Let us not let the lockdown dampen the Mother’s Day spirit on May 10th. Instead, let us use this day to reflect, reconnect and honor all the women who shower us with maternal love.
She could be your yaya (nanny) who takes good care of you while your parents are busy making a living.
She could be your aunt who comes to your defense when your parents are mad at you.
She could be your teacher who goes out of her way to make her students understand and appreciate the day’s lessons.
She could be your lady boss who hides under the guise of toughness but has a soft heart when it comes to her team’s welfare.
She could be your elderly neighbor who looks after you and treats you like her own child.
Not to mention, she could be your grandmother who is more capable of giving you that purest kind of love.
But of course, let us not forget your MOTHER who will move heaven and earth just to give you the life that you deserve. Your mother who is your cheerleader when you feel like life is being hard on you. Your mother who doesn’t complain and when she occasionally does, is prone to being misunderstood. Your mother who will let all her children pick the most delicious part of the viand before getting her share. Your mother who wears the same clothes for years because she wants you to have new items for yourself. Your mother who loves you with all her heart and because you know that, you tend to take her presence for granted.
Some children can afford to give money as gift. Some send flowers on this occassion. But heartfelt greetings are more appreciated because you cannot fake affection when it is not in your heart in the first place.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
