A mother is your first teacher, mentor, friend, and caregiver. If you have been asking yourself, ‘why I love my mother,’ many things come into your mind. A mother is the only one who will love you unconditionally and be with you till her last breath. A mother not only brings a baby into this world, but she also raises them with selfless love and compassionate care.

So, recognize her hard work and tell her how much you love her and what she means to you. In this post, we talk about why mothers are priceless and the need to appreciate their efforts.
