Mother's Day

‘Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.’ (Proverbs 31:2)

I read some inspiring Mother’s Day messages posted on the internet which go like this:

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold,
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be.

Many hugs 
Only love never anger
Teaching me
Helping me
Every smile when I was sad
Raising me to be strong

'There is no velvet so soft as a mother's lap,
no rose as lovely as her smile, 
no path so flowery as that imprinted with her footsteps'

My mum passed away almost two years ago. Mother’s Day always reminds me of some regrets in life e.g. my impatience, unkind words that I used on my mum in the past. If we want to see example of unconditional love in this world, we only need to look up our own mothers.
