\u201cBeing a <\/em>mother<\/em><\/strong> means being completely and totally overwhelmed (in the best possible way) by love, joy, responsibility, and selflessness. <\/em>Motherhood<\/em><\/strong> means sleepless nights, big belly laughs, caterpillars on the coffee table, finger-painting in the kitchen, stubbed toes, and gapped toothed grins.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Lauren Casper<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Mother\u2019s Day is just around the corner.<\/p>\n

Have you ever thought, what\u2019s it like being a mum in 2021?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as \u201ctaking a day off\u201d for a mum.<\/p>\n

Being a mum is a permanent full time job \u2013 no matter how tough times are, no lay-offs, no shutdowns, no termination of contract \u2013 and indeed the most important one.<\/p>\n

Being a mum has never been an easy task, even less so in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.<\/p>\n

During lockdowns, some may not get to see their mother in a long while, whose absence makes the hearts grow even fonder.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of us are locked down together with our family, where Mum once again plays the superhero at home, taking care of us despite handling unprecedented circumstances and challenges.<\/p>\n

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it\u2019s how important and strong this bond is with our most loved ones \u2013 even if some of us are miles apart.<\/p>\n

Mum\u2019s love and support is needed now more than ever \u2013 be it us in need of Mum\u2019s love, or us as mothers and the innate care provider for our kids. Therefore, we should celebrate and protect our biggest superheroes by giving them the #GiftOfHealth.<\/p>\n

We can never thank our mums enough for everything they are doing for us, from raising us up, taking care of our everyday needs, handling minute chores to being our rock in the most important moments of our lives.<\/p>\n

But the very least we can do for our mothers is to show them how much we love them and care about their wellbeing<\/a>. This Mother\u2019s Day, let\u2019s look after our mums, just the same as they always look after us!<\/p>\n
