Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day.  This year, all over the world we celebrate Mother's Day on the 12th of May.

Our generation has brought so much commercialism in the celebration of Mother's Day. Nevertheless, I still believe that the true meaning of Mother's Day is not drenched by these celebrations. We honestly and with all our hearts poured out, honor our moms on this special day.

So, no matter how simple or lavish your celebration may be, I would like to greet all mothers a happy Mother's Day and honor you with some of my favorite quotes about mothers.

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love.  It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star. - Edwin Hubbell Chapin
