To All Mothers this Mother's Day, thank you for...

Category News

Washington Irving, an early 19th century American short-story writer, says: "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."

A tribute to our hard working mothers out there:
They are strong, never stopping for a breather but working, without flagging, around the clock. They make so many personal sacrifices on our behalf that we should celebrate our mothers and express our gratitude to them every day... and not just on Mother's Day. 

So thank you, Mother, for:

  1. Your unconditional love and support, encouraging us proudly in everything we do.
  2. Being our best friend and willing confidante with whom we can comfortably share all our secrets.
  3. Your giving nature, always putting our wellbeing before yourself and your interests.
  4. Instilling good strong values in us that make us who we are today.
  5. Teaching us life's lessons that prepare us for adulthood and the wide world.
  6. Your forgiving ways when things we unthinkingly do and say hurt you.
  7. Always being there to protect us and guide us through life's up and downs.
  8. Your tireless and uncomplaining attention and devotion to the household and our needs.
  9. Your bright smile which says so much to each of us individually.

Mothers are our inspiration in life and make us proud to say "I am strong because a strong woman raised me".

Here are some novel gift ideas to show our love and appreciation for our mothers on 10 May, Mother's Day:
