- Victor Hugo
What is motherhood? What is the nature of this unique bond that begins at birth and guides us throughout our lives? A mother needs patience, courage, tolerance, flexibility, firmness and a thousand other qualities that grow in the human soul. Above all, she is a true friend to her child. At times, when our lives seem beset with contradictions and betrayals, a mother's love is the constant that gives us the courage never to quit and keep on pursuing our goals, and the conviction that we can reach them.
We don't always tell our loved ones how much they mean to us, but with 365 Reasons You're the Perfect Mum you can show them. Packed full of inspirational quotes to put into words the things we can't always say, or don't say enough - how much we love our mums. This book is a tribute to mothers and motherhood, in fact, it's the perfect way to say what every mother wishes to hear.
Highlights include:- No one will ever touch my life exactly the way you do
- I treasure every gift you have given me for my birthday, even the silly ones
- You know when to stand up and speak, and when to put the kettle on
- A mother's love is rarely earned but freely given
- Everything starts with a mother
Also available in the series: 365 Reasons You're the Perfect Dad and 365 Reasons to be Proud
