Celebrating Mother's May

It's almost the end of May, a month when we celebrate Mother's day. Along with the others, I'd like to dedicate the whole month to Mothers out there; mothers by blood or bond.

Giving birth is a gift bestowed to some, raising a child is a responsibility of many, if not all. It's not an easy road of responsibilities and it's a road that has no stop sign as long as life persists.

Mama and Daughter

In this month of May, let's all hold our mothers closer and make them feel as special as they always make us. Walking down the memory lane, I'm sure your mothers are always tucked in every crook and turn you make. Whether it's to hold you, wipe that runny nose or sweaty forehead, spank the mischief out of you or bandage that sore knee; they are always there doing the best they can to give you the best.

Personally, I owe so much to my mother that I know nothing I can do will ever bestow all the sacrifices she made for me. The most I can do is become the best she ever wished me to be and hope to be half as good a mother as she's been to me and my siblings.

Let's make Mother's May a tip of the iceberg of how we treasure our mothers. Remember, a mother isn't just the one that gave birth to you but every woman who has shaped your life and made sacrifices for you. A mother is that woman who has loved you unconditionally, nurtured you and has been there to hold your hand as you walk that unknown, terrifying road called growing up.

A Blessed Mother's May to all Mothers out there!
