Google dedicated its today's doodle to mark the International Mother's Day.
The doodle puts on show two pairs of footwear, one of a mother and the other of a child, representing the relationship between the two.
Sophie Diao, creator of the doodle, also remembers her intense bond with her mother with a beautiful message.
Her message reads, "As we get older, we forget how heavily we once relied on our mothers and mother-figures. Today's doodle for Mother's Day harkens back to a time in my youth when following Mom around was all I knew. Thanks, Mom, for all the sacrifices, laughs, and love."
During ancient days, Greeks and Romans held festivals in honour of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele.
