Carmona: Nothing greater than mother’s love

In his Mother’s Day message yesterday Carmona said “there is nothing greater than a mother’s love and a mother’s positive influence.” “The role of the mother is undeniable and indispensable and is critical to the human and social development of any progressive society. A mother’s love is all embracing and is often what makes the real difference in all our lives. She is the quintessential first teacher. Simply put, she points the way. She is the ultimate confidante and friend who takes care of household chores and in these modern times, pursues a demanding career and manages the family unit, all rolled into one.” He said that motherhood is a vocation “that cradles our very humanity” and is a job with no time off.

“The impact of a mother’s love and care is immeasurable in action and inspiration and must not and cannot be viewed lightly.” Carmona said that on Mother’s Day the nation celebrates mothers, mother figures and caregivers who assume the role of moth He urged mothers to continue to work their “maternal magic” by inculcating in their children and family the positives of being compassionate, honourable, principled and respectful.
