There is a woman who has something of God because of the immensity of her love
…who has something of God for the immensity of his love, and much of an angel for the tireless solicitude of his care.
A woman who, being young, has the reflection of an old woman and in old age works with the vigor of youth.
A woman, if she is ignorant, discovers the secrets of life with more success than a wise man, and if she is educated, she adapts to the simplicity of children.
A woman, who being poor is satisfied with those she loves, and being rich, would gladly give her treasures so as not to suffer in her heart the wound of ingratitude.
A woman who, being vigorous, trembles with the crying of a child, and being weak, sometimes dresses with the bravery of a lion.
A woman that while she lives we do not know how to appreciate her, because at her side all pain is forgotten, but after death we would give everything we possess to look at her again for a single moment, to receive a single hug from her, to hear a single accent. from her lips.
Don’t ask me the name of that woman, if you don’t want me to soak the handkerchief in tears… I saw that woman along the way. She’s my mother!
Do not demand the name of that woman if you do not want me to soak your album with tears, because I already saw her pass on my way. When your children grow up, read this page to them and they, covering your forehead with kisses, will tell you that a humble traveler has left here, for you and for them, a sketch of his mother’s portrait.”

What is a Mother?
Today I was wondering what a mother is, and I began to think about what it is not in order to know what it is:
A mother is not a mailbox, but she can bring you good news,
A mother is not a safe, but she can keep a secret,
a mother is not a chest but in her you can discover a treasure.
A mother is not a safe but she can protect you from thieves,
A mother is not a weapon, but it can protect you from many dangers.
a mother is not a traffic light, but she can avoid many crashes.
A mother is not a tree, but under her shade one can feel very comfortable,
A mother is not a pet, but she can give you spectacular pampering,
a mother is not a highway, but she can guide you on the best path,
a mother is not a car, but it can take you many places.
A mother is not candy, but she can sweeten your life,
a mother is not a coffee, but she can accompany you while you wait for that result,
a mother is not a tea, but it can warm life.
A mother is not a microwave oven, but she can reheat your food after waiting for you until 3 in the morning,
a mother is not a refrigerator, but she can hold you until you rot,
a mother is not a washing machine, but many times she saves you by washing your clothes 5 minutes before you put them on.
After all, a mother is nothing like that, but I did realize what it is:
A mother is patience, dedication, sacrifice, forgiveness, company, love, blessing, protection, care, and so on… that would occupy many pages of many books, but the most important thing about all this speech is that the mother is a GIFT OF GOD.
These are the different images of a mother according to age:
4 YEARS OLD…My mom can do anything
8 YEARS OLD…My mom knows a lot! A lot!
12 YEARS OLD… My mom doesn’t know absolutely everything.
14 YEARS OLD… Naturally, mom doesn’t know that either.
16 YEARS OLD… My mom? Aww, she’s so old fashioned!
18 YEARS OLD… That old lady? It’s totally out of date
25 YEARS OLD… Well, I might know something about it.
35 YEARS OLD… Before we decide, why don’t we ask mom’s opinion?
45 YEARS OLD… I wonder, what would mom have thought of that?
65 YEARS OLD… I wish I could talk it over with my mom.
Congratulations to all mothers on their day!
Today is Mother’s Day
What a conscience ours!
We give you one day, when you deserve a lifetime.
What can I do today?
Remember thousands of unpayable debts.
Evoke your mother’s love in so many gestures and situations.
Maybe just tell you: I love you mom.
