Happy Mother's Day

 "God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers". How true!

 The second Sunday of May is celebrated in many parts of the world as mother's day. It's a day dedicated to motherhood. Mother– the loveliest creation of God, whom he bestowed with the power to bring a new life into this world. She is the one who can be soft and gentle to tender to her little one, but at the same time she can be strong and powerful to protect her family from harm.

Most of us would agree that a mother has the strongest influence in our lives. She imbibes in us, all the values of life that make us the person we are. She bears many hardships in life for the welfare of her children. Family happiness is the highest priority in her life. She spends sleepless nights caressing sick toddlers in arms, singing lullabies and reading out fairy tales to her kids after a hard day's work. Numerous times she has sacrificed her wishes for the sake of her kids- opting for the circus instead of the movie theatre or choosing cartoon network over daily soaps, the fancy dress over a kitty party- all with a smile. She has to play many roles as a mother– she is a friend, soul mate, teacher, doctor, agony aunt – all in one.

She has taught us everything from brushing our teeth to reading and writing, from tying shoe laces to table manners- we are but a reflection of her. She cares gently for her sick child, but is the strict disciplinarian when he does something wrong. However old we may grow, for them we are the little one she brought into the world and she will always love us and care of us in the same way as she did when she first took us in her arms.

Their contribution to the society is huge and immeasurable. Mothers are the true builders of society since they have the greatest influence in crafting the future generation. Hence their job is very demanding and one of huge responsibility. It is all the more difficult for the modern mother who juggles between office meetings and school homework, putting in that extra effort each day to balance her ambitions and her home.

She is the epitome of love and care, willpower and determination. She makes uncountable sacrifices for her family day in and day out without raising an eyebrow. A mother does so much for her children, the least one can do is acknowledge her hard work and her selfless love. Although I don't have my mother anymore to reach out to, I can still feel her fragrance, her love and I cherish memories of all the time I spent with her. So this goes out to all the moms- “Thank You and a very happy mother's day!”
