Moms and Mother's Day

Remember those days when you couldn’t sleep without your mother tucking you in and reading you a bedtime story? Those days you would ask her to watch all your activities in school and she would stand there with tears in her eyes because of how proud you’ve made her? Those times she’d pretend she’s not hungry just so you could have that last slice of pizza? Sometimes we fail to appreciate the sacrifices our mothers make just to give us the best things in life and for all the love they’ve showered us with, from the moment we were born until this very day.


So what better way to show them how dear they are to our hearts than on Mother’s day this second week of May. Let us show to them how much they mean to us by putting aside our busy schedules and focusing our attention on them. Forget the material things, although it would be much appreciated, your presence on that day will be the greatest gift you could offer. Do spend time with your mothers, It is our chance to honor them the way they should be every single day. There are so many ways to make your mothers feel special. Spend some quality time; take her out to dinner, buy her favorite flowers and attach a thank you letter, or pamper her like she does with you every single day. These simple gestures you make to show that you love and appreciate her will mean the world to her.

To grasp the purpose of this annual celebration, let us understand the essence of having a mother. We owe all that we are today to them, our personal heroes. They are the ones that brought us into this world, they carried us inside their wombs and risked their lives just to give us this amazing gift called life. They guided us throughout our journey and witnessed us learn to do things on our own. They were there to celebrate our success, but also never failed to lift us up and encourage us during those times we felt hopeless. There truly is nothing more unconditional than a mother’s love.

Therefore let us celebrate our mothers on that very day. It is only one day, although they deserve so much more. It’s that day throughout the year that we are given the chance to show how grateful we are for these heroes. An occasion where all the mothers, grandmothers and also the mother figures deserve to be honored and treated like queens. This is the perfect time to give them flowers along with thank you letters, as well as kisses and chocolates. In addition, children should shower them with appreciation because without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
