Mums do so much for us, they cook, clean and care for us, love, lecture and laugh with us. There is no way we can ever really thank Mum for everything she’s done. However Mothers’ Day is a great time to say “I love you Mum” and show her how we remember and appreciate all the sacrifices she made while raising us.

A mother laughs our laughter, Sheds our tears, Returns our love, Fears our fears, She lives our joys, Cares our cares, and all our hopes and dreams she shares. ”Julia Summers”
