The first sound a person hears when they open their eyes to the world, the first sense of security they feel, and the first experience of love they learn.
That is why, regardless of language, religion, ethnicity, or country, all mothers are the shared conscience of humanity.
A mother does not only raise a child.
She also instills love and compassion in them.
Sometimes through sleepless nights, sometimes through silent sacrifices, and sometimes through struggles no one sees, she dedicates her life.
A society’s conscience is as strong as “the value it places on its mothers”.
Because mothers do not only raise children, they also spread goodness and morality.
Today, to all women who are alive and able to embrace their children, who stand by them in heart even across miles, who have lost a child but never lost their love, and to “all women who carry motherhood in their hearts”—Happy Mother’s Day!
No matter where in the world she is, a mother’s tears carry the same pain, and her smile carries the same hope.
I greet all mothers with love and respect…
We are so glad we have you.
