Mum, Mama is univers

"Mum, Mama is universally understood as unconditional love of one's children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. To each of you we wish you health, joy and many familial memories for many years to come. Those of us who aren't Mums, we are godmothers, aunts who are in awe of the many roles mothers have in today's world. Have a wonderful day!"

They shall grow not

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.
