Happy Mothers' Day

What does it mean to be a mother?

I think children these days are taking their parent(s) for granted in many ways. They don't know the value of what it means to have parents who sacrificed their life for their offspring.

In my perspective, I believe that it is crucial for a child to have a good relationship with their parent. It creates a whole new avenue in order to grow and develop as a person. In today's day and age, kids don't see it as a 'cool' thing to go out with parents, or generally be seen with them for that matter. My friends are always awed by the fact that my mom and I go for pedicures, movies or dinners together and actually enjoy it. Relationships don't develop overnight, you need to nurture it, put effort and feel the 'want' to create it and maintain it as well. What I adore the most, is that I can approach my mom and tell her absolutely anything, whether it's embaressing or humiliating. I don't feel remorse, but a sense of relief and comfort. Recently, my eyes have been opened to many things that I now am able to understand due to my maturing age. As a child, I wasn't able to grasp what my mom has actually sacrificed for me, and for my siblings. I am thoroughly grateful for everything, especially the support my mom provides me - with regards to my career. Support and encouragement is more than enough for me at the moment to be content with - I am happy that I was able to prove myself worthy of being in the process of 'becoming someone'.

Thanks mom, for all you have done for me. Your work does not go unnoticed although I may commend you not as often as I should be. You have always been my backbone and will continue to be. Keep your head up as things are not always as easy as we think they may be. I look up to you for strength and courage to continue in life. Don't ever give up or think less of yourself. I love you more today, for being my friend when I needed one.

I love you
