    Thank you so much for this video, since this was my first Mother’s Day without my presious little angel Aimee, recieving this video was a pure honor to me when giving by another Mother who also lost her presious daughter. God bless you all for making every mother feel special.

    I then had to share it with all my friends whom have walked this path or who are just starting their journey with a child who has brain cancer. They are all in my book the most exceptional mother’s on this planet.

    Brilliant idea and a viral stroke-of-genius. Loved it!
    I sent the Mother of the Year Awards video to moms in Europe, Latin America, in addition to those in the US to honor them.

    My friends’ thank-you comments range from “It made my day!”, “Funniest video I’ve seen in a while” to “Is that for real?” The latter comment came from my 11 year-old son who kept watching it over and over again. I posted your success on Twitter.

    As a speaker and author, I’m interested in talking with the champion of this win-win Project for a couple of reasons: My second book: On “Innvation, Passion & Leadership” and sharing this success with my audiences.

    Thank so much!

    I believe in what you are doing, although my children are now grown and this does not affect me and my job. I would like to hear kudos for all the Moms that are now older and had no benefits. I would like to thank them for being an important part of who we are as Mothers today!!!!

    We definitely acknowledge with gratitude our moms and caregivers who came before us and paved the way. Very important point- thank you Katie!

    I sent this to every mom or female guardian in our cub scout pack. I’m sure they’re going to love this mother’s day award as much as I did. Thank you so much.
