A Glimpse of Smiles Across the Miles

As Wikipedia would put it, "the modern Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world."  And I can personally attest to that.  I stayed, lived and worked in Thailand for 2 years and 8 months and witnessed that Thai people celebrated Mother's Day on the 12th day of August (declared as a public holiday) in accord to the birthday of their current beloved queen, Her Majesty Queen Sirikit.  To Thai people, the mere presence and lifestyle of their queen is the very essence and symbolism of true motherhood: selfless devotion and tireless care to her people.

And yes, that makes sense to me.  The true hero of all times is the mother - our respective mothers.  We always expect them to care and tend to all of our daily (both usual and special) needs and wants.  But how often have we thanked them for such tremendous devotion, love and spirit of volunteerism they gave to their family - to us?  Let us take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to our loving mothers.
