A letter to mom

“Happy Mother’s Day”


To Maa,

I have never wished you “Happy mother’s day”. You were always used to say you get gift for your father and never get me anything and if I get something you will say, I don’t like the colour. I was used to get irritated when you were used to call in the middle of the meeting just to ask if I had my food or not. I was used to get irritated when during exams you were used to keep awake whole night and poking me at every hour if I want tea or not. I never said how beautiful you are. I never said “Thank you” for what you were doing for me. May be I never realized or maybe I was too busy or maybe I thought mothers are supposed to do so. I never shared my issues with you but when you saw me in stress you just said, ”Don’t worry I am there.” I know that you can’t practically do anything with the issue but your words were enough to give me strength.

Today I look at the call and so want to hear if I had food or not. Whenever I feel sleepy I need tea by you. When I am stressed I need your words .I know you are still there with me in the form of blessings and protecting me and guiding me. Even today I won’t wish you “Happy Mother’s day.” I feel it’s unfair. Mother gives away their life for kids, Forget herself and their kids become their world and we just appreciate her only one day in a year. Mothers deserve to be appreciated each moment.

Maa, from bottom of my heart I thank you for bringing me into this world, raising me, supporting me making me an independent woman what I am today. Though I wish if you could have stayed with me more in this life but I know there’s the other world which needs you more and you are always with me. You are the most gorgeous, bold and courageous woman I dream of to be. Thank you for everything and forgive me if I have hurt you intentionally or non-intentionally.

Thank you for making me experiencing the unconditional love


Love
