28th March 2008, the day when I felt I was left in the dark and my life turned upside down. My mother passed away suddenly suffering for a few minutes. Didnt know what was happening around and life was more tough as I started understanding about life and identifying the true well wishers of my life. Lots of sleepless nights and life was filled with tears most of the time.
But now that it is over 3 years since she left us, I want to keep my emotions aside and think what is that she has done to me after she bade "Good Bye" to me. People asked me lot of times - "Did Mom come to you in your dreams, is she talking to you". I feel she is with me even today and blessing me with so many things in life.
What has she gifted me in my life?
She has given me an oppotunity to learn the art of living.
She has blessed me with an opportunity to identifying and managing people around me
She has blessed me with an attitude to think and plan for future rather than being playful.
She has blessed me with a replacement (my lovable wife)
She has blessed me with an amazing career and wealth
She has given me the responsibility to take care of my father.
She has taught me the importance of relationship in life.
Last but not the least, she has taught me the meaning of living this life.
Thanks a lot Amma for giving me all the blessings but even now I feel you coul
d have stayed and taught me things rather than pushing me into the ocean and making me learn myself! I pray God that he must give all happiness, wealth, joy, health, excitement in your next avatar and forgive me for all the troubles I have given to you. You are still living and will continue to be with all of us! Miss you badly.
Your lovable friend and son.

ReplyDeleteto be honest, no one can take the place of a mother.
but then again, mothers never leave us. they are around, just in case. they guide us from above. they keep a watch over us. they just want to see if we have learnt all our lessons well and are putting them practice the way they taught us to do so.
for you it is one year. for me it is 22. i would like to think that i miss her. but i dont.
because she is very much around.
you are doing well enough to make her feel proud of you.
keep at it
take care
As rightly said No one can replace our Mother. I do remember those days when we used to meet her and the love and affection she will always have in her eyes. We are all with you and she would be there with you always in your heart and around you and in all the things you do.
ReplyDeleteTake Care. Take care of Appa.
Nandu - Your mother was one amazing woman.
ReplyDeleteI've known Mom/Dad for a long time...since my younger days, and I have to tell you...I've never seen her without a 'Smile'.
I was so upset to hear about her passing away...and shocked as well !
There is no replacement for Mother in our lives !
I am happy to see you all doing ok ...and filling the void left by Mom to the maximum possible.

Achal sir - I am now up and moving is because I got a warmth from the mother inside some people like you!
ReplyDeleteGuru & Ramesh Anna - you are right, she has been the relationship manager of our home!
Akila - I know you are equally emotional, as she has been around you since birth!
Thanks to everyone for touching support!
