"My mom was always the cool mom," says Lopez. "She was the shining light, and even to this day, you know, she walks into a room and lights it up. She's the life of the party, but more than that, she's my mom."

"What makes my mom so special, and in fact, amazing is this woman is tough," says Dr. Phil. "She's 85 years old, has two broken hips, continues to go, got diagnosed with terminal cancer with three months to live seven years ago. And she says, 'You know what? They've got their schedule -- I've got mine.'"

"My mom is the most special person in my life," says Katie Lee. "I love her so much, and on Mother's Day I always think back to the time when I decided to cook breakfast for her when I was a little kid. I put a table spoon of salt instead of a teaspoon in the pancakes, and she still ate every bite and pretended to love them because I had made it. Nowadays I make her really good ones. So happy Mother's Day, mom -- I love you!"

"What made my mom so special is that she told me stories of great heroes and heroines in history, mythology, and religion," says Chopra. "She told me, 'These are your mentors -- your role models, and one day you'll do great things because these people will inspire you.'"
Chip Reid and His Mom
CBS
"One of my favorite stories about my mother is when I was about 10 years old, I was away at camp, and I was so home sick, I couldn't stand it," says Reid. "I said these immortal words, 'You don't love me!' Well, I heard a gasp on the other end of the phone. She rolled into camp; she pulled up to my tent; she loaded me into the car, and I was gone. She just told me she loved me, and that was the end of the discussion. I have never doubted that my mother loved me. So for Mother's Day mom, 'I love you too.'"
