T2 / W8: Reflection - Mothers


Hi all,

Since this Sunday is Mother's Day, I thought we should pay tribute to them this week.

There is simply no way we can ever really thank our mother for all she has done for us. She is the one who will be awake all night when we are sick, pray 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 us breakfast 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 are strong and healthy. Mothers in fact, worry more for our examinations than we do. Don't you agree?

Mothers are also the one on whom we frequently put the blame for our failures. We would not hesitate once to point out her mistakes though she would not miss even the slightest opportunity to praise us. It is easy for the kids to be so demanding to parents, specially mothers, as we take her affection and care so much for granted, most often to the extent of selfishness.

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 effort to give a perfect Mother's Day to your mother. Think about her likes and dislikes and act accordingly. Strive to make Mothers' 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 year round. Give her a warm hug and a big kiss as you wish her a Happy Mother's Day!

Sometimes we rarely convey how much we treasure our loved ones. We often take it for granted that they know. Hence, I would like you to use this blog as a platform to talk about your relationship with your mum. Reflect on what your mum has done for you and what you have done for your mum to show your appreciation of the work she has done to raise you. Do also share with me your plans for Mothers' Day.

Here's wishing all mothers a splendid Mother's Day! You all deserve a pat on the back for a job well done! :)

I made a card for her on friday, after the examinations. On sunday, when she went for a walk with my father, I hid the card in her cupboard. When she saw it, she was very happy and thanked me for making her a card. We had steamboat at home for lunch too! My mother was very happy on that day. ;D

i love and appreciate what my mum has done for me. although sometimes i may that what she does is unnecessary, what she is doing actually benefits me. i hope i will be able to repay her love and care by making a simple card for her on mother's day!!! :]
