Happy Mother's Day! Kol sana we enty tayeba Ya Mama!

Mother's Day. The occasion to honor the mother, the best creation of God on Earth, to shower her with all our love, care and warmth. 

Mother - the greatest blessing in the life of any human being. 

Mothers are not rare to find. Good mothers are. Have you ever wondered what goes on to make a good mother?  

 

What makes good mothers? It is a pertinent question whose answer cannot be contained within a few words. Mothers comprise of a bundle of emotions that sometimes defy reason. So this goes out to all the mothers who have kept awake all night with their sick toddlers in their arms, constantly uttering those compassionate words, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."

For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew school celebrations costumes. And all the mothers who don't.

For those who show up at work with milk stains on their dress and diapers in their handbags.

For those mothers who cannot restrain tears from trickling down their cheeks when they hold their babies for the first time in their arms; and for the mothers who give birth to babies they'll never see...

For the mothers who gave homes to babies and gifted them a family.

For the mothers who yell at their kids who clamor for ice cream before dinner.

For the mothers who defy all odds just to watch her kid perform and repeat to themselves "That's my child!!" (my Mama was never missing from a school celebration or from an exam that I had)

For all the mothers who read good night stories twice a night for a year, and then read it again. "Just one more time."

For the mothers who taught their children to tie the shoelaces even before they started going to school (My mama was doing this for me since I was in the kindergarten :*:*:*).

For the mothers who incontinently turn their heads when they hear the word "Mom", even though they know that their kids are nowhere around.

For the mothers who silently shed tears for their children who have gone astray.

For all those mothers whose heart aches to watch her son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time (Mama was coming behind me just to make sure that I am crossing the street carefully, that I take care and remember what she was teaching me).

For all the mothers of the victims of Egyptian revolution and the mothers of those who were suffering among years without knowing what happen with their missing children.

For the mothers of those martyrs who died 22 years ago in the Revolution from here and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, clinging to their child who just arrived from school, from work and from the manifestations safely .

So, this is meant for all the young and aged mothers, working mothers and housewives, married mothers and the single mothers, those with money and without and for those without whom life would have been insufferable. Wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!!
