A mother is our truest friend. When heavy and sudden ordeals fall upon you, when failure swaps in for success, when friends who had a good time with you during sunshine, desert you, or when the dilemmas coagulate around you, she hugs and attempts to drive away the dark clouds with her kind insight and guidance that brings back peace to your heart.” – By American author Washington Irving.
Mother Day 2016 will be celebrated in different countries on different days of the month, but the concept and meaning remain the same. Everyone agrees that the idea is beautiful and mothers all around the world must be admired for their selfless services and sacrifices towards her family and children.
