Decent Collection of Stories
May 28 2010
By Jeremy A. Giles
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I recently purchased the Thanks Mom volume of Chicken Soup for the Soul around Mother's Day this year. My mom passed away in a car accident about a month before Mother's Day last year and I thought the book would have some interesting anecdotes about the special bonds between mothers and children. Some of the stories were great, but many like another reviewer said were slower to get to the point. Some were downright dull and some put a lump in my throat. I have read other Chicken Soup for the Soul books and while this one was very good, I think the selection of stories could have been better. I did like one of the later ones where the mom tells her son she had to come to his games because he was there. What a sweet story that put a smile on my face and my heart. More stories like this one would have been much appreciated. A good book nonetheless.

Great gift for any mom or yourself!

Being the first of five kids, I was not the only child begging for my moms attention. And throughout my teenage years when I would tell her how much I hate her, I now laugh because I don't even go a day without talking to her! Then when I had my own sons and they started needing me, I realized how great it is to be a mom, even when I have to change poopy diapers and clean up vomit! Moms really are important, great, and know everything! Well this Chicken Soup book is adorable. It made me laugh, cry, think about my mom, and appreciate my kids.
The book is broken down first into sections including: Following in Her Footsteps, Mom Knows Best, Making Sacrifices, Favorite Moments, Mom to the Rescue, What Goes Around Comes Around, One of a Kind, Gifts of the Heart, and My Mother's Legacy. Each section then has personal stories relating to the topic. I love that I can pick up this book anytime and read a section I am looking for guidance or just need at the time. I have also been randomly picking up the book and reading stories, which is especially easy for a busy mom since they are only a few pages long. Some of the stories are exactly what I needed to make myself feel better and laugh.
This book would make a great Mother's Day present or just a present for any special mom in your life!
