A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

This week, I choose to share with my readers a cultural contrast between my Arab heritage and that of Western society. One notable phenomenon that exists in the Arab world and less common in the West is poetry and song dedicated to a mother. Even though a love for one’s mother is a universal feeling whether in the West or the East, it was not easy for my Western friends to recall a song devoted to a mother. However, it has always been quite common in our Arab social gatherings to hear and sing songs dedicated to mothers where tears are stimulated and nostalgias are awakened in the hearts of all ages.

Most songs heard in the West speak a dialogue, nostalgia, or some form of feelings expressed by a lover to his or her beloved. There is much of that as well in Arabic poetry and song, where the word habeeby / habeebty (masculine and feminine for my beloved) is heard many times within one song. However, in addition to poetry dedicated to a beloved, Arab men and women, young and old, grow up reciting and singing poetry dedicated to their mothers.

Well in South Africa and i think in alot of other western countries mothers day falls on the first Sunday of MAY, and every few years my Birthday(8 May) is same day as mothers day, like this year :(

So i ended up doing dishes and breakfast in bed for mom on my B-day, but never complained she deserved it.

Happy mothers Day to all Moms for Sunday 8th May.

There are different dates for Mother's Day in the Arab world and the Western world. This is why the occasion is celebrated at least twice in a year.
