Esther Schwartz (Instagram: @eys_baby_blu) Laya-Dorina Lata "My mom has a great sense of humor and her cooking is to die for. She pours her heart into the most complex dishes to something simple like mango nectar. She also spoiled me, and I was able to avoid most chores expected of me This is my aunt, who I call Amma, and she took care of me while my parents worked. Her own children were young teens then and they all babied me and made sure I always had a healthy supply of mangoes and sugar cane nearby" - Laya-Dorina Lata (Instagram: @browngirl_withflair) Kira Wilson "I’m really lucky that I not only have an amazing mother, but I have an equally amazing mother-in-law. These beautiful women have been through so much in their lives and overcame many obstacles along the way. My mother, Linda (left) , raised me with all of the love and support I could ever ask for. She instilled in me the value of family, trust, kindness, respect and love. She encouraged me to live life without regrets and to follow my dreams. She’s been there for every one of my significant milestones in life. Mom loved me even when I was practically unlovable as a teenager...for this alone, she should be awarded sainthood. She is my best friend and biggest supporter. My mom has an enormous heart and would do anything to help someone in need. I also must mention she’s an incredibly devoted Nana to our two boys and my brother’s girls! When I married my husband, he already had a son from a previous marriage. My mom and dad didn’t even skip a beat. They welcomed them both with open arms, as if they had always been part of our family. Mom and I still talk and text every day. I can’t imagine life without her and I’m grateful for every moment we have together. My mother-in-law Toni (right) is fabulous! How many of us can actually say that they absolutely love their mother-in-law as much as their biological mother? I truly won the in-law lottery when I married my husband. From the moment I met her, I knew she was my kind of people. She’s funny, kind, loving, giving, caring and best of all...sassy! Like my mom, she’s an awesome grandma to all of her grandkids and loves my son as if he was her biological grandson. Toni also calls me on every birthday to sing happy birthday, like she does with all of her kids. I mean come on, she rode motorcycles up until recently when she retired. How cool is this lady? So this Mother’s Day, I would like to recognize the two women that I admire and love the most. Thank you Mom and Toni for all that you do and for being such strong and inspirational women. I love you both to the moon and back. Happy Mother’s Day!" - Kira WIlson (Instagram: @d8tnohiochick) Kristin Rubin "Mom, You are amazing. Thanks for always being the best! I love you." - Kristin Rubin, Jr. Inventory Analyst at Beauty & Hair Tanya Kolb "You have been an inspiration to me showing what a strong, motivated, and beautiful (both inside and out) woman should be!" - Tanya Kolb, Client Care Manager at Beauty & Hair Davia Victor "The best mom a girl could ask for! Thank you mom for your love and support, I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you! My forever girl." - Davia Victor, Client Care Representative at Beauty & Hair Chaitlin Bell "From the butterfly kisses to hugs like a bear, my mom is amazing because she’s always there. She holds me when I’m down, she makes me feel strong, she’s a woman I truly admire, even though we don’t always get along. It breaks my heart that we can’t be together today, but my mom is so powerful that I can feel her love from miles away. I hope she knows my love for her stretches as far as the eye can see. Mommy, I’m everything I am because you loved me." - Chaitlin Bell, Media & Vendor Relations at Beauty & Hair Stories have been edited for clarity where needed.
