Who is a hero? Someone who sacrifices her entire life for another person. In short, every mother is a hero. She’s the person who brought you into this world and she’s the one who’s there for you no matter what. Your mom never complains, never demands and never ever acts selfish. Just think of all the things your mother has done for you, small and big, from as early as you can remember and you’ll realise how lucky you are. Here are 12 reasons why your mom deserves a medal.

1. Be it the time you fell down and grazed your knees or the time somebody in school was mean to you, your mother sat with you for hours and hours till you felt alright.

2. Despite having a hundred different things to do, she always remembered to pack healthy food for you in the morning and hid little treats for you in the lunch bag.
