Today is special, being Mother's Day. When I was a small girl in Delhi, I hadn't heard of this day, and so never wished my mother. I came to know of this day only about 20 years ago when we moved to Singapore! So the first thing I did today was to call my mother in Delhi and wish her Happy Mother's Day.
What is the role of mother in one's life? We realize it fully only when we become a mother. I have always admired my mother's courage, resilience and strong will power she has reflected throughout her life. Sometimes I feel that I have started talking and managing my home and other things like her. When I was doing PhD, she was there supporting me; when my daughters were born, she was there guiding me; when I was sick or stressed, she was there providing comfort and unconditional love; and when I didn't behave properly, she was there to discipline me!
Now I am the mother of two sweet daughters, and I am trying my best to be a good mother to them. In the morning, both of them wished me with flowers and cards, where they had penned down their feelings. I must have read those cards many times by now, and each time I read I feel as if I am reading them for the first time! I pray to God to keep my mother healthy, happy and loving to me always, and give me wisdom and strength to become a good mother myself!
