Love you Mom!

You were the one who stayed up whilst I was ill; didn’t care a bit about your pains, your appointments/schedules. You kept an eye on me all night, lest I need something at those odd hours. I know how unmanageable and restless I used to get as a kid when I used to be running a temperature., and it was always you who used to pacify me, with all your soothing, sweet talk. You endured all my tantrums, to just take me to the doctor, and even cared to bribe me after that, so I’d end up happy finally. Later, you always even made sure that I didn’t end up being abashed about the tantrums I threw. You’d feel on top of the World with a thing as small as me being applauded for trivial things back at kindergarten. Later on, you’d stay up through the night, to get a dress ready for me to strut off the next day, at some kind of gathering in college. Needless to say, you have supported all my desires, and supported me in accomplishing them. Most importantly, you reasoned out with me when they weren’t logical. It is said that we shouldn’t apologize to those whom we call ours, and so, I won’t go apologetic over my wrong-doings, or my temper that shows up at times, since I know you would’ve forgiven me for all those the very next moment, and wished for me to see reason in my doings.

I do understand that you aren’t like everyone else, in terms of pampering us openly, in front of people and sorts…still, I know from the bottom of your heart, you think of us always… if I have had my lunch, if I got to eat properly, if I’ve been sleeping well, if I’m in some kind of pain, and wishing me to be relieved of all the pains, if any. In fact, I’ve never been quite the expressive kind that you sometimes might have expected of me..however, sometimes when I did complain of some sort of pain, you had selflessly wished that pain to be taken away from me, and be given to you! I never did speak out so, but mom, we love you, and I’m not saying so just because it’s Mother’s day tomorrow (coincidentally), be it any day, I will always love you. I might not be the perfect daughter, but, as always, I shall keep striving to be the daughter you always wished to have, one that makes you feel proud and one that’ll always strive to make you happy. Looking back now, I can proudly say I’m the confident person that I am, thanks to you, and of course, dad too! We love both of you loads!
