It's a blessing to be a Mother and have a Mother, and no amount of words can be enough to express gratitude to the ultimate Mother nature for all the nurturing she does for us. There is no other love like her's, unconditional and unwavering.

As a child I always missed my mother being around, though she was there, we lived separately. There were conditions which were not in my control and I had to live that way. I cried many nights missing her and longing for her. When I became a Mother, there was only one thing on my mind and that was to try and be the best Mother for my child, no matter whatever the situation would be. I do not want to judge myself but yes, I can say that I have done a fairly good job and that shows in the way my son has grown up and the bond that I share with him being an adult. I do not wish to judge my Mother either, she was fighting her own battles too.

My mother is 80 years old and with god's grace she is in good health condition. Yesterday morning when I called her up to wish her Mother's Day, she was extremely happy, I could feel the spark in her eyes, like, that was all she needed. With children growing up and getting on to their own life path these are the very simple things that parents expect. I too do not wish for anything materialistic from my son, all I need is his time and attention and I am lucky to get that from my Son. My son is poor in expressing his love, he has his own ways, but that does not bother me, whichever way he uses it's fine for me, because in my heart I can feel that love from him.

This relationship is simple and yet the most profound joy of life. My mother at this stage sometimes behaves like a child and I behave like her mother; I have to be strict with her at times for certain things. She is very careless on her diet and I have to be on her back to eat. It makes me wonder, what is this relationship exactly about. When I will be that old, will it be the same, will my child become like my Mother. I have one Son and I have many nieces and nephews and they call me their second mother, so this relationship is just not about who gives you birth or who you give birth to. It is and expression of unconditional love, care, warmth and nurture that the Universe has created. Our Mother Earth is also doing exactly the same for all of us. No matter whatever we do, she still keeps taking care of us, she never gives up on us.

Of all the different relationships, I believe that this is one of the best and the purest that the Universe has created. No matter whatever we are, or whatever we do, but there will still be one person who will always be by our side and that will be our Mother.
