Mother's Day is a special moment celebrated to honor and appreciate the role of a mother in the life of a family, community and nation. A mother is a figure who selflessly gives love, care and sacrifice. From the first second of life, a mother is present with her infinite love, a protector and a source of strength.
In a mother's embrace, we find peace. In her smile, there is a warmth that soothes the heart. There is no love more genuine than a mother's love for her children, a love that often asks for nothing in return but their happiness.
Mother's Day is not just a moment to give gifts or say thank you. More than that, it is a reminder of the importance of appreciating every struggle and sacrifice that a mother has given. Many mothers struggle silently, facing the challenges of life steadfastly for the future of their children.
Traditionally in Indonesia, Mother's Day is celebrated every December 22. This date refers to an important event in history, the first Indonesian Women's Congress in 1928. This congress became a milestone in the Indonesian women's movement to fight for equality and their important role in nation building.
Celebrating Mother's Day is a moment to express gratitude for the presence of our mothers in our lives. A simple greeting, a warm hug, or even time spent together, is a meaningful form of respect.
Mother's Day is a reminder that a mother's love is a light that never goes out. Let's take care of them and appreciate them every day, because mothers are the most beautiful gift God has given us in our lives.
