Mother’s day message from the First Lady of Guyana

May 12, 2013, By KNews, Filed Under News, Source

A mother’s love is incomparable. It is a love that is unconditional, one that does not diminish with time or fade because of circumstances. A mother’s love is as unreserved as it is everlasting, surviving even the greatest challenges. No truer love can be found than that which comes from a mother’s heart.

This unyielding love is demonstrated by an equally unceasing devotion to the well-being, protection and care of her child. It is a great gift which women alone are blessed with, and it is gift which should be cherished, and on days like today, acknowledged in tangible gestures.

As a mother, I understand and appreciate the many sacrifices that a mother makes to protect and provide for her children. Every mother wants the best for her children, but in turn experiencing a mother’s love is the best thing that can happen to a child.  It is an experience without substitute.

On this Mother’s Day 2013, I embrace with deep love, affection and concern all the mothers of Guyana. I trust that you will all find contentment on this day, secure in the knowledge that you did, and are continuing to do your duty, the satisfaction of which is the only reward you ever ask for.

I encourage all children, especially those estranged from their mothers, to show appreciation to your mothers and to reach out to them on this special day when we celebrate the gift of motherhood. Even if it is spending some quality time with them that will go a long way towards letting them know how much they mean to you.

I take this opportunity also to extend best wishes to those mothers who are shut-ins or otherwise institutionalized. I trust that on this day, you too will be remembered by those who you mothered.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!
