What defines a mother?
Mothers are exceptional women with immense substance, regardless of their different situations. Life giver. Love provider. These are the two most appropriate selfless acts that define a mother. Mothers are the superwomen of our lives who manage to combine wisdom, patience and care in one gracefully wrapped package.
In every person’s life is a mother who is always there to guide and love him. Being a mother is not a simple role to take. It is a never-ending, oftentimes uncompensated task that women take on. The hearts of these women can be compared to the purest water running through the lake. Her soul shines through in every unselfish act that she commits as a way of continuously sharing her love and her life with her family.
Motherhood does not end with just providing her child with the necessities; it extends to bringing out the best and partaking of both the successes and the failures of that child. It is said that one can see the greatest value of a mother through her child. Her child is the living proof of everything she had accomplished in life. Mothers always do the persistent, unheralded and unacknowledged task of filling their homes with warmth and love, understanding and openness, sacrificing and giving. They are the keepers of a family’s most cherished memories. They are the unsung heroes of our lives.
Sadly, their children and perhaps even their grandchildren, once grown, tend to take for granted the overwhelming sacrifices of a mother and the impact that she has on their lives.
Yet the reverse is hardly ever true – no matter how strict or seemingly domineering a mother is, she will always make time for the sons and daughters she gave life to and nurtured. And their joy can be quite indescribable once these children show them a simple manifestation of affection, whether it be in the form of a hug, a kiss or a very modest token.
This mother’s day, it is time to acknowledge and dearly appreciate their value in our lives for having molded us into who and what we have become. And for the mothers who are reading this, it is also timely to give yourself a well-deserved treat.
