How to Love a Single Mom Without Saying “I Love You”

Being a mom takes more than hard work. It requires dedication, understanding, strength, hope and faith to bring everything together. Being a single mom, on the other hand, is another story. A single mom’s responsibility is unique so loving one must be special as well. We asked children of single moms on how they show their mothers they love them without even uttering the words, “I love you” all the time.

Here are some heartwarming answers of how children of single moms show their love beyond words.

Saying “I love you” is to show her that everything that she worked for in bringing me up and educating me is all worth it in the end. [Showing her] is making sure that I am the person she raised me to be.

I just like to share about my day and talk to my mom about what’s up with my life. Both of us aren’t close with the rest of our family, and most of the time either she or I am out of the house. Sometimes, I just knock on her door to tell her about what I’m feeling, even if I’m busy. I just like spending the time with her even if it’s simple.

One of the ways I show my mom I love her is that I am there to help her as much as I can– to support her, be at her side and listen to her rants, and mostly to always pray for her.

I show my love by becoming the best version of myself. My mom has always taught me to make the right decisions in life. She has always been there to guide me and she never once made a big life decision for me without my consent. She always knew I had to learn from my mistakes, so by showing that I want to be the best version of myself proves how much she raised me to be the woman that I am today. It urges me to make her a proud mother, and to strive harder everyday for a better future. The reason why I want to take the same university course as her is because she has molded me to follow my passion. She made me believe I am capable of becoming the person I strive to be. I show my mother I love her without saying the words “I love you” by striving hard to become successful and by making her proud.
