I Love My Mom Because...
by IRFAN & RAHAT
Mothers are the light of our lives. They love us, adore us, cherish us and sacrifice their entire way of life to provide us a better future. We can take them for granted, occasionally make them feel unwelcome and get irritated, but during our most painful moments their smell is what we crave for, we pine for their warmth when nothing feels conciliatory, and hope that they would let us corral our arms around her.
