Mother's
Day this year was indeed very special to me. Not only is it the 100th
anniversary this year commemorating the birth of this day called Mother's Day,
I became a mother to another baby too. Adriana was born on the
morning of 13th May 2014. For me, she is the perfect Mother's Day gift.
I would like to share these images which were released by Ken Heyman, an 83 year-old photographer as a gift to the 100th Anniversary of Mother's Day, that have touched my heart.

Many
of these photographs were taken for a book Heyman created with anthropologist
Margaret Mead in 1965 called Family. These images perfectly capture
the love, pride, hopes and dreams that universally binds all mothers. Mothers
are multi-tasking, worrying, laughing, caring, and most importantly totally
infatuated with their little ones.
As
I looked through these images, I could not help but find myself repeatedly
asking, do I have what it takes to be a Mother?
