MOTHERS’ DAY 2015 MESSAGE from Madame Deolatchmee Ramotar, First Lady of Guyana
TODAY is a special day for mothers all around the world. It is a day when we express our love to mothers for their irreplaceable role in our lives. Mothers’ Day is a time to show affection, give attention and express respect for mothers. I would like to join in extending best wishes to all the mothers of Guyana on this special day dedicated to them.
Nothing compares to a mother’s love. A mother’s love is boundless. It is unconditional. A mother’s concern for her children is indescribable. It springs from a love that that does not diminish with time. Even when a mother has to reprimand her child, she does this out of a desire to ensure the best interests of her child.
I still recall with fondness my own beautiful mother. Hardly a day goes by that my thoughts do not stray to my own beautiful mother. I recall her unadulterated devotion to me and my siblings. I recall how much she gave with the little that she had. I remember how her humility shone brightly before us. She was a good mother and I love her deeply.
Today, I would like to urge all Guyanese to remember your mothers. Shower your mom not only with the things that you can afford, but with the love, respect and attention that they deserve. More importantly, to the women of Guyana, strive to be good mothers and to be good role models for your children. You do not need wealth or fame to be a good example to your children. You just need love in your heart.
Happy Mother’s Day!
