Mother's Day !

I read somewhere, ‘Someday someone will break you so badly, that you will become unbreakable.’ Well, mothers are indeed unbreakable by now.

Personally, I do not believe in celebrating one day for mothers. Mothers are not stories to be told once but sagas – detailed, exquisite, sublime and fascinating, that is perpetual.

‘Mamma, where is my book?’, ‘Mamma, where is my towel?’, ‘Mamma, going out with friends.’, ‘Mamma, can you get that for me ?’ and so on. Our demands, questions and persistence never tend to cease and neither does a mom’s love.

She works tirelessly day in and day out only to be felt unappreciated every single day. We take her for granted. We always think that, ‘well, that’s what moms are supposed to do. Take care of everything’. (Big mistake!) But at the end of the day, she feels tired, she feels needed and most of all, she longs for the love of her family and a little support. Regardless of whether she gets that, tomorrow is again a fresh start for her. She begins again ! Day after day….

Moms are special because of the things they do, the selfless love and of all the pain they endure and never mention a word of it. They are special because of the way they make us feel.

Let us today and EVERYDAY understand them, respect them and love them back as they do because nothing in this world can replace an unconditional love of a mother. They are not stories but sagas – grand and majestic in every possible way and in every little thing they do. Treat them right !

To each such unbreakable MOM – Happy Mother’s Day !
