– “Motherhood is Not For Cowards”
Whether through adoption or biological birth, becoming a mother is daunting.
But what follows is unimaginable.
Finding the courage to care for what we do not control and to be in
the position of having to control everything on behalf of the same, places
parents in the most paradoxical of roles that we face in life.
We must let go of what we love, and keep doing it as long as we live.
This is true of many other relationships as well.

Mother's Day Story
The story of Mothers Day is a long one.
It is neither a recent phenomenon as many people believe it to be. Nor
it is the creation of card and gift marketers syndicate as assumed by
cynics of Mothers Day festival. To the surprise of lot many people
Mothers Day celebrations are first said to have taken place in the time
of ancient Greeks and Romans hundreds of years ago. Even Mothers Day
celebrations in UK began much before the tradition saw the light of the
day in US. In US the efforts of Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis
are greatly recognised for starting the tradition of Mothers Day but
several other women too made remarkable contribution to further the
cause of Mothers Day holiday.
Today Mothers Day is celebrated in more than 46 countries around the
world though at different times in the month of May and in some
countries it is celebrated in entirely different times of the year. In
the present time Mothers Day has come to be internationally recognized
as the day to honor all mothers and thank them for the services they
impart for the benefit of their individual child and consequently to the
development of mankind. Please read on and click on the links to know
