Such an effortless and naïve word, “MOTHER”.
But let me tell you a story from the book of “Gobal Nnov or sometimes referred to as GOV”.
The word mother is actually just a “stem” word.
It was derived from the word “SMOTHER”.
Take out the affix “S” and you’ll have the word mother.
But why amongst plenty of affixes or prefixes for that matter, how come it was “S”?
According to the book of “GOV”…..
The reason being is that it is celebrated every “S”econd “S”unday of the month of May.
Highly noticeable are the prefixes “S” right?
But it doesn’t end there the legend that is in the word mother.
Let’s further decipher the usually unscathed definition of mother.
As previously mentioned, “SMOTHER” is the derivative of the insensate word mother.
You look at any dictionary and thesaurus books and you’ll find the following meanings.
Overwhelm, conceal, suffocate, surfeit…..
Wow, an insensitive word in “mother” when put a prefix of “S” becomes a powerful and moving word!
In “idiom”, MOTHERS as they usually conduct themselves aren’t grandstanding and show-off.
They simply just do their heavenly smothering acts without wanting anything in return tangibly or intangibly.
True enough, I’ve seen how “MAHAL” (my wife) does things with Ate Maisie and Jaden.
She overwhelms them with love, affection, and care.
She conceals them from negative influences and health hazards.
She suffocates them with education and religious habits.
All in all, her doting love certainly surfeits anything that is in this realm of earth has to offer.
With best wishes for our family, advance HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MAHAL!!!
I love you very very very much!
To Ate Maisie and Jaden – you were, are, and will always be enriched by your mother with
nothing but the best rearing and upbringing tools and she wants nothing in return
but for you to be successful and GOD-fearing persons.
I love you very much Ate Maisie Vernice and Jaden Monique!!!
