It's a deal that has worked throughout human history: Your parents take care of you when you are little and you return the favor when they are old.

But sometimes the usual arrangement is turned on its head.

Maria Garcia is 87 years old. After a rich and rewarding life, she is now suffering from dementia. The person she depends on more than anyone else in the world… is her mother.

I've seen many moms who take care of their children who suffer disability.

Mother's love is the greatest love in the world.

That's why every year we have a special day to pay tribute to the beloved mothers.
