These are the 4 most wonderful words one can declare to their mother,
not just on Mom’s Day, but every day of the year!
I cannot remember how many times I have said this, but I guess it is
not enough because I feel that phrase should be part of my “vocabulary” day-in
& day-out, morning, noon & night-time!
The only memories I have as a baby and a small kid would be the
thousands of photos you have kept all these years. All black & white, or
should I say, brown & white (?), immaculately kept in a box, but mostly in
those weathered-look albums that have been well preserved all these years!
That’s my mom! She really takes tons of photos and took good care of
them!
I sure did and continue to enjoy looking at my baby pictures. Those are
memorable treasures that money can’t buy! I can always brag that I was a cute
& adorable baby! Okay. We all are cute and adorable when we were babies and
that includes you!
Growing up, I can always say all of us were taken cared well with what
we’ve got. We were probably not sent to the best schools there is but we
managed to grow up and finished our degrees in due time. We became parents
ourselves and now, I am seeing, feeling and experiencing what a parent is
subjected to.
But I am certain, that being a mom is truly demanding, but rewarding.
Can one imagine what she does all day? Endless house hold chores, the unceasing
assignments, the everyday pocket money &” baon”, the uniforms, and so many
other important duties she does for her kids?
When we don’t feel well, when we are hurt, when we are sick, it is
always our mom that comes to the rescue. Who do we call when we are in need?
Mama! What is the first word do we say when something goes wrong? Mama!
My mom, who just turned 85 two weeks ago, is a very strong lady. She is
full of love and I am so lucky to have her as my mom! The very best in the
whole wide world!
Nonetheless, I would like to say that Mom will be mom, no matter what.
And that can never be taken away from them.
That goes to my wife, too who is a mom to my fantastic kids.
But I still would like to include in our list of other mamas, beautiful
people who “acted”, “perform” and “function” as a mom to us. Say, our
grandmothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, and even yayas who definitely had taken
care of us at one time or the other.
These wonderful people also deserved to be called “moms”, too because
they also took time to look after us. I believe what we are today is partly
because of the people around us. They have absolutely given us a part of their
lives. And we should be thankful for that.
Maybe all the “women” in the world should be given due recognition not
only today but all the days of their lives. And what can we do?
Actually, there’s so much. Pamper them with Love! Care! Tenderness! Spend
romantic moment with her and her alone. Give or treat her with what she like
and love.
And if we have more, we can give them more of course. Give her a
bouquet of flower, treat her to a candlelight dinner or be the “chef” for the
day, give her a luxury massage, delight her in beauty spa, possibilities are
endless.
And for those who have just enough, treat her well, with respect , as a
friend, as a partner and as a mother to your kids!
Happy Super Mother’s Day!!!!
