This post is especially dedicated to all the mothers out there including me. This is our big day! Happy Mother's Day! Most especially to my super momma..(you're the greatest luv yah!)
... is for the million things she gave me,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Cool trivia about MOTHERS.

Probably you'll agree with me that oftentimes we neglect to show our moms how much we love them and how much they really mean to us. Yes, we say 'Happy Mother's Day' to our moms when the day comes but after, we go on with our usual routines-friends, night outs, self, etc.
When is the last time that you've said 'i love you' to your momma? Rare? Well, it doesn't need to be a "Mother's Day" to show you love and thank them. Make everyday a 'Mother's Day'. :-)
