May: Mothers' Month


To All The Moms Out There.

 Hi! *waves*

Mothers and their children are in a category of their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.” —Gail Tsukiyama

One day out of the year, we have this beautiful opportunity to give back the people who have given us so much: our moms.
We love them (at times, maybe not so much) and as we get older, sometimes, we become like them. Whether she carried you inside of her for nine months or is a non-blood related woman who has loved you like her own, most people can identify a person who they can be thankful for on this holiday.

Mother’s day is a day dedicated to all mothers, celebrated every year to honor the mother and motherhood. It is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of May to remember and honor the mother’s responsibilities in the family and society.  Nowadays, it has been a trend to celebrate mother’s day in the schools in the presence of their kids. Mother gets greeting cards, wishing cards or other special gifts by their kids. 

She can be considered to be our best friend. She comforts us when we are sad because our first toy broke, she dresses us on our first day of school and didn't get mad when we cried a lot by the door of that little school that we remember with our hearts. Out of all the moms in the world, how did I get the best one?. 

 She always made sure we did our schoolwork. She had no problem helping us to do our homework. Thank you for the laundry, the housekeeping, the care when we were sick, the special treats on special occasions or no occasion at all. Thank you for giving us pieces of  advice when we needed them and space when we needed that as well. It's amazing how they still tell us " you're handsome" "you're beautiful" even though we know we look awful.

We need to say thank you, without them we wouldn't be the same, today we don't realize how important  they are and in the future when we become professionals and have a family, we will miss them.
We will remember all the kisses, all the hugs, and all the scolding.  

 It’s a funny thing about mothers and fathers. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think that he or she is wonderful.” —Roald Dahl

And we know that we will always have her smell impregnated in us.
I love you, mom.
Happy Mothers day!
