Matricentric: “Gravitating toward or centered upon our Mothers”



 


Mother’s Day, it is a one time thing we celebrate every year to show our gratitude and tribute to women who gave birth and raised us.

The holiday originated in the United States, where it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Many other countries observe the holiday on this date, while others do so at other times of the year.

The day is an event to honor the contribution of mothers, acknowledge the efforts of maternal bonds and the role of mothers in our society.

The essence of motherhood is raising a child through birth and assisting him or her in maturing into an adult. It is a challenge in and of itself, as she will face numerous difficulties along the way.  This is a special day for both children and mothers because it allows them to celebrate their everlasting bond of love and affection. It goes without saying that being a mother is one of the most difficult and rewarding jobs there is. 

At a certain point, many people find themselves more about doing things than having things. And that’s what’s on our minds as we think about this Mother’s Day. Whether it’s about honoring our Moms or letting our families know how we want to celebrate, the gift of time is at the top of our list. Time with the people we love. Time to do what we love. Time to relax and be present and enjoy the moment.

But one day isn't enough to express our appreciation for all they've done to keep us happy, safe, and healthy. They do so much for us that we don't even realize it. So the least we can do is remember them whenever we have the opportunity.



We also need to be open, that there are many types of moms, and every single one of them is equally important and deserve to receive affections and appreciations.


 To every mother who raised a child alone, or children who aren’t of her own.

To every mother who became one without a baby.

To every mother who left us, but still resides in our hearts.

To every mother who gave birth and raised us.


Your smile is what gets us through the day, no matter what happens or how much trouble we face. We would go to any length to safeguard it and cherish you. We adore you and are grateful for everything you've done for us.
