My Mother, Ladies and Gentlemen.

You see that woman whose smile is lighting up the room?

Do you know that woman whose magical hands are the cause of the fragrance that fills the air?

Hey, have you met that woman? Who is willing to sacrifice anything and everything for her family?

That selfless, gorgeous and talented woman? That's my mother, ladies and gentlemen.

Did you know I have fought with that woman all my life?

Can you imagine her shrill voice scold you from across the living room?

Have you heard that she's very picky about where each object is positioned in that very living room?

Are you aware of what she does when something is not where she left it? Of how upset she becomes?

I do, because that's my mother, ladies and gentlemen.

You do realize that despite all that, she is one of the purest forms of heaven on earth, right?

Would you be able to empathise with her decision to disregard her career in hopes of giving her baby the best childhood possible?

Do you know about all that she has had to deal with? The bitter fights with her only child, the long arguments with her husband or the lack of gratitude for all she does?

Can you believe that she's been so consistent at being an angel that there is no instance where I can criticize her?

I can't do either- believe it or criticize her. That's my mother, ladies and gentlemen.

So, in short, the woman over there? The life of the party?

You know by now that she's an angel, right?

Are you able to understand all that she and every mother on this planet do for their children?

Will you ever be able to fully express your gratitude to them? Will you ever be able to criticize that woman?

Me neither. That's my mother, ladies and gentlemen.
