Some people no longer have mums and as Mother's Day is being celebrated, it evokes bittersweet memories.
These pearls of wisdom around them since they took their final journeys to their resting place.
Let's keep on celebrating these mothers, even beyond death.
There's no adequate words to thank them for their tireless efforts of raising us to become the good adults that we are today.
It's my wish that we let them know every Mother's Day that they were unique and kind.
This year on 22 January marked exactly 22 years since I lost my beloved mum.
She, alongside her late husband who died in 2009, ensured that we never knew poverty.
They did this despite the fact that they were not well-educated and had no well-paying jobs.
That's why I still respect them to this day.
They gave us formal education that they, themselves, did not get.
My mum, in particular, taught us that we could be rich even without having money. That's the best lesson I learnt from her.
Spiritual fulfilment, love and respect to fellow humans are now central to our lives.
Celebrating Mother's Day reminds us to appreciate the love mothers give us.

)Mothers are our rock!
That's why we will always remember and celebrate them, even after they have died.
And also, there are many other women out there who play a mother role in our lives even when they aren't our biological mothers.
So let's continue to cherish and honour all the mothers in our lives.
