Mother's Day

"A mother is someone who loves us so much, that we sometimes can’t understand it. A mother is someone who makes us realize how good we are, there is no one better than us. Her happiness is in our laughter and sorrow in our sorrow. She is someone we can’t live without, she is everything." -Rahul Khanna (from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, haha BOLLYWOOD!)
