A Mother’s Love is full, unconditional, forgiving and self-sacrificing. Nothing's too big for a Mum to give up or do. No matter what wrongs you may commit, or what hurts you may cause to Mum, she will write it in sand where the tide can come and go to wash it away and be forgotten. Whereas, when you do your good deeds, and give Mum moments of Joy and Pride, she will carve those in stone. Where it will stand strong, weather all storms, and always be remembered
Kimberly, World Vision Ambassador
My sister and I feel like the luckiest humans on the planet to have the mother we do. My Mum is always my number one supporter, she makes sure I am set up for success everyday and always taught me to give everything 110%. I was blessed to have grown up watching the way she stives for her own goals, is compassionate and completely selfless. On top of all that she is also super fun and will always get involved. If I grow to be half the woman she is, I would be extremely happy.
Grant, National Director
It’s hard to boil the love of mothers down to a few words. Whether it’s my experience of my own mum, watching my wife and her love for our children, or meeting mums in difficult places around the world – there are so many more similarities than differences. Nourishment that smells like a child’s favourite meal. The encouragement that feels like a gentle nudge forwards on the back. Protectiveness that feels like a warm hug.
Holly, Marketing Automation Specialist
When I think of a mother’s love, I think of selfless and unconditional love. The check-in-every-day kind of love, even if there’s nothing “important” to update on. The knowing how I am without words kind of love. The being there at a moments notice, no questions asked kind of love. Fun times, serious times, scary times – whatever it is, a mum guides you through. That’s who my mum is, and the mum I very much hope to be for my son.
Quincy, Schools Partnership Manager
A mother’s love has no limits, knows no boundaries and is unconditional. Memories of my mother keep her and her love alive. Unknowingly, she prepares you for the day her love is tested when she leaves this life. Life isn’t the same without her. With each sunray, I feel the warmth of that love each day. A mother’s love lives on beyond this life. O le alofa o le tinā e fa’avavau – A mother’s love is FOREVER!
Kareshma, People & Culture Advisor
My bha (mother) – her love is unlike any other. It’s relentless and deep, it’s devotion that she has never thought twice about, it’s watching me make mistakes and loving me anyway, it’s picking me up off the ground and helping me piece back my broken heart, it’s gladly and joyfully giving all she has, and it’s sacrifice, over and over again, expecting nothing in return.
Raewyn, Process Analyst
A mother’s love is centred around food. My childhood home was filled with the delicious smell of freshly baked cookies or fruit being bottled or a roast dinner cooking in the oven. And the feeling of being so special when you got to choose your favourite meal to celebrate your birthday or a special achievement.
Lydia, Advocacy Communications Manager
My mum’s love makes me brave. She doesn’t make the 5-feet mark, but her love makes me tall. My mum’s love makes me laugh, keeps me safe, holds space for who I am, and makes me into someone better. There’s no phone call I’d rather make than the one I make every day to my mum. She’s the best.
Rachel, Media Advisor
A mother’s love is an incredible thing. Being away from my mum during the pandemic has shown me that distance is no match for a mother’s love. It is strong enough to conquer any barrier. It is unconditional and everlasting.
Spread the love this Mother’s Day and share what a mum’s love means to you.
