Nothing has the power to change the world like the unconditional love of a mother . Indeed , ‘ mother ’, or its equivalents , is the most beautiful word in any language . It evokes a spectrum of emotions and a gamut of feelings in the heart of even the most ruthless individual . She is always willing to forgive and accept her children with arms wide open , no matter how much they have gone wrong and hurt her . However , we hardly stop to think of how they feel and whether they need help . In a sense , we neglect them by not appreciating them enough .
Mother ’ s Day is just around the corner and it ’ s that special day that gives you the perfect opportunity to shower your mom with your love and affection . Tell your mother how much she means to you and pamper her with generous gifts . It doesn ’ t need to be an expensive stuff . You can make her day special with beautiful quotes , poems , and loving words . Let her know how special her love for you is , and acknowledge all the pain and sacrifice she took to raise you to become the way you are today . Thank her for her unconditional love , for forgiving you when you did something wrong , and held you when the world around condemned you . Thank her for being at your side when you needed her the most . Remember how she stayed awake at night to care for you when you were unwell .
