First things first – this a helpful reminder.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday March 26, so you’ve got around a week to plan something, or at the very least organise some flowers or a gift before then. We’ve only remembered thanks to Henrikh Mkhitaryan, so we thank him for another trademark assist.
The Manchester United playmaker seems like a thoroughly decent chap off the pitch as well as a magician on it, and shared a snap with his own mum, Marina Taschyan, out on a meal at a fancy restaurant to celebrate her birthday. What a kind and thoughtful son he is.
Not that that was the first reaction of the most of his followers. They were more interested and shocked at how young Ms Taschyan, who works for the Armenian FA, was looking. Seeing as Mkhitaryan is approaching 30 himself, no one could work out how she could look so incredibly youthful…
A mother's love is like nothing else in the world. Happy Birthday Mom! pic.twitter.com/1QUUCt8USl
