I learnt firsthand today that a mother is the truest friend we have,
when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of
prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when
trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her
kind guidance and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace
to return to our hearts.
No matter how much we argue at times, I know no one can ever
take my mother’s place in my heart. She has always told me to do the right
thing. My greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. Forever
ready with the best advice and wisest of lessons. She has taught me so much.
Interestingly, today happens to be her birthday, so
ofcourse, my post is dedicated to her (and all mothers out there).
I was in tears all night lastnight because yet again I was
handed a colossal dose of betrayal. Its so true what they say, “Fake friends
are like autumn leaves, found everywhere.”
But one tight hug from Mum this morning along with the
prayers she blessed me with, made it all easier to handle.
Everybody knows that a good mother gives her children a
feeling of trust and stability. She is their earth. She is the one they can
count on for the things that matter most of all. She is their food and their
bed and the extra blanket when it grows cold in the night; she is their warmth
and their health and their shelter; she is the one they want to be near when
they cry. She is the only person in the whole world in a whole lifetime who can
be these things to her children. There is no substitute for her. Yes, a mother
is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.
You are the world to me, Mum. Happy Birthday. I love
you.
