What do you hope for as a mother?
If there is a relationship which stands the test of time, it would be that of a mother’s. Undoubtedly, a mother’s love effortlessly outperforms all other relationships on the planet. Her importance in the life of a child cannot be overstated, and we can all agree on that.
Honorifics are no match for a mother’s own way of giving light in terms of her unending love, dedication, and devotion to her family.
Over the years, we have seen these women became a pillar on every person’s growth and it is with every second Sunday of May we give honor to the influential vessels of the world.
For this annual matriarchal day of celebration, The Quill asked six mothers who shaped the life of their children with their own simple way of caring. Let’s give them a moment of appreciation as they answer the question: “What do you hope for as a mother?”

Ang akong gipanghinaut na ang akong mga anak dili mahiguman sa mga di maayong barkada ug di sila molinghayaw. Isip ginikanan gi tarong nako sila pagtratar kay maayo nako sila pagdala.

Single Mother na ko unya naglisod ko pero kayanon ra gyud sa pagpaningkamot. Sa tibook tuig nako aning kalibutana gusto ra nako hapsay ang kinabuhi sa akong mga anak ug nindot na kaugmaon para kanila.
