Motherhood is one of the most exhilarating and defining periods of a woman’s life. Our team has put together some extremely special and heart warming mother’s day quote to make the first lady of your life feel on the top of the world.
The entire experience of carrying a fetus in your womb, taking care of it till the last day of the pregnancy, bearing all major hormonal changes and bodily changes in order to give birth to a healthy baby at the end of the pregnancy period is an experience that changes a person forever. The beginning of pregnancy is actually the beginning of motherhood, a lifelong experience in taking care of your kids and making sure that they have the best life possible.
But this is just a conventional approach to this phase. It is time to change the notion that only women can be mothers, just because they give birth to the babies. Motherhood is a feeling, an emotion that can be experienced by a person irrespective of gender or any biological process involved. A single man can be a mother to his children, a woman can be nurturing towards her adopted kids, a gay man can be a perfect mother to his kid or a transgender woman can go through motherhood. Their bodies, gender or their fertility doesn’t determine their nurturance capabilities.
Saluting all these mothers for their tireless and thankless job, here are 101 Mother’s Day quotes. Here’s to the amazing mother figure in your life, or to the mother figure that you are to your kid.

She is the one who never leave my hand no matter how much i fight with her,
She is the one who never complains for anything you do to her,
She is the one with whom i can share everything without fear,

She fight for me when i am innocent,
She trust me who others don’t,
This is why She is the one who is my Best Friend. Love you mom…” ― Debolina Bhawal - She was my mother and she would not leave me. This I had simply accepted and expected. I had no more thanked her for it than i did the sun for shining on me.” ― Khaled Hosseini
