mom is the first word in the life of every child. after all, she gives the baby a gentle touch, wipes rolling tears from her cheeks, gives her smile. and no matter how many mistakes you make, mother will always be there to protect you from all obstacles encountered on the thorny path.

although i am not a famous person, i can be justly proud of my mother. after all, it was she who educated me the way i am now. it was she who sat near the crib when i burst into tears. she endured all my mood swings. no matter how many quarrels between us, my heart always aches at the thought that i hurt my mother.
