Dear Mothers!

I heartily congratulate You on the wonderful and kind holiday - Mother's
Day.

There is nothing dearer in the world than the woman who gave us life.
Everything kind, sincere, and humane is associated with the name of our
mother for us. She gives her children immeasurable love, care, tenderness,
and warmness, protecting them and the home.

Mothers' work has never been easy. To dress, to soothe, to see the world
with the eyes of a child, to understand, and to forgive - these are the
kinds of large and small challenges that fill the lives of our mothers. They
teach us life's wisdom, bless us for good deeds, and keep us back from
making wrong decisions.

Having sent us into the world, mothers always keep an eye on us, hoping that
their children live with dignity among the people and do good. And, no
matter how old we are - five or fifty - we always remain children for our
mothers while they always remain our mentors, advisors, and faithful
friends.

I bow down to the ground to all mothers! Wish You happiness and well-being.

Respectfully, Victor Yushchenko
