‘Mother’’ is a pure term that comes from a child’s mouth and stays with him until his old age.

The Mother represents all the wealth of the world.

The tenderness of a mother does not see the age of her child. She will always regard him as the child she held on the first day he was born.

Her love is divine. Even if we have forgotten her on our days of joy, she is always present to share our suffering and wipe away our tears. She is a source of compassion.

Her generosity teaches us gratitude. She deprives herself of sleep to watch over us, and she forgets about herself, thinking only of us. Our debts to her can never fade away. Thus, her child’s thankfulness is the greatest touch to her soul.

‘‘The heart of a mother is a deep abyss, at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness’’, Honoré de Balzac. The forgiveness of a mother has no limit, as illustrated in this story of a mother and her son…

One day, the fiancée of a young man asks him to offer her the heart of his mother. To please his loved one, he kills his mother and carries her heart on a platter. On the way, the young man stumbles on a rock and falls. Then, the heart of his mother which is dripping blood, asks him: “My son, are you hurt?’’ Hence, a mother is willing to forgive everything.

She is like a candle burning itself to give light to others. What sacrifice would she not accept for her child? In return for all of her goodness, we can only offer her our thankfulness. Oh! Mother wherever you are, thank you!

She is our life. Thanks to her, we rejoice in the beauty of our earth. Even if the one that has given us this life has disappeared from our world, her memory remains engraved forever in our spirit.

For those who still possess this richness, give her glory as well as to the Creator for this gift!
