Shamefecedly, I see that my Mother wrote “Happy Mother’s Day.” Here on FB. I wondered why. Did I miss something? After doing my ‘research it is celebrated in different cultures on separate days! We should truly celebrate it each and every day! 9 months? Shorter in ‘preemies’, but the same care is taken in and with each one!
I am sure (being a Male) each and every one has its importance!
Happy Mothers day my UK and Nigerian Mothers! And very soon to come world over. Easter time gives renewed reason and importance of the Mother. No YOU, no us – Amen.
