Today is Mother’s Day!
I spoke to my Mom on the phone.... She is not in the town, in
fact she has gone with my Dad to her peehar - thats my nanihaal, now a days they mostly
travel together ....she sounded more weak than yesterday. She is not keeping
well for last two years, but, she has always been very positive and repeats the
same thing every day – “ arre bhai , mere ko kal se to thik lag raha hai, thik
ho jayega”.... I am not very confident about it, her stomach pain worries me,
but I seem to be able to do nothing. Doctors are clueless too.
I wished her “Happy
Mother’s Day”! I wanted to. I had never
wished her before. She probably did not understand what I was saying as she
continued asking me if I am eating on time.... they wouldn’t have this day so
known in their times, but they always carried the value of their mothers, I don’t
know if I am doing that, probably not. Mothers always want to know whether you have
eaten on time, whether you are keeping all things in order, whether you are
doing well.... They feel your pain without even mentioning.... I am happy that
I could wish her today.
She knows for last 37 years how I have been eating....for as
long as I can remember, I have not changed my ways of eating and she has not
changed advising me on the same....well, I don’t mind that J! I am lucky to have her
around!
....Be it Dad or Mom, sometimes you just need them more than ever. The
way you walk into the house will tell them how your day have been....I am a
man, not so young, and am supposed to be strong, but I must confess that I still
feel afraid without them....I remember, my millionaire friend (who lost his both of the parents) mentioning once about how he often feels as if there is no roof over his head, and, how
he still wakes up at nights unable to sleep back....
Our everyday life does not
really have to face this, but at times the need for a family, for a
friend, for a companion is “unbearable”....well, that’s the only word which can
probably come a little close to how I feel about it.
Having parents around, certainly fills the life and its
emptiness to a great extent.
.. Just wondering if I can pay it forward.... probably providing
my kids the education of happiness, probably try seeing all kids around as mine,
probably creating a brighter and peaceful tomorrow for them, I can!
Wishing Happy Mother’s Day to all the women! ....You all are
mothers at your heart!
Mom, Thank You for giving me the breath, the blood and the milk!....Thank You for giving me the life!
Love you Mom! You rock:-)!
