Today my heart feels a little heavier, missing my beautiful mum who is far away from me. Even though distance separates us, the love and gratitude I have for her only grows stronger with each passing day. Mum, thank you for everything you have done — your love, your sacrifices, your prayers — they have shaped my life in ways words can’t fully express. I wish I could be there to celebrate this special day with you in person.
In Nepal, Mother’s Day is known as “Aama ko Mukh Herne Din”, which translates to “the day to see mother’s face.” It is a day to honour and show appreciation to our mothers. Children visit their mums, offer gifts, sweets, and heartfelt blessings. Traditionally, we prepare a special ceremony called Sagun, where symbolic food items such as yoghurt, fruits, eggs, and sweets are offered to the mother as a way of wishing her good fortune, health, and happiness.
If your mum is nearby, give her a warm hug today. If she’s far away, like mine, take a moment to call her, video chat, or simply send her love across the miles. Our mums deserve to feel our gratitude not just today, but every day.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers! You are truly a blessing.
