Sentinel Editorial
Which woman in your life — past or present — has been your teacher, your disciplinarian, your guide, the unwavering rock who loves you despite your flaws and shortcomings? For many, the first name that comes to mind is their mother. But for others, it may be a grandmother, an aunt, an elder friend, or even an older sibling.
These figures shape us in ways that extend far beyond childhood. They nurture us with protection, compassion, and humility, playing a vital role not only in our upbringing but in our personal growth throughout adulthood.
That is why we dedicate a day to honoring mothers. This Sunday, May 11, is Mother’s Day. Here at the Sentinel, we encourage our readers to take a moment to reflect on the mother or mother figures in their lives — their sacrifices, their wisdom, and their unconditional love. Recognize them. Celebrate them. Let them know how much they mean to you.
Honoring our mothers isn’t just about buying the biggest bouquet of flowers — though some moms do love that. More than gifts, it’s about understanding and appreciating what truly makes them feel special. For some, the greatest joy is spending quality time with family, sharing laughter, memories, and meaningful conversations. Others may prefer a moment of peace and solitude, a chance to relax and reflect. No matter how we choose to celebrate, the most important thing is showing our love and gratitude in a way that speaks to their hearts.
To all mothers everywhere, we at the Sentinel would like to wish you a happy Mother’s Day.
