“I got wounded!”
And she’s in a hurry, trying to fetch you up and ask where your wound is.. In her eyes, you’ll see genuine concern.. And she’ll treat your wound, like you will never get wounded anymore.. She will be at your side, keeping you away from harm for you to not get wounded again…- that’s our mother.
“Mama, Mom, Mommy, Inay, Nay“…a lot of terms we use to call our Mother. But no matter what term we use to endear her, she will always be the main lady of our lives. And nothing else will be..
We almost spend our whole lives with them. From the moment they knew we will coming out in this world up to now that we are facing world’s realities, she’s at our side and always ready to help us, and will never leave us no matter what.
Our dear mother, above all deserved to be loved, for without her we are not experiencing the happiness of living today. Her great efforts and sacrifices are more often remain unseen for those who can’t appreciate.
That’s why Mothers Day is a tradition and was started to celebrate way back to the era of ancient Greek and Roman. Yearly, it is celebrated every second Sunday of May. This year, Mothers Day celebration will be on Sunday, May 10. This celebration would be more meaningful if we will give the main lady of our lives a big treat. If you haven’t thought what to give, let me help you even just a little for your options.
Give something that you know she likes most. Observe her a little before Mothers Day. Try to open discussions about jeweleries, perfumes, dress, and other mothers’ stuff. Then catch what are her likes then buy her one. She will be more delighted if you’ll give her what she wishes to have during your discussion.
Gift baskets. If your mom wishes to have not just an item, try to give her a gift basket. They are lots of gift baskets that are available in gift stores around you for you not to get lured of shopping. It can be all-in-one package. Pick what’s right for your mother’s taste and choice.
For her hobbies and interests. Most mothers are fond of reading, listening music, watching television series and movies and a lot more. Give her something that will add up in her collections (if she does collecting).
Spend quality time. More often, mothers find minimal time to watch movies and do her hobbies. Now, give her a treat! Buy her a movie ticket. It would be more fun if you’ll join her you and your family. It’s an extra bonding for you. You can also buy Vic’s or DVD’s and spend quality time together. A simple “meryenda” will do. It would be cheaper but it’s an inexpensive way to give her a break.
Beauty rest. Mothers are always tired and pressured, that’s why more often they are careless of what they look. Now, why not give her a treat in a spa or beauty parlor? Make her feel fresh and beautiful. Let her unwind.
Even if you are a bit incorrect of what material thing you bought for her, always remember that she will always treasure a gift from some one whom she loves the most. The fact that you remember her on that day, I guess that would be the greatest gift she’ll receive from you. Remember, it’s the thought that counts.
Mothers play almost the lead role in our lives. Let us not just give her a one-day treat. Even a simple but heartfelt ‘I Love You’ and a sound kiss on her cheeks would be enough to make her feel she’s remembered. Many will find it corny, but for mothers it will surely touch their hearts, for they are just waiting for us to do such gestures. Make her feel appreciated and loved not just on Mothers Day but everyday by showing your love and obeying her rules. Without them, we would never realize who we are today.
“Youth fades; love droops, the leaves of friendship fall; A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
To All Mothers…. “Happy Mothers’ Day!”
