In preparation for Mother's Day, the Missourian, KBIA and KOMU asked that question of their audiences. Some people shared just the one word, and some chose to tell us about a moment or situation that explains why they chose it.
In a collaboration with KOMU, and the Columbia Missourian, KBIA asked our listeners "What one word describes your mother?" The Columbia Missourian wrote up some of the great answers we got.
