- You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.
And then, one day, she quietly died. And everything you never did, came crashing down like thunder on your heart.
If she’s still around, never forget to love her more than ever. And if she’s not, remember her unconditional love

i think it’s extremely sad & it should teach us to appreciate our mothers.

It´s really good
September 30th, 2009 at 2:04 am
that is so sweet. I really like it, but it doesn’t include all mother’s. My mother didn’t do any of those until maybe up to 9 years old. Some mother’s will never be Mom’s. I’d give money just to get a phone call from her!
September 30th, 2009 at 8:53 am
That’s why I love my momma!

In India we say Mother is first then comes father is second, teacher is third then God is fourth. We consider there is no other great temple than Mother herself.

~~**Thank you for reminding every child his/her duty & responsibility towards parents.**~~
This message is awesome ! very heart touching. It brought tears to my eyes.
Yes, mother’s love is unconditional but we children r sometimes selfish.
Its right God couldn’t be with everyone, everywhere so He gave us mother.
I love my parents a lot but sometimes i too behave with them
selfishly. This is so shameful.
But now i have understood how dear my parents r to me.
