Ma

A lady who has insurmountable love and affection for her family especially her husband and children. Her life revolves around her kids and for most of the young children its A relationship that is taken for granted.

It's a relationship that goes as long as one's age. from the time of giving birth to us till we go to school and college she does everything for us including taking care of our belongings, bringing lunch boxes to our schools, speaking to teachers on our progress, signing on our report cards, giving us pocket money, fighting with dad's in favour of us, meeting our friends and entertaining them at our houses. the list goes on....But the irony is that after this stage we tend to take her for granted, we take decisions on our own and don't even inform her half of the things that is happening in our life... how sad can that get. But as a mother she is still interested in making sure that your life moves on to a right path. Then she wants you to get settled in life which means get married in life. Once you agree to it ... There starts a phase of huge arguments, difference of opinion and ideas in the process of getting married and once you finally get married this lady has limits to the joy that she receives in conducting the wedding........





This note is a ode to my Mother on her b'day to thank her for all that she has contributed in our life. Thank You Ma
