Who is your mother to you? Friend? Confidant? Soulmate?

The one who has often held me and been a constant source of motivation is my dear mother, who is everything to me and whose presence can just better things

Who said that soulmates could only be your partners? Have you felt the sudden burst of happiness on seeing somebody very important? Someone who has been with you for a long time, yet has been ignored the most. Someone who has always been there, yet has never been acknowledged enough. Someone who has always stood by, yet has never been cheered enough. If you have guessed it, Gratitude, and if you haven’t, No worries at all. It’s our beloved Mother.

Often we have not appreciated her presence enough. My mother is the rock to my weak heart, the listener to my rants, the pacifier to the emotional, the lover to my stupidity, the reality to my imagination and the support to my broken self. She has been there since my birth and will stay the same way to me till death makes us apart. I am an elder daughter, so I have seen her at her lows too, her pains too and her fears too. While they have always been there, she has let herself be a strong woman and has shown that it all does not affect her. She comes out as someone who is not afraid of all the wrongs with her. I wonder sometimes why she is this way, but she does answer well. All she says is that if she wouldn’t, things would fall apart and she can’t bear that.

But in all this, where did her piece get lost? She has always been gentle and a strong lady. Always standing by me in my different decisions and always cheering me on. I live in a hostel now. So talking to her everyday face to face is not a thing now. The phone conversations are good too, but I don’t speak about my frustrations because she would take tension that would be quite unnecessary.

And sometimes when I try to become the anchor to her ship, my mother dodges it quite well. She smiles on the other side or just gives a hearty laughter, loud enough for me to listen. How I wish I could capture it till the end of time for myself! How I wish I could have her all the things she has ever wished for! My mother is a lady of substance. She may be in dire consequences but she has never let it deter her spirits to do what she has to, what she wants to. I agree she has given her life to family and doesn’t take much account of herself, she has done it beautifully. The things that she has done till now get her a full score.

She is my inspiration. She is the role model. She is the one my heart beats for. She is the one I crave for. She is the one I care for. And she is always the one I look out for.

To my best friend. To my confidant. To my forever gossip buddy. And to the world’s best mom. I hope I am someday half as good as you. Reaching your level is quite a task, and I am just not that angelic, Mom.

Until next time!
