Mother’s Day: Mother Comes Above All

Mother has been with you on the journey, and no particular day is needed to remind you to express your respect for her. Modern-time observation of Mother's Day can be traced back to Anna Jarvis's campaign in the US. Over time, new challenges have emerged for women to play the mother role. Balancing work and responsibilities at home are impacting the lives of mothers. What used to be a division of labour in a family system has become that of sharing. The observation of Mother's Day should not be limited to sending flowers or gifts. It is important to tell her we are there when you need us. Let us acknowledge the sacrifices mothers make and celebrate the profound impact mothers have on shaping our lives.
