Editor’s Welcome A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path. ~Agatha Christie 4

More than a hundred years ago, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation dedicating the second Sunday of May as an official national holiday in the United States to honour mothers and motherhood. The tradition took hold and eventually spread in most parts of the world, with most countries celebrating the special day in the month of May. In the UAE, the holiday is officially celebrated on the 21st of March, but nonetheless, many tourists, foreign workers and immigrants residing in the region celebrate the tradition in May. To our mum who carried us inside their wombs for nine months, spent countless sleepless nights and gave us all the love and care that we needed, we express our love and gratitude. We at Out and About STYLE Magazine dedicate this wonderful month to them: a tribute to thank and honour our special heroes.
