No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother’s love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.
For making our lives a 1000 times better than yours had been.
For baking a European-quality cake every Sunday and feeding it to us for breakfast with a vitamin every morning.
For preparing delicious home-cooked meals every day and cooking our favourite meal on our birthdays.
For reading to us every night. For singing ‘You are my Sunshine.’ For brushing my hair while we watched TV. For helping us with our homework. For teaching us manners, good work ethic, respect, honesty and integrity.
For making sure that we went on outings to get fresh air by visiting the zoo, going on a picnic, going to the park, going to the beach, going on a bike ride, taking a walk and so many other things. Things that you did not experience as a child.
For all these things and more, thank you and Happy Mother’s Day Mom!

I am one of those people who always thought if I am as good a mother as my mum is then I will be doing a great job, I think I am as good as mum I do try to be.

Yes, it’s the little day-to-day things Van. That’s what we eventually cherish long after we leave the nest. I have no doubt your kids will remember those things too. ❤
