Today, May 12 marks yet another day to celebrate the tirelessly loving mothers all around the world. Leaving their handprint of affection everywhere they go, it is known that everywhere is made better with mothers who leave no stone unturned to give the best in whatever they do.
The Sunday Morning Brunch decided to talk to some moms on what they would want and wish for this Mother’s Day.

“My wish is that we all would be able to live without fear and suspicion and feel safe when getting about the daily activities. And that we can think of the larger picture and not individual agendas to make this country the best it can be, leaving a great legacy for our future generations.”

“As parents, we often think about the future of our children, but I think, now more than ever, we need to understand our role in the world we will create for them. In the last two weeks, I felt sadness and fear, but have chosen not to feel anger. I genuinely believe that every choice I make, as a parent, will now have to reflect the inclusivity, kindness, and love that I want for my children. For everyone’s children. Mother Lanka is grieving right now. We need to find ways to let her heal.”
