“Mothers hold their child’s hand for a moment and their hearts for alifetime.”
The 12th of May is the day we celebrate the women who raised us. They dedicate their lives to us, they’re selfless yet strong, they’re affectionate and protective…
It goes without saying that being a mother is one of the toughest, most rewarding jobs out there.
But one day isn’t enough to show our gratitude for all their hard work and sacrifices to make us happy, safe, and well. They do so much for us, and sometimes, we don’t even realise that. So the least we can do is honor them whenever we get the chance.
Therefore, today’s blog is dedicated to every mother out there! We hope they’ll have the best days with their loved ones, filled with love and joy! They deserve it!
To every mother who spent the night awake by her sick child, ngursing them and taking care of them. To every mother who always worries about their family’s safety other than their own. To every mother doing the best they can to please their children, whether by making them their favourite food, or planning the best next vacation.
To every mother who worked extra hours in order to provide everything for her children so they wouldn’t miss a thing, not even the smallest ones. To every mother supporting their children in every decision they make and encourage them to be the best version of themselves every day.
To every mother who raised a child alone, or children who aren’t of her own.
To every mother who became one without a baby.
To every mother who left us, but still resides in our hearts.
You are our home, our precious ones. Without you, we’re nothing.
You are the light that guides us through the darkness. You are the love that fills our hearts and keep us moving. You are the beauty that the world needs.
No matter what happens, and no matter what trouble we face, your smile is what helps us get through the day. We would do anything to protect it and cherish you. We love you, and appreciate everything you’ve done for us.
Happy mothers day to all of you marvellous women. You simply deserve all what’s beautiful in life!

Dog waits for 6 days outside hospital for sick owner
A dog has proven its loyalty to its owner, who was admitted in a hospital in northeastern Turkey, after waiting for six days until he was discharged.
In a CNN report, Cemal Senturk was hospitalized at Medical Park Hospital in Trabzon on January 14.
The owner’s dog, named Boncuk, escaped from their apartment and followed him to the hospital and she waited patiently.
Hospital staff informed Senturk’s family about the whereabouts of the dog.
They attempted to bring Boncuk back home, but she managed to escape and return to the hospital again according to Murat Ercan, the hospital’s international patient center director, in a statement on CNN.
“His dog ‘Boncuk’ has followed him to the hospital gate and refused to leave for six days until her owner was discharged,” Ercan said in a statement.
“Even though the family took Boncuk back home, she managed to escape every day to wait at the hospital gate,” the official added.
The owner tried to communicate with his dog through his window. The dog however refused to leave the facility.
The dog won captured the attention of hospital staff and they took care of the dog.
“Cemal Senturk has been with Boncuk for nine years, and he also stated that he missed her a lot during his stay at the hospital,” he said.
“After he was cleared to go out, he met his dog at the hospital gate. Boncuk has behaved really sweet during the six days and has managed to capture the love and affection of the whole staff,” the statement added.
Best friends. We’ve all had one, or two or even three. They come and go, and if we’re lucky we’ve had a best friend for a really long time. And as life goes, you come across an abundance of people, or maybe just a few, that all mean so much to you in their own way. But, is having more than one best friend okay? If you already have a best friend, but consider another friend your best friend as well, does it really count?
The answer, if not obvious already, is yes. And here’s why.
All Friendships Are Different
Each friendship develops differently and they each have their own special moments. It’s the differences in the friendships that make each and every one of them so important, because none is like the other. Some friendships start off immediately while others take time to progress. And some friendships have their own traditions while others tend to go with the flow, but in the end they all matter. The way they started and what makes them different is what leads you to consider that person as your best friend.
All Friends Have Their Own Superpower
Believe it or not, friends have superpowers. It's not the kind of superpowers that you read in a comic or see in a movie, but it's more of the realistic kind of superpowers. The kind where they know exactly what to do when you are feeling sad or know what to say to encourage you when you are feeling doubtful. Having more than one best friend, you realize that each of them have their own superpower and not all are the same. And despite the differences in each of them though, you realize that their friendship along with their amazing superpowers are exactly what keeps you grounded.
Time Doesn’t Matter with Friendships
Friendships begin in all throughout our lives. You may have your high school best friend, but you may also have a college best friend. Just because you meet someone earlier or later than another doesn’t mean that their friendship doesn’t hold the same value. Yes, friendships take time to grow, but you will know if that new friend that you met a few months or so ago is your best friend. Not through how long you’ve known each other, but rather through the special moments that have tucked themselves deep inside your heart. A New York Times bestselling author called Dodinsky says, “There are friendships imprinted in our hearts that will never be diminished by time and distance.”
Despite the Different Friendships You Love Them All the Same
When you ask your parents who they love the most between you and your siblings and they respond with, “We love you all the same,” you might sigh and roll your eyes. But, when having more than one best friend, you begin to somewhat understand what they mean. Despite the different friendships, despite all the special moments shared within each friendship and despite the various superpowers your friends may have, you realize that you love them all the same. And that love is shown in their own special way.
But don’t forget, friendship is a two-way street. Make sure to show your best friends your own super powers and help them through their struggles. Let them know that they all mean a lot to you and show them that it's the differences that make them special.
