Motherhood is a celebration!!
These are the sentiments of Taufa Vakatale who said she has achieved a lot of things in her personal life and career, but at the end of the day she has always viewed being a mother as the most important role that she will ever play.
Vakatale acted as Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1994, and Deputy Prime Minister from 1997 99.
Vakatale said all mothers should view mothers day as a celebration of nurturing.
She added she admires mothers these days as they are faced with a lot more problems.
Today mothers all around the country will be pampered by their loved ones as they pay tribute to a person who has endured a lot for their happiness and well being.
Mothers Day which is celebrated every second Sunday in May, was born from an idea that originated on May 12, 1907 when Anna Jarvis of West Virginia, held a memorial, for her mother two years after her death and thereafter embarked upon a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday.
As people get preparations underway for the usual Mothers Day Sunday feast, Fijivillage News asked people on their thoughts about Mothers Day.
