Mother's Day is a day set aside to honour motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence a mother has in society. For her, were it not for a series of miscarriages, today would have been her first time celebrating Mother’s Day. To her, each passing Mother’s Day celebration comes with a painful reminder of her loss, grief and struggles in her fruitless efforts to bear a child. “Fibroids in black women are bigger and more in number than in Caucasian women,” Dr Kireki explained. Therefore, as the world marks Mother’s Day, it is wise to celebrate grieving mothers, those in waiting, those to be and anybody else who the society views as a mother figure without discrimination.
