I remember learning a song for a singing competition, when I was a child. A song titled ‘Mother of Mine’. To me, the 8 year old kid back then, it was just a song, with a nice tune, and it won me the first prize. That was all to it.
Today when I sing the same song, I realize how well I can associate every line of that song with my relationship with Mom.
Today is Mother’s Day and how can my day end without a tribute to the most beautiful soul in my life?
- The angel who held me in her arms while my body burnt with fever, soothing me with her touch, till I recovered completely
- My best friend who accompanied me to movies, the beach, restaurants or even for a long drive, during my teens
- The guiding star who gave me all the freedom to do whatever I wanted to, but was there, watching me, to catch me if I faltered
- The epitome of sacrifice, who always put me before her, sacrificing her wants, her desires, even ignoring her ailments, just to see the smile on my face
Here’s to lots more ‘Mother’s Days’ in your life as a mother, Mom!
Love you. You mean the world to me!
