Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 33: Mother's Love; a time to celebrate and cherish

Introduction

Like they usually say, mothers are rare gems. There's no home that hasn't felt the impact of a loving mother. I mean, they are irreplaceable and always the best. That's why she's worth living, celebrated and sincerely appreciated. Because since I was born and until now, I have yet to see anyone who says his/her mother is not the best. Is your mother also the best? If not, I'm truly very sorry about that.

In your understanding, who is considered a mother, and what are the duties of a mother?

A mother is the one who loves unconditionally, she is the beam of glory and light that shines in every home. A mother is a director, a manager, a caregiver, a home builder and a role model. She's strong, brilliant, resilient, brave and smart.

In a mother is compassionate love and care, she's a pillar and a beacon of hope to her children, her family and everyone around her. When you see a true mother, virtue spells her out. She bears the burden of her children and that of other people like hers and sees to it that it's lifted and the needs met.

In every home, you see her caring for the home and the family, which makes her a caregiver and a manager.

What are some of the sacrifices that mothers make for their children?

You see mothers make certain sacrifice not just carrying the children for nine months, but also making sacrifices such as;

• Taking care of children

• Seeing to their good health, for those of us who are mothers, whenever the children are sick as a mother, you are sick.

• Partnering with the father to provide for some basic needs

• Denial of a good life by taking care of children. Some go as much as giving their all to satisfy the children. I've heard of a mother who sold her wrappers to send her children to school. Some have to go through hard labour to feed and take care of their children.

• Denial of physical rest and sleep, especially when at the stage of infancy

How does a mother's love shape a person's character and development?

A mother's love and sacrifice can mould a child's life by changing the child[ren]'s behaviour and lifestyle. A true love from a mother can change a bad-mannered child. Making such a child have a rethink and possible change towards better behaviour and change of lifestyle. That's why she's a role model and an inspiration.

How can we celebrate and show appreciation for our mothers and their love?

Talking about appreciating these creatures, I'm not sure if we can do enough or more than they have given us. But we can do the following;

1. Giving them peace of mind and by being successful is one of the ways to show that we appreciate their sacrifice.

2. Honour, love and respect her no matter what, maybe. Some people are in the habit of tagging them "witches," even if she is, honour her.

3. Remember the special moments in her life, such as when we celebrated women's day, Mother's Day and her birthday.

4. Also give her surprises; buy her a car, a house, expensive gifts and take her on holidays.

5. Give her best moments like getting to make her up, take her to a spa for a special pamper and treat, take her to the best places to enjoy (get) a "good life."

Conclusion

She deserves to be loved and celebrated. If God has blessed you, treat her like a queen. Do not allow spouses to come in between "mother's love." She's so special, even if our spouses are. She had been there before we met and eventually married our spouses.

Sending love and hugs to my loving mother, Her Royal Majesty, Mrs Agnes Francis Etim. I love you!💕
