"Every child in the world deserves the best start in life. 90% of the brain develops during the first five years - and quality care then can set up a child to be healthy, do well at school and eventually succeed in the workplace.

But 250 million children under five are prevented from reaching their full potential because they live in poverty, have poor nutrition and health services, or just lack good care." ... See MoreSee Less

On this Mother's day I am perplexed as to how should I feel? Should I look backward or forward?

My mother Kulsoom is 87 years old, full of life but getting very frail. I remember her as a vibrant strong woman who has been a driver behind my successes and achievements. I know she has entered the last chapter of her life. I am blessed that I am taking care of her and see her everyday. Every day is a privilege!

My daughter Sonia left this world almost 5 years ago....she was everything for me. On every Mother's Day she would give me a gift of jewelry with a heart. I would joke with her that I am having too many hearts....now I know that's not possible. I am taking her mission of educating underprivileged girls and this is my gift to her for the rest of my life.

My mother shaped who I am and my daughter is shaping who I will become!

I have memories and a mission....and my 2 young boys Issa and Adam to focus on at present.

Happy Mother's Day to every woman regardless of being a mother or not. We all have mother in us!
