The Philippines joins the family of nations this MAY 10, 2009 in paying tribute to the blessedness of motherhood on Mother’s Day, honoring mothers for keeping their children the focus of their lives, walking with them through their storms, and being there for them as they face the world in their growing years.
Flowers, chocolate bars, and handmade love notes will stream into ancestral homes of mothers and grandmothers today, which will serve as another festive occasion for family reunions.
In addition to dozens of roses and chocolate bars, popular luxury items such as ladies’ handbags and bottles of perfume are in the long shopping list of children everywhere, young and old, throwing economic caution to the wind as the world salutes “Mother’s Day.”
Here are some quotes for mothers like my mom.

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
