Honour your mothers!

It's Mother's Day this Sunday and it is a time for many to reflect and celebrate the beautiful, tough and cheering ladies in our lives. Your mother does not necessarily have to be someone who gave birth to you; it could be your aunt or even that lady next door who used to give you food here and there, whenever you were hungry. Many people will say that you shouldn't be celebrating or honouring your mother just on this one day, but you should do it all the time. However, for this one day, once a year, you should treat her as your queen just like you would any other day.Show the lady or community of ladies that raised you that they brought up a respectful, honest and principled person. They've made too many sacrifices for you… they had to put you before them and ensure that you had the best possible that life could offer. You are the person you are right now because of the icons that raised us. As such you need to reciprocate the same kind of love and sacrifices they've made for you… you would not be able to match their unique skills but you can try.Treat your mother kindly even if you do that regularly. Bombard her with a lot of calls and make sure you try to visit her this weekend. Make some effort and see her. Ditch your friends and the plans you have made for this weekend and go all out for the woman who raised you. If you can go on a nice trip to Swakopmund or Walvis Bay, this time also pull the same stunt for the leading lady in your life and show her that you appreciate all you have done for her.This Mother's Day, show your mother that you are grateful for the way she nurtured you and thank her for being a good custodian all your life. Your mother has been there for you at your best and worst moments, and you also need to look out for her whenever you can. Our mothers are very influential and powerful people who have motivated us and moulded us into responsible and upstanding people. Remember, she taught you how to use a spoon….We need to put more effort into the relationships we have with our caregivers and we definitely need to cherish them a little more. We should strive to work hard and make them proud and show the world not only our own characteristics but reflect the ones of those few individuals who have made us who we are today.June Shimuoshilijune@namibiansun.com
