Assalamu Alaikum
Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday May 11, 2003 in the US. It's the time to think of all the mothers in the world. Mothers who have lost their children in the recent war; mothers who are worried about the future of the world. But most of all your own mother. How is your relationship with your mother. What is the most special thing you can do with your mother. Can you arrange an evening in which you listen to your mother's life story? Can this be a day of break for your Mom from the routines of life?

Summer is around the corner and many families will be visiting Pakistan. This newsletter offers some insight and guidelines to make this trip fruitful.

Peace

.:: 10 THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR MOM
Often, moms do virtually all of the giving and very little, if any, of the taking from their families. They may not say it, but most of them want to be appreciated in small ways. You don't have to buy them a car or a house (you could do that too), but it's the small things that count with mom.
