“God
cannot be everywhere, so He made mothers.”
This
has and will always remain my favorite quote. The major and the only reason for
my devoted likeness to this quote is because I’m blessed with the best mother
in the world. Dictionary wraps up meaning of mother as ‘a female who has given birth to offspring’. But, words can
hardly give a concrete definition to a mother.
A
mother is a universe where the only thing that resides is the undying love for
her child. She is the only person who accepts you as who you are and what you
are. She has known you since the time you started taking shape. She is among
the solitary manifestations of pure and selfless love. I better not dare try
to explain Her in words because if I do, then perhaps a book wouldn’t be
enough.
My
message to my readers (and especially to today’s youth) is that feel blessed
to have a mother. Feel glad that God has considered you worthy enough to
keep you under the warmth and love of a mother. This post is undoubtedly a
tribute to all ever loving and caring mothers. But, that does not mean that
your love and respect for Her should be restricted to this day only.
Don’t
forget that one day you will have to bid goodbye to your mother forever. Don’t
ever forget that there will be a cruel day when the comfort of your mother’s
kindness and love will be snatched from you forever. So, take every moment and
all opportunities to make her feel special. Give all the love you can while you
can. I am not saying that your relationship with your mother should be an absolutely
smooth one.
Nasty
feelings like anger, frustration and annoyance will be there. She might be over
possessive and over protective. But there is always a way of talking things out,
and do you know what the best part is? A child is the only person who can convince
a mother. If certain things get sour with your mother, then you are the only
person who can turn it sweet. Don’t hesitate to talk to her because no matter
how strict and harsh she appears, deep down she is truly, deeply and madly in
love with you.
I
hope this post has given you enough reasons to spare some time and share at
least a cup of tea once in a day with your mother. Once again Happy Mother’s
Day to all ever special mothers and all folks who are blessed with mothers!!
Please
share some ideas for surprise gifts so that I can use some for my *Maa.
*Maa
– In India, mother is addressed as Maa.
