On the eve of Mother’s Day I wished to know what this special day mean to women around the world. So, I asked some of my beautiful blogger friends to share their views with me. I was pleasantly surprised to see how at a very short notice almost all of them not only sent me their write-ups but they came out as wonderful as they themselves are! A huge THANKS to all the lovely ladies who spared their really precious time to share their views with me. Love You All! Here these lovelies express what Mother’s Day mean to them…!

“To me mothers day is a day to say thank you to the person who brought you into the world. A mother is more than that however, for some a mother is not the person who brought them into the world but the person who raised them and gave them their time and kindness when they needed it. Personally on mothers day, I thank my mother for everything mentioned above and for the millions of other things my mother does for me all the time like doing a wash of clothes for me, talking things over with me, giving me advice etc… I am so blessed to have such an amazing and inspiring women and mother in my life so each year on mothers day I try my best to say how much I appreciate her and to show it by doing an act of kindness or giving her a gift. This year me and my sister are bringing her to a local tulip festival and packing a special picnic with music and art supplies. I think we should always tell the people we love how much we appreciate them but sometimes we forget. Days like mothers day are a great way to remind us or our blessings and say thank you.”

“Mother’s day to me means LOVE. This day is a chance to show mothers just how much they are appreciated. Moms spend so much time caring and loving everyone else and often our role is taken for granted or not given the well deserved recognition. Mother’s day is a chance to tell moms around the world “You are loved. You matter. thank you for all you do!”

“To me, mother’s day is every day! It’s about the little things. It’s about the contrasts and conflicting feelings. It’s about the insane love for your children that often comes at the expense of self-love. It’s about the messiness both in your surroundings and in your heart. It’s about feeling so full of love and vulnerability that you feel like you’re about to burst at any given time. It’s about anticipating your children’s feelings and actions. It’s about taking care of the crazy logistics like a D.J. or musical conductor so that everything runs relatively smoothly. It’s about running your hand through your child’s hair as they walk past you to show them you care. It’s about teaching your children to be empathetic and caring. And it’s also about how you teach them to be assertive and protect themselves. It’s about feeling like it’s all on you. But it’s also about not wanting to have it any other way. Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!”

“To me, Mother’s Day is acknowledging and appreciating all of the mothers around the world for all their hard work, sleepless nights, and unconditional love they consistently give out. However, I believe that we should appreciate our Mother’s not only on Mother’s Day, but each and everyday as well.”
Arti Yadav from EscapeWriters
“To be honest I never celebrated Mother’s Day till now. We have read many stories about how Mother’s Love is unique, limitless and irreplaceable in this selfish world. I got to experience it myself the day when I gave birth to my twin daughters. A girl is now a mother who should be always there for her children and who will never be the same again as she was before. Because the title “Mother” makes you very confident and strong. A mother is the most irritating person for you as she will keep nagging about have you eaten or not, did you take water bottle while going out or not, what time you will come back at home and she wants you to make a call every day even if there is nothing much exciting to say. Believe me, we all rolled up our eyes when our mother behaves like that and it’s really surprising when you do the exact same things with your kids. So for many decades, Mother’s love is never changed. Maybe the name of Mothers can be different but all are same when it’s about their children.”

“Mother’s Day to me is a time to be thankful for the gift I thought I’d never receive, my son. It’s remembering the years I spent trying to get pregnant and the baby I lost that first made me a mom. So even when I’m about to explode from the non-stop whining and the cluster feeding I can remember how special it is that I even get to experience these frustrations at all… and then go hide in the bathroom to eat my chocolate in peace!”
Janice Martin from thesuccessfuldiva
“Mother’s Day is the day we can celebrate the hardest most loving job in the world. We mothers are raising an entire nation and that in itself should be celebrated every day. Happy Mother’s Day!”
Pallavi Bhat from mygirlypedia
“Mother – a word that reminds us of unconditional love, care. Also, i strongly believe that motherhood is not just about sharing blood. For me, motherhood is about a purest form of love. A love that makes a woman keep her kid as her priority 1. Love that makes her heart skip a beat when she sees her kid Happy. Your kid might be a two legged baby or four (some babies don’t have one too like fish), if you have filled your heart with enormous love and care for your kid, you are a mother. I’m thankful for my furry kid who makes me enjoy motherhood. I’m thankful for my mother who made me realize this wonderful fact that, anybody can give birth but not everybody gives life. Thank you mamma for making me who I’m today.”

“Mothers’ day is a special day to celebrate the special person that brought you to the world. Mother is love, sweet, kind, she is everything rapped up in one. Mommies are the best gift to the world and they are worth celebrating!”
Veera from veeraelisabeth
“The meaning of the Mother’s day is that I show (more than usual) how much I appreciate and love my mama! Me and my brother traditionally always bring breakfast for mom to the bed and give her cards and gifts on Mother’s day. But the most important thing is that we spend time (again more than usual) with her.”
Love that post, Mother’s Day to me is one day where the entire world is recognizing and saying thank you to mothers.
