Mother’s Day today: They will sacrifice anything, even their very lives, for their children. A mother’s love is unique and enduring. Despite all deprivations and obstacles, a mother will do her best for the children. Today is their day “Mother’s Day” when children all over the world remember with gratitude what mothers have done and are doing for them. Unfortunately, some mothers in the evening of their lives, like this elderly woman in Kalaoya are often neglected by their sons and daughters. This Mother’s Day is thus an opportunity to reflect on motherly love and our obligations towards them. Pic: Sudam Gunasinghe
