On this Global Day of Parents, we celebrate the unselfish love, dedication, and sacrifices of mothers and fathers, and mother and father figures around the world whose roles in instilling values, nurturing the new generations, and offering endless support do not go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Being a parent is definitely not a walk in the park—it has its ups and downs, but the reward and sense of fulfillment of having to rear a child and watch them grow healthy, loving, strong, and God-fearing is beyond measure.

Looking back to its declaration in 2012 by the United Nation General Assembly, still, this celebration remains true to its aim to stimulate awareness of the importance of parenthood and its role in providing protection and the tools needed for positive development in children.

So, here’s to our first teachers and nurturers! Thank you for being beacons of life and for the blessing that you are. We would not have done it if it were not for you.
