thank you

whether you shared your mom's philosophy or read and rated stories from others, you've helped spread the word that moms are truly the light of the world.

more than 1000 stories were written, each touching in its own way. in the end, only five votes separated the two stories our readers found most remarkable. we're delighted to tell you that both of these moms will receive our grand prize.
