The queen of our hearts deserves more than just flowers

MOTHERHOOD is a natural and traditional vocation honoured since the days of old, as the job goes beyond bearing and raising children.

As such, it is common to see that practices of paying respects to mothers are embedded across cultures; at the very least in the Asian context, even in a less matriarchal environment – to speak softly to her, to bow and kiss her hands, and to touch her feet for blessings, among others – mothers remain to be endeared.
