Mother’s day:
A Mother’s pride day; children opt this day to wish their mom or whoever stands in such status in their hearts… and we the mothers are proud to announce ‘yessZ indeed my son, my daughter wished me’…. It’s the announcement to the world that ‘am a loved mother’ ‘am remembered by my kids’ ‘ I wasn’t a so bad a mother for them to forget me’ … and of course it’s a relaxation either that my motherhood wasn’t, at least for the time being, a forgotten episode in their life!! So my salutations to all those mothers who were lucky to have wished… my gratitude to my kids for remembering me… thank u sachu, subu, emy n gaytinee….
From a mom’s angle, a bit different, I view this day as a greatest occasion to express my Gratitude to the Existence for making me a woman; a mother. Another life is being carried to this world ‘through me’, The Mother; what’s that love or care more blissful than this??!! But I never knew the greatness of this act when I was given this supreme chance to be a mother prior to 26 years… it was kind of a struggle to cope with the new life shouldered on…. New vesture of ‘wife’ ‘mother’!! was trying to live for others; something far away from what I had been; when I say for others , I mean to say a life led according to the custom, condition and position of the reliant … a life alien to my very self…. Wanted to mould my kids to be the finest of souls… but I never knew then I was molding them again according to the norms, far away from their very selves… so, in that commotion I forgot my value as the very being who was blessed to be ‘The Mother’; the sole blessed soul in the universe… precious gift of the Existence…
The first ‘mother’s day in my life was when I let my kids decide their life; the day I realized I have slowly freed them from my lap; from my hold of possessiveness and from the clutches of etiquette…. And from then on I look upon the immaculate creation of the almighty – The mother; The Creator of another Life; The Synonym of Selfless Love.
