What is the role and mission of a mother to her family? Why is it difficult to fill a mother’s shoes and fulfill her duties? How can the success of a mother be measured?

A caring mom and a nurturing mother are just few of the distinctiv­e and unique traits of a good and loving mother. She’s willing to do ewverythin­g for the success and happiness of her children. Even though she is tired she has to tend to their needs.

She has no other thing in her mind but the betterment and a brighter future for the family even if she has to taste the bitterness of life.

But there are times when her role and mission are tested. Sometimes, children disobey and despise motherly advice. At times, children no longer value education because they are hooked to other worldly wants, like in the field of technology.

Do children value her sacrifices? Perhaps there are those who say “yes” to this while others say, “no.” Yet she continues to struggle in life tirelessly. She is ready to overcome life’s tribulatio­ns for the love of her children.

Children, you should strive hard and acquire proper values in return for the sacrifices of your mother. Always remember that a mother looks forward to your goodness. Let her feel your lasting love by showing to her that you’re a good child.

Bear in mind that a mother not only gives life but also lights her home--which is her mission.
