A Tribute To Mothers

I specially dedicate this post to mothers, for you are truly the best in this world other than the true friends in life who we will come to know.

Mothers go through a lot to bring us into this world. The pains of childbirth, the pains of carrying you all forgotten the very moment she sees you crying for the very first time. In the process of seeing you, she has forgotten all the pains and aches that came to her during the process of carrying you. And which is something I wonder, for the day when kids will realize what their mother went through to bring them into this world. Despite all the challenges of childbirth, your mother has never, ever said a single -ve thing about carrying you. In fact, she is looking forward to seeing you because you are the main reason why she is carrying you inside her! But what do kids or children nowadays do? They demand, order, shout, scream, bark at their mother, but what does the mother do? No doubt the mother will flare up, but very soon she will forgive you. Why? The answer? Love! When you do something wrong, your mother may beat you with a cane or feather duster. But very soon, the very minute you say from the bottom of your heart that you are sorry, she forgives you. Why? The answer? Love again! When a child is about to face imminent danger, the mother quickly holds the child in her arms, back towards the danger shielding the child. Why? The answer? Love yet again! If you have ever have the chance to look at the ancient ruins of Pompeii, an ancient town buried when Mt Vesuvius erupted, you might chance to see a scene where a mother hugged her child with her body over the child. The child died too of course, but what drove the mother to face such grave danger? Love!

Beating pains you physically but it hurts the heart for the mother. So who is getting the real deal of getting a beating? Love, but still there is the need to beat! The pain will give you growth but its essential! The thought of the pain or the cane might make you cringe but what good is the beating if it loses its lesson of you?

Blessed are those with mothers, but let us not forget about those who do not have this blessing. These children grow up in conditions with no one to help them in their times of need, but yet an advantage of it is that these children grow up to be more independent compared to those of their age. Many people complain about their lot in life but yet do not realise how fortunate they are!

I am unable to cover everything, but I can tell you that your mother will go through ANYTHING just so that you can be happy, do ANYTHING just so that you can have a little more extra to eat, at the expense of her own happiness & health. To summarise everything about your mother in one word: LOVE! Her love includes sacrificing beyond your imagination! Lying hurts her the most, your future worries her the most. Nothing will ever be enough to repay their kindness & love, and the only thing they want to see from you is not the money that you bring in from the business you own or the lifestyle you provide for them. What they want to see is your growth, and the best thing you can ever do for them is honour & glory.

Love, cherish & care for your mother while she is still there. For those who are deprived of a mother, my deepest respect to you for your independence & lessons in life that you went through.
