A mother is the guiding light in every home. The source of strength wherever problems occur. She is everybody's friend as she is someone who is always there to listen. Willing to sacrificed for the sake of her children. But sometimes unexpectedly trials maybe comes out and she needs to leave her family for a reason. How can her family accept the reality?

A mother's job is the most important one you will ever have and your own mother is the only person you share a very precious and special bond with. Every child needs his or her mother's unconditional love. Unfortunately because the world is not perfect some miss out on that special relationship. I did not have a nurturing mother. My mum did not and still doesn't express love. She has never told my sister and I that she loves us. She was very good at dishing out abuse though! That has taught us to be better mothers for our own children. My sister and I have girls and we are to them all the things our mother was not to us. I think that even though I will always miss not having received love and affection from my mother, I think I am a better person for it as I am determined that lack of affection and emotional abuse stops right here and I give my daughter love, kisses and praise every single day.

Yes, I believe so. A mother is a home's guiding light. It is really hard when a mother leaves home for abroad or for other reason. The kids are the mostly affected. I am just glad that I didn't have to experience that. I grew up living with my parents. But I know some people who have experienced growing up without a mother. I have a neighbor and I saw how her mom's absence affected her. Her mom needs to go abroad because her dad left them for another woman. So her mother has to be the father and the mother at the same time. She grew up differently. She seemed to be sad all the times and never gets out of the house. When we were still in elementary, she used to be an honor student but when her mom left, she did not care about her studies and failed some of her subjects. Until now, she is in a position where there are a lot of confusions even when she's already with her mom. The light that she needed when she was growing up lighted up only recently and I hope it is not too late. These situations of other people make me feel blessed that I grew up having my parents beside me. We may have our ups and downs but I am still thankful for having them in my life.

Mother occupies a special position in this World ! Without her there wouldn't have been any expansion in this World.Mother is responsible for bringing the new life in the form of young ones in this World! She plays a major role in this World ! This applies to each and every species! When it comes to Human beings same thing applies here also ! The mother after nurturing the foetus in the womb for nine months she delivers the baby topropagate the family further. She takes a big risk while doing so ! In our local language it is said that giving birth to a baby is just like getting a rebirth for the mother ! Thast is true, because we see many mortalities dusing the delivery of a child ! Ofcourse with the change of time this risk has got reduced but it is always with risk! Mother does have a natural instict called as maternal instict which makes her to take any challenges to protect the yoing ones! So in order toprotect the young ones of the family she does many things at the cost of her comfordts and many a times at her basic needs ! This instict of her makes a family completely dependent on her. She is always there for each and family member to help readily, she is a friend, guide and philosopher for the children and the husband at the time of crisis! She does many scarifices physically and emotinally just to keep the family happy! Mother always sees that the family should be happy and for this she works hard day and night without anticipating any thingin return! She draws an immense satisfaction as she sees her offsprings grow to an adult individuals from a tiny tot! She every time takes care of the child and try to mend him/her to a good and responsible citizen of Society and the Nation! Thus it will be very difficult to get the words to express our gratitudes and shower the praises to such a Noble thing called as Mother! My salutations to every mother of the World for her dedication and sacrifices in bringing up the kids into a responsible citizens!!! May lord bless bless all the mothers of this World !!! Thanks friend, it was simply a very good topic of discussion ! I am over whelmed participating in it!

Yes, a mother is the light of every home. I believe so too. This is because it is the mother who is always at home to guide the children. It is the mother's loving hand that guides them all the way. If the mother is at lost the children will be lost as well. They have no one to hold. A family without a mother is like a house without a light. It will be dark and will lose its joy. In fairness though there are homes whose mothers have gone but with the good guidance of the fathers were able to survive. But those are rare cases. Mostly when the mother is gone, it's as if the happiness goes with her.

Yes that was true. Mother is definitely serves as a light at every homes. She has a lot of responsibility to do more for her kids and husband as well. She is usually a source of strength when somebody got tired and weak. A shoulder to cry on. Jack of all trade. What really great is a mother. She even the first teacher of her kids before they going to school teach of ABC..... and nos.......A teacher of good moral character and religion. How fantastic is a mother. She is not even a good housewife, a good mother, an educator but a good doctor, adviser and sometimes a source of help most of neighbors. We only have one mother so let us show them our love and affections.
