Mother's Day usually falls on the second Sunday of May each year. This year, 2011, Mother's Day is on May 8th.
To all the mothers out there, this day is for you. While every mother is equally important, I would like to make a tribute to the one mother that brought me into this world.
In many languages, Mom is either Mama or Mamma. But, in Thai Mom is Mae. Hence, while everyone else calls her Niarn, I call her Mae.

So Mae, this tribute is for you. To honour the trials and hardships that you had and for you to celebrate your motherhood. This tribute is for you, Mae.

You took on the challenge from the very beginning, when you experienced the labor pains that resulted in three beautiful baby girls and three boys. The pain must have been severe, but the love greatly overshadowed it.

| Mae and her granddaughter, Lynn |
As an infant, you fed us and nursed us. You cleaned us and changed our diapers. All this you did umpteen of times, since you had six children. And despite the exhaustion and occasional frustration, your love and patience prevailed.

As a child, you taught us the ABC’s. You read us stories and tucked us in at night. You disciplined us when we were out of line by giving us timeouts. And despite our struggles in school, you never gave up on us.

As a teenager, you gave us “the talk”. And during the hard times, you never gave up. You praised our successful achievements in high school and our good grades in college.

And to this day, your patience has endured. In all these years, you have demonstrated unconditional love, devotion and patience in raising me, not to mention my younger brothers and sisters. There are still many challenges ahead, but none that are too hard to face. And what else can I say? I love you, Mae. Thank you for always being there for me and never giving up.

The job of a mother is not an easy one. It’s full-time, and you don’t get paid. But the efforts are so rewarding. The love, the care and the respect that you get in return. Thank you Mae for taking on the hardest job in the world.
.... and Happy Mother’s Day, Mae!
I Love You!
You're My Goddess!
