Mother’s Day is an event celebrated to allow children worldwide to honour and cherish their mothers.
Mothers have sacrificed their time and loved us unconditionally since we were in their wombs for nine months.
This year, my family and I had a special and awesome Mother’s Day celebration. We decided to celebrate Mother’s Day at home due to the pandemic. This did not affect the mood of our celebration. We planned the event weeks before. My mother was kept in the dark about the celebration.
On that day, my sister and I woke up at the break of dawn. Packed with a bundle of energy, we went into an eager beaver mode, doing all the housing chores: from sweeping the floor, wiping the windows until they were as clear as crystals, to vacuuming the carpet and dusting the furniture. You can imagine how we were literally ‘over the moon’ when we saw our mother’s eyes brightened up with delight when she saw everything appeared brand-spanking new. . When we greeted her, “Happy Mother’s Day,” she immediately gave each of us a kiss.
Afterwards, my father brought my mother to her favourite cafe for breakfast. They also went to buy some groceries. Meanwhile, my brother and I stayed at home to cook some scrumptious dishes for our beloved mother. My sister went to a nearby bakery shop to buy a specially-made cake for our mother. We all know thatshe has a sweet-tooth.
Later, my siblings and I collaborated on our creative ideas to decorate the hall with eye-catching balloons and colourful banners. Many mouth-watering and delectable dishes were set up on the coffee table. We also put on our best looking attires to welcome our mother with open arms when she reached home. This, of course, was planned meticulously.
In the afternoon, when our parents finally returned home, my sister took out the melted chocolate cake, while my brother and I presented our mother a bouquet of pink fragrant tulips. We also treated our mother with a yummilicious meal that we had cooked earlier. Then, we gave her a big and warm hug. She was touched. Nothing could express her feelings but we could see her tears of joy. Nothing could better describe the atmosphere around the house than to say that we were indeed on cloud nine and had a whale of time that day!
Happy Mother’s Day:
My mother is as graceful as a swan,
the best dancer ever.
My mother’s love is as warm as the sun,
the best hug ever.
