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.
