Mommy Mary written by Cathrine Hickland
Cathrine's mom's eightieth birthday is coming soon, but in her eyes,she still looks her mom like the same as when Cathrine was five years old and looked up to the woman who taught her so much about everything. Her mom divorced when she was five, Cathrine said:"My had many hardships, but still managed to install the values of love, hard work, and being there for others. Also, Cathrine feels so greatful about herself, so many of the kids she grew up with didn't live to see twenty-two or they didn't have any focus or direction in their lives. In the middle of Cathline childhood, her mom had an emotional breakdown; the finanial stress and pressure of raising two kids alone became too much. Anyway, she loves her mom so much, she is the hero to Cathrine.

The Greatest Gift written by Eva La Rue
I found out the section I read is mostly talking about how single mother raised their children after divorce. Like this one "The Greatest Gift" written by Eva La Rule. It is talking about a normal mom who had been really responsible for her children. After Eva's older brother, Chuck, was killed accidently by a drunk driver. Her mom realized how easy life could be lost, so she started offer Eva and her sister, Nika, all they wanted. For this unlucky family, life has been struggling because theirs dad living situation was not well also. For supporting our interets ,and discovered our talent, she usually took two or three jobs at the sametime.She took a weekend job at an ice-sketing place, and use her working hours exchange lessons for Eva, and Nika. She did something like mailroom service, and plastic company work,too. She never forgetten drove us to our dance class five days a week for ten years. Eva had a chance to experience same thing as her mother did. When the time she raised her child she felt to be a good mother is a hard thing. Therefore, she always appreciate what her mom done to her which directed her to find and reached her dream.

Personal Opinion
Life could be very hard if you are a single mother who is going raise their children by yourself. That is the common idea I got from reading those two chapters. Compare to those two passages, both of authors were having a similar childhood background. They all appriciated very much for what their moms tought them. However, as my view both moms have their own spcial part. First moms has fall down once, for there were lots of stress she need to face. She is a strick mom, she set up the rules for her girls and did look after them very carefully. On the other hand, the second mom is very responsible, and she spoiled her girls a little bit. But she did a perfect job to support her girls dream. Mother's love is the most precious love in the world. Here, I want to say I love you, mom.
