These all mean the same thing..Mother. It doesn't matter what language we speak or where we are from, we  all have a best friend and her name is Mom. 

To me, mother means best friend, example, beautiful, funny, confidence, care-giver, caring, understanding, and so much more. My mom is my ultimate best friend. She has and is always there for me no matter what I say or do. She still loves me. I'm not always the most pleasant person to be around, but she still puts up with me. It's especially nice considering I'm 20 and still live at home..;) I love my mom to the stars and back. She is my example of what to do.  Whether it be an emergency, a life decision, or a  spiritual decision. I think "Would mama approve of this??" Although, some times I don't listen to her and I end up on my butt with my tail between my legs, I always learn my lesson in the end because of her.  

My mom has taught me many things. Confidence. Charity. Kindness. Laughter. Sense of Humor. How to be a friend, even when your friends aren't friends. How to get through the tough times. To keep my head up and don't cry. And that sometimes, a good cry is what you need. She has taught me how to have faith in God and in His son. She has taught me to listen to the Holy Ghost when He speaks. She has taught me how to be  a faithful woman of the church. She has taught me how to love those who are not easy to love.  She has taught me to see the world in a different way than most, how to see the beauty and the simplicity of it all. My mom is amazing. I have no clue to what I would do without her and I refuse to think of such things. 

Also, might I add, I am very grateful that she feeds me. I have been home alone this weekend and I have nothing to eat except cereal and good old Carl's and Denny's. (I need to learn to cook.) It really opened up my eyes to how much she provides for me.  In many different ways.

I love you mama.
