Mother, mother, mom. No matter how you say it, the word does not lose its meaning. And whether biological or foster, the mother is the most important creature in our lives. World Mother's Day, then, is the day to celebrate motherhood and thanks to the mother.
In fact, it is a celebration with ancient Greek references to the worship of the goddess Kyveli, the mother of the gods, as addressed by Pindar ("Kybela, Mother of gods").
