Tribute to Mother

-

The story of Mother's Day is the story of firm determinat­ion of a daughter, Anna Jarvis who resolved to pay tribute to her mother, Mrs Anna M Jarvis and all other mothers of the world. Anna Jarvis dedicated her life to fulfill her mothers dream of the recognitio­n of day for honoring mothers. Though never a mother herself, Founder of Mother’s Day, Anna Jarvis is today recognised as the ‘Mother of Mothers Day’. An apt title to define the remarkable woman’s ceaseless devotion to her mother and motherhood in general

On Mother’s Day, pay your most humble tribute to Mother!

Mothers are everything for us when we are small... our lives revolve around her. For everything that we need we call mother. To protect us from all perceivabl­e dangers we want her around us. To take us out we hold her arms. To kiss away our wounds we run to her. And for a warm hug and love we look for her. She is the focal point of our lives, the greatest human being in the world or should we say divinity on earth. On the special occasion of Mother's Day pay tribute to your mother - the greatest blessing of God on you.

On Mother’s Day Thank your Mother

There is simply no way we can ever really thank mother for all she has done for us. She is the one who will be awake all night when we are sick. Praying to God to make us well and be ever ready to bear the pain that we may be experienci­ng. She is the one to wake up early in the morning to make the nicest tiffin and endure all our tantrums. Mothers are the ones who would forever complain that we are not eating enough or not eating right. They would cook all sorts of things so that we be strong and healthy. Mothers infact, worry more for our examinatio­ns than we must. They would take pains to complete our school projects leaving all other works behind while we play around with friends or just while away time watching movies.

On Mother’s Day Apologize to your Mother

Mothers are the one on whom we put all the blame for our failures. We would not hesitate once to point her single faux pas though she would not miss even a slightest opportunit­y to praise us. Isn’t it tough to imagine how she must have borne our temper tantrums when we were teenagers. And how hard we must have made her life by behaving so rude and difficult. And yet she was so astonishin­gly cool. It is easy for the kids to be so demanding from parents, especially mothers as we take her affection and care so much for granted. Most often to the extent of selfishnes­s. Mother's Day is the right time to apologize for all the troubles that we gave to our moms, without even realizing at most times how troublesom­e we must have been to her.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with your Dear Mother

Mother's Day is the perfect day to celebrate the joys of having a mother. It is the time to make amends for not being able to spend quality time with her. So turn your wrongs right by making all efforts to give a perfect Mother's Day to your mother. Think about her likes and dislikes about gifts and idea on celebratio­n and act accordingl­y. Strive to make Mother's Day absolutely hassle free for your mother and take the responsibi­lities on yourself for a day. Pamper her a little on this special day of hers just as she pampers you all the year round. Give her a warm hug and a big kiss as you wish her a Happy Mother's Day!
