Today is Mother’s Day; and some of us may wonder why we have to remember and celebrate Mothers’ Day on this special day. We should be celebrating this occasion any day or every day, and not just today.
Many occasions have become commercial events. There is Fathers’ day, secretaries’ week, Valentine’s day, Lover’s day, etc …. And, the restaurants are full, the hotels are busy, and the shopping centres are packed, but these occasions do help us remember the people we care and who have looked after us all these years.
We have lived many years, and still many more years to go. Perhaps, you may be celebrating Mother’s day today. Or your children may be celebrating mothers’ day for you today. You got a present, maybe a new handbag, a new blouse, or a dim sum lunch at Golden Gate restaurant in Chinatown. Or maybe, you got nothing, but a sweet call from your son or daughter from half around the world.
Dont you think it would be nice if we can share what Mothers’ day mean to you. Or what are you doing today on Mothers’ day.
