Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. You nurture, protect, prod and pester until your children reach their full potential. You literally take food out of your mouths and give it to us.
I've known a lot of great mothers in my time - some who've adopted me as their own including Lilian Lilian Mary Diana Geik Margaret Nancy Maryam and more
And now, many of my closest friends have become mothers, Including Hermione Julie-Anne Karen Cassandra Lizzie Vanessa AJ!
Of course my grandmother and my mother Maggie are incomparable. I'll never forget the countless acts of kindness they've shown me.
A recurring one that always stands out is this: Growing up my mother was always saving for her dream bedroom set. Fancy bed, chest of drawers etc. Every couple of years, when she had just the right amount of money, it would coincidently be time for an upgrade for my PC. I'd start pestering her non-stop until she'd relent and buy me the latest, state-of-the-art hardware to feed my computing addiction.
Of course now I return the favor and buy her a new MacBook every few years :)
Love you mum! Happy Mother's Day!
