Mother's
Day is just a couple of days away. The other day, I found this anonymous
quotation online “A Mother holds her children’s hands for a short while, but
their hearts forever”. I thought I would start this blog post with this
wonderful writing! I'd also like to dedicate this blog to my beautiful Mother. Thank you for everything Amma! I Love you!
No
matter how old you are, where you come from, or what you are we all have
or had a mother. She is the only person who accepts you, no matter what
mistakes you make. When you become a mother you finally realize, what your
mother went through and realize that, bringing a new life into this world is
the most amazing and the most difficult thing in this world.
Sometimes
I think that, I am being so silly nowadays. I wish to share a tiny story of me
being a silly Mommy. My son absolutely obsessed with vehicle toys, especially Hot
wheels cars, Thomas Engine, Construction vehicles….His first car toy was a Hot
wheels Red Car and now he has more than 100 hot wheels and still he is excited when he gets
a new one. He used to call that Red car as VICA since he got it when he was just started
to talk. His Daddy bought that car for him. It was his absolute favorite toy.
But somehow VICA missed since few months and once in a while he was asking
me “Mama Can we look for VICA (still he calls that car VICA)”, and we both will
be looking everywhere for VICA, but we could not find it. I was also little sad
while he was asking about VICA. So I bought him almost same Hot wheels Red car,
but he was not fully happy with that even though he played with it. Few weeks back
while I was cleaning my kitchen I saw something underneath my cooking stove. It
was his VICA. I don’t know how much happy I was. When I showed it to my son I cannot
express his happiness and he told me to make a call to Daddy to tell that we
got back our VICA!! I guess, I am not alone being silly like this but I have
become THAT silly Mom and I enjoy it!!
Wishing
all of you and your Mother’s a very happy “MOTHER’S DAY”.
