"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things, and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."

Banksy's painting for the Southampton General Hospital called game changer (2020).
Banksy Just Made a Surprisingly Earnest Painting of a Superhero Nurse and Donated It to a British Hospital as a Morale Booster.
The painting, an uncharacteristic medium for the elusive street artist, shows a young boy playing with a superhero doll dressed as a nurse, complete with a mask and apron bearing the Red Cross symbol, and a cape fluttering behind her. Next to the child, a wastebasket holds castoffs, including Spider--Man and Batman figurines---outdated versions of superheroes in our new pandemic-stricken world.

The coronavirus pandemic is creating a hunger crisis: More than 17 percent of young children in the United States lack sufficient food, according to research --- a rate three times higher than during the worst of the Great Recession.

The most likely explanations are the rise in unemployment and the interruption in school meal programs. "I've eaten a lot less just to make sure they get what they need," said one Ohio woman, who is trying to make $170 in monthly food stamps go far enough to feed her grandchildren.

Today is International Midwives' Day.
A midwife is a person, typically a woman, trained to assist women in childbirth. May 5 has been dedicated to their services since 1991. There were also those who were the doting motherly women who brought up kids with love and care.
In India, however, no one comes close to Panna Dai. Legend has it that Panna Dai sacrificed her own son to save the child she had helped bring to the world.
The story of Panna Dai: Vikramaditya II, the son of Maharana Sangram Singh of Mewar, is believed to have been an ill-tempered and arrogant king. Sangram Singh had died in a battle with Mughal emperor Babur. Sangram Singh's eldest son Ratan Singh II succeeded him on the throne but was killed in battle four years later. Vikramaditya took over the throne of Mewar.
Vikramaditya's youngest brother, Udai, was put in the care of Panna Dai who was also his wet nurse. Panna's son Chandan was the same age as prince Udai. We told you Vikramaditya was arrogant. The chieftains in his court did not like him and after he misbehaved with an old chieftain, they threw Vikramaditya under palace arrest.
A distant cousin of Sangram Singh, Bhanbir, took over as the king of Mewar. He then killed Vikramaditya in his palace to end the possibility of any threat to his rule. Bhanbir then ran with the same blood-soaked sword towards the palace quarters of Panna Dai to kill Udai Singh II. A maid informed Panna Dai about Bhanvir making his way towards her to kill Udai. Panna Dai had to act quickly. You may think Bhanvir was a slow runner, but remember, these palaces were huge.
Panna Dai, meanwhile, decided she must save the rightful heir to Mewar's throne. In that bid, Panna Dai put Udai Singh in a fruit basket and her own son Chandan in the bed where Udai Singh was supposed to be sleeping. Bhanvir came and killed Chandan. Having run so long, a huffing and puffing Bhanvir wouldn't have had the energy for target verification, so Panna Dai managed to save prince Udai.
