Celebrate Mother’s Day . . . with gift of love

You can just call and order flowers on Friday or send a box of chocolates, but keep reading and you will see that even with just a couple of days left, you can give your mother something extraordinary. This is coming to you for moms from a mom.
To understand Mother’s Day and what it really means, you need to understand the person in your life called “Mother”. Mother is one who nurtures you in her womb for nine months and brings you forth to enjoy the supreme blessing on earth, that is, life. Mother is one who guides you through your infancy and turns the soft, helpless creature to the powerful and successful YOU.
She is the guardian angel protecting you and supporting you, feeling for you and serving you silently always with a smile on her face. She prides herself watching you grow and provides you a shoulder to cry on whenever you need. She is every child’s best friend.
For a child, every single day should be a Mother’s Day. The essence of the meaning of Mother’s Day is in the fact that we should try and make this day every year a memorable one for your mother. She should cherish the special feeling of this day and the intensity of that feeling should last her the lifetime.
This is the day to stop, remember and pray for that special person in our life, without whom we would not have been, what we are today; a day to prove that all her efforts, towards making us a complete person, have been worthwhile and make her feel proud for us. In the broader sense of the term, Mother’s Day is a day to be grateful to God for being so kind as to bless us with an angel in the form of a mother.
Mother’s Day is one occasion that gives you the opportunity to do something for your mother. And if you start wondering about the reasons you need to treat your mother, you would end up with nothing less than a zillion reasons. Let’s just remember the most important reasons for which we need to be grateful to our mom and that would be enough to arrange a lavish treat for her on the special occasion of Mother’s Day.
There are many types of moms, mothers, mommies, nanas, grannies and great grandmothers out there, and there are a perfect gifts for each and every one. The most important aspect of gift giving is to give something that is well thought out and personalised to the individual. Sometimes the right gift is something simple and sweet that brings a tear to the eye and sometimes its best to go big and do something that really makes a “shiny” impact.
