Mother’s Day is just one day when we cherish and celebrate the presence and importance of our mothers. When in fact, we should be celebrating mothers, god’s best gift, throughout our lives. Because if it weren’t for our mother, we may not even exist since she is the one who gave us birth and for which she had to go through excruciating pain while carrying us inside her, just so that we would be healthy and comfortable.
But it isn’t always necessary for the person who gives someone birth to be their mother. Mother is someone who not only gives us life literally but in all ways possible, she is the one who loves us despite our flaws and supports and encourages us all the way and most importantly she is the one who knows when to say ‘No’ for our benefit even though we may not like it or resent it.
She is our nurse, cook, laundry person, alarm clock, therapist, friend, teacher and what not. But has anyone ever heard her complain about her tiredness or the things she couldn’t do for herself, or her unfulfilled wishes and aspirations for her own life? It’s because she knows that we can’t really function without her.
People may never admit it but it is the truth that mothers or mother figures are the true backbones of a good family, household, life and everything. She is our savior in bad times and every once in a while, we show her our ingratitude by not treating her the way she deserves to be treated. But she wouldn’t still tell you how much your words hurt her at times or broke her heart.
There are no apologies in this world that can undo our misbehavior towards our mother or a ‘thank you’ that will cover everything she has done for us through thick and thin or the sacrifices she has made all along. But our small gestures can put a priceless smile on her beautiful face. So friends, make your mother feel special, not only on Mothers’ Day but every day. Pledge to do this for every remaining day of your life.
