Mother. A small word yet your entire world revolve around it. A powerful aura that surrounds your entire being till eternity. An entity that devoted all her life to be there for you and put you and your needs above everything. An individual who cries unbearably whilst you are in pain and smiles with pride in your happiness. That is the supremacy of a mother and no one in this whole wide world can replace her or take her place instead.
