A mother literally and figuratively sacrifices her life for her children. Giving birth is like having your other foot on grave. Still, she accepts the risk just for her child to witness the wonders of this world.

She does not ask for anything in return, but of course nothing beats the happiness she'll feel when the child gives her honor. She'll be in tears, but that's actually the least we can do.

Our love will never equate her love for us. She'll love us even more. What matters is we constantly show them how much we appreciate and care. Kudos to the author for being appreciative of her mother, and of course Happiest Birthday to Mrs. Israel. :)
