Behind the world's stories and life’s tragedies, there is a mother who becomes a source of tranquility. Undoubtedly, a mother figure is an angel without wings for everyone. Regardless of titles, status, achievements, or the uncertainties of both logic and emotions, a mother is a place of return for everyone.

A mother’s love and trust in her child knows no favoritism, even after someone reaches adulthood and starts their own family, a mother continues to guide them through life until her last breath with advice and counsel. At the end of a hectic and successful day, a mother remains an irreplaceable figure.

In the currents of life that can alter one’s identity and influence thoughts through social judgments, a mother remains a lighthouse reminding one to stay confident in life’s processes, even when times feel challenging and confusing. Through prayer, reflection, dedication, sacrifice, and unconditional love, a mother never forgets her child.

For many students, the journey through university is full of challenges and achievements. In difficult times, a mother’s support can be an extraordinary encouragement. Remember every comforting phone call, every visit bringing favorite foods, and every silent prayer. A mother not only gives us life but also the energy and confidence to pursue our dreams.

Moreover, a mother’s prayers can make the impossible possible. Her prayers and kindness can bring goodness that may not always be immediately felt but certainly come in moments of unexpected difficulty. A mother’s prayers are an unwavering source of strength, that even in the darkest times, can bring light, heal wounds, and open new paths. As expressed in a Javanese phrase, “Kula kelingan doa-doa ibu kula lan doa-doa menika tansah numuti kula,” which means “through remembering my mother’s prayers, these prayers always light up my path in life.”

Mother’s Day reminds us that behind every academic achievement, there are a mother’s hardworking hands, loving heart, and tireless spirit. Reflecting on the life lessons learned from our mothers, we learn about resilience, honesty, and selfless love. These values form a strong foundation in our academic journey.

Celebrating Mother’s Day is an opportunity to show our gratitude and appreciation. Send messages of love and thanks to your mothers. For those no longer with their mothers, cherish every precious moment spent together. Let those memories remind us of the significant role of a mother in our lives.

There is no greater love than that given by a mother. Even in the lowest or hardest stages of life, a mother sees her child as a person full of potential and hope. When all doors seem closed and darkness creeps in, a mother’s love remains a lantern lighting the way. In her eyes, the child is the light of her life, an unwavering hope, and the reason to keep fighting. A mother’s love never fades, even when time and hardships test it. She sees into her child’s heart, beyond all failures and flaws, and finds incredible beauty and strength. It’s an unconditional love that always embraces and lifts during the lowest moments, whispering courage and confidence that everything will be alright.
