No language can express the power and beauty and heroism and majesty of a mother's love.
---Edwin Hubbell Chapin
A mother's love is limitless, abundant in joy, support, and forgiveness. This book is about the great love of mothers for their sons, the strong bond between mothers and sons, and the all aspects of the loving relationship between them.
The book contains eight parts:
1. Special Moments
"My Sinking Heart" describes the loneliness of a mother whose son is away serving in the navy. She misses her son terribly on her birthday. She doesn't expect him to return to celebrate her 50th birthday with her. But to her great surprise and joy, her son disguises himself as a firefighter, appearing at her surprise birthday party. What a great strong bond between the mother and the son!
2. Boys Will be Boys
"Wassup?" is about the challenge a mother encounters during his son's teen years. The mother is bewildered with her son's way of communication- using one or two words to convey the main idea. She endeavors to conceive a way to communicate with her son. But to the end, she accepts that it's just a phase of growing.
3. A Mother's Love
4. A Son's Love
Just as Pindar says, " Every gift, though it be small, is in reality great if given with affection." This touching story describes how a loving mother cherishes her son's gift-a string necklace made of hand-colored macaroni pieces. She wears it everywhere she goes and shows it to everyone who admires this special gift. As time passes, the necklace is broken and forgotten. But to her great surprise, over twenty-five years later, the son of the loving mother presents her a small box with a pearl necklace in it. He gives his mother the special gift because he wants to thank his mother's genuine appreciation of his small gift of the string necklace when he is a small boy.
It's a touching story to read.
