Mother's Day

20 Mother's Day There was this boy whose mother died while she was giving birth to him. Every year, as Mother's Day approached, he would be overcome with sadness. He missed his mom so much. He would ask himself, “ Why don't I have a mother? Why do I miss my mom even though I never met her?" Then one Mother's Day, while all the other children were celebrating this day with their mothers, the boy walked along a road and wept sadly. Suddenly, an old woman stopped him. She asked him what was wrong. The boy said that it was the saddest day in the year because it always made him think about the mother who he never met. He didn't have a mother to grow up with. Instead, he lived with his grandparents.

The old woman listened to him carefully. After a while, she said, " You may not have a mother. Yes, that is true. But I don't either and I always celebrate Mother's Day. Don't forget, young boy, Mother's Day is the day we remember ALL mothers everywhere. Not just mothers here in our own land, but mothers all over the world. We honour the many things they do for us. " The old woman stopped talking for a moment and watched a mother and her small children passing on the road. " Look at that young mother with her two kids, " said the old woman. “ She has to carry those two kids and her groceries all the way home. She does it out of love for her family. And don't forget that a grandmother is also a mother. " " Yes, that's true, " nodded the young boy. The old woman continued, “ On Mother's Day, I say Happy Mother's Day to every woman I meet. " The young boy opened his eyes wide, listening attentively. He began to realize this was a wonderful way to look at Mother's Day.
