To mum, with love
Her love is boundless; her heart, a cocoon of comfort and happiness. She is the giver and nurturer of life.Of the many jewels a woman wears, motherhood is undoubtedly her crowning glory.There is no bond as strong and sacred in the world as the one between a mother and her child. And to honour this woman, Mother’s Day is celebrated across cultures every year.
More than a century has faded away since the first Mother’s Day was celebrated. Anna Jarvis—a name credited with the birth of this day—spent almost a decade campaigning in order to dedicate a day to commemorate mothers. A determined daughter, she hoped for the world to appreciate the devotion and selfless love of the heart of the family.She expected simple gestures such as a heartfelt letter or a single flower to show your gratitude.
Over the years, the day has evolved across many cultures.Hallmark cards, bouquets of carnations, brunches and the general outpour of your affectioncan make your mother smile, but words still hold the power to voice the deepest of emotions, especially for the ones living away from their mothers. Many miles separate them, but the magic of a mother’s love still runs deep in their heart; such is the beauty of a mother-child relationship.Mother’s Day is an empowering occasion that celebrates the beautiful gift women posses to breathe life. It is a time to acknowledge one of the most endearing experiences women have.
Indians in New Zealand reside in a land away from the place they calledhome when growing up; away from the comfort of the familiarcare and loving eyes. But little can stand against a mother’s love; not even the long distance.For the ones away, the day takes on a special and different meaning. Times have changed. With so many young souls venturing out of their home country in search of better education and career prospects, the time spent away from from their mothers only make them realise the beauty of their relationship.Although, in this Internet-dominated era, a hug would be replaced by a Skype call, a card by a Whatsapp text, for the mother, the gesture would make a world of a difference. For the ones away, Mother’s Day is a reminder of a mother’s unceasing love and affection; a day of reminiscence where you look back at the times spent together—those camping trips, long talks and the joy of coming back home to your favourite meal.
Whether she is a single mother, a working mother or a homemaker, motherhood is an enchanting experience for a woman. So whether it is a small kiss on the cheek, a hug or a mere heartfelt phone call,celebrate this Mother’s Day by thanking your mother for all that she has done and still does.
Vishal (10 years old): “What I love about my mum is that she is really caring and nice kind, she is really helpful and she encourages me to good stuff stay healthy and fit. Last birthday she gave me a football jersey and she waits for me when I come from school. She makes me sleep beside her and loves me a lot. I love my mom very much! I want to give a big teddy bear to my mom on Mother’s day.”
Richard Kandel (7 years old): “My mom makes me my favorite chicken curry whenever I ask her. She takes me to shopping and also to the playground to play with my friends. My mummy brings me chocolates when she comes from work and also helps me doing my homework sometimes. She loves me more than my brother and I love my mom more than my brother... I Love you mum.”
Zoey Heatley: (4 Years old): “My mum’s name is Louise Bex and I like to take picture of her and I like to draw pictures of her. She takes to the kindergarten, gets me chocolates and plays with me every time. She is my best friend and she cooks nice muffins for me. I want to say mum I love you and I want to play with you all time...”
Manish Chaturvedi (Student at ICNZ): “I know it's the first time to wish my mum and I really miss my mum. Now I realise importance her care, her support when I am away from her especially in these struggling days. I firmly believe that mothers are the reflections of God on this earth and there is heaven under her feet. God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mums to shower us with so many gifts. Mum, you gave me the precious gift of life, of course, but you also gave treasured lessons that can guide me along my journeys even when you are not with me. Miss you and love you so much. I want to wish you a very happy mother's day”
Elakkiya Prabhakaran: “I never knew the value of my mother until I came to NZ.. Only then I understood the hidden sacrifices in my luxurious life. I love and miss you mom, there is no one like you and will never be. Happy Mother’s day mum...”
