Good is filial devotion to one’s mother in the world

~ Dhammapada – Sayings of the Buddha 1 (tr. J. Richards)

Today is a day to honor mothers.  We all have one.  She carried you in her womb and during that time was the sole provider of sustenance in your life.  Your entire world was inside of her while you were developing and being prepared for this world.  It was she who made you who you are while she was so entirely devoted to you.  No matter what your relationship with her today, spend time with her today… whether it be a visit or phone call, let her know that you are still devoted to her.
