Dear Ma,
Everytime i got scared to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you came and stood there, half asleep but never complaining. I learnt that Moms do that....when i became a mom. You shouted and even hit me when cleaning the lice from my hair....i learnt it was concern, when i did the same to my daughter. Changing a tubelight, reparing a fuse, hanging up a picture, fixing things, stitching me a new outfit within 2 hours, you did all this and more without much ado. You were as scared of lizards as i was, yet you chased them away everytime i screamed....I learnt that Moms have to be strong for their children....from you.
I always used to sleep early, even before dinner was ready. Yet i never slept hungry....you made sure i had my fav dahi-chawal every night...my soul food:-) I learnt to cook watching you do it, i learnt to keep a great house being around you - I know that now.
Whenever i started to tell you my troubles, you spoke of something else. Unconsciously, whenever i am troubled, i just do something else...think of other things...and the trouble just becomes another matter to handle..a situation that would pass...the relativity dawned on me only now.
Dad was gone when i was 12...i hardly missed him. I'm 50 now...when you are gone....and i miss you so much. I argued with you the most, i fought with you the most, i disagreed with you the most, and I'll miss you the most. I've brought your plants home Ma....you make my garden prettier.
Be safe....and be around.
Love - Champa
