Specifically iconic -Mother’s love is bliss
What is mother? When is someone called mother? One word is it really just a substitute for women who have given birth? Is it actually a status? Or a job?
Mother loves, nurtures, protects, educates, guides, comforts, nurtures, supports, embraces, cherishes, encourages, etc. Its love shapes cultures and individuals. Nothing can stop a mother from showing her heart out for her child, not the religion, not the colour and not even the gender!
Mother's Day is recognised, on 13th of May, every year on second Sunday of May month, the time to honour and cherish the special bond of love that the child and the mother share. A mother does so much for the children, the least one the child can do is acknowledge her hard work and her selfless love.
