It will be quite strange to know that Dwight Eisenhower interrupted planning of the Allied invasion of France in May 1944 to send a mother's day greeting to Ida Eisenhower in Kansas. There is yet another story narrating the strong relationship a mother had with her son. It is said that when Franklin Roosevelt was quarantined with scarlet fever at boarding school, his distraught mother Sara used to climb a ladder to peer through the window of his room to check on his recovery. Every man has a story to tell about his childhood days and they will all be incomplete without the tales of their mothers. In a world where children are a part of broken homes and divorces, she remains a life-giver and, even in today's changing society, still the chief nurturing figure in the family. Together, they develop a healthy and strong relationship with each other, whereby the son looks up to her in awe and reverence and she continues to be the eternal figure of love and compassion. This mother's day, pay a loving tribute to your mother for her unceasing efforts in raising you. Below are given some quotes that describe the very heart of this relationship and are perfect to use with other greetings and gifts.
