CLICHE it may be, but there’s indeed a woman
behind the person we are today. And that’s no less than her—our mother. We used
to call her nanay, inay, ‘nay, mama, mommy or simply mom.
Needless to say, she deserves more than that given the pivotal role she fulfills
in rearing us from childhood to adulthood and possibly for the rest of our
lives.
There may be opposing beliefs whether that
greater maternal instinct is biologically predetermined or socially imposed,
but everyone would agree that a mother is hardwired to love and care about the
whole family, especially the children, all the time. For better or worse, it’s
always the welfare of everyone at home on top of her priority.
No wonder she’s an epitome of a doting human
being that touches everybody’s life. So, it’s but right to honor and return all
the favors she has done for us. And what a better way to do this than this
Mother’s Day.
