The best MUM

Dear Mum.....

Life was so happy and colorful with U . U filled our days with so much love and it hurts me that I amn't able to reciprocate the same. This day of every year in particular I spend time recollecting the few sweet memories we shared.

I still remember the saturday afternoons when you used to wait eagerly at the door for me to return from school, the custards and cakes u prepared for me , the dresses u made for me , the long summer trips we enjoyed, the weekend movies and dinners we had together. They were all so fantastic. Our house was a Shangri-la with you.

Life has become very gloomy without you. When I say our days without you are dark , I mean it. Everything went miserable and out of order . Every saturday afternoon when I returned from school, I wished to see you at our door waiting for me, which I know, could no more happen. Every now and then I used to look into the kitchen and imagine you were standing there, cooking for us. Food has become insipid, as it lacks the taste of your love, Mum!!

The way you carried off your dignity with much politeness was amazing. You were a well-mannered and composed woman, applauded by all. I draw inspiration from the humble way you spent your life. When I hear people still reminding me of the great patience you always demonstrated , I feel proud of you mum. I take it to be the best compliment, when people say I depict you.

Whenever I see a lady with her daughter beside, I feel bad that I am left alone. Whenever my frenz start telling me about their mums, I become nostalgic thinking of you. When I hear someone speak to their mum, I regret that I cannot speak to you. When i feel lazy to take my food, I wish you were there to stuff it lovingly into my mouth. Whenever I go home, I wish you were with dad , having a conversation. Whenever I am in sorrow, I wish you were there to console me. Whenever I cry, I wish you were there to wipe my tears. When I take a wrong step, I wish you were there to guide me in proper direction. When I achieve something, I wish you were there to feel happy for my success. My heart sinks in pain when the thought strikes me, that I cannot speak to you and see you anymore all through my life.

Your memories complement every auspicious occasion for us. I still wonder how well organized and different my life would have been , had you been a part of it . Even today (after 13 long years), I still can't believe what happened this day 13 years back. Many a times when I went to sleep, I wished that was just a nightmare and hoped to see your lovely face when I woke up from my sleep. I wish time had a rewind button so that we can go back and get you. I strongly believe you are still with us , around us , continuously showering your blessings upon us.I dare say, its a rude act by The Almighty to part you from us, even before I could realise your importance and enjoy your love.The last words you uttered still echos in my ears. May your soul , in the heaven , rests in peace.

This is for you....

What is ocean without water ,

What is sun without its heat ,

What is flower without its fragrance ,

What is love without you .....

As a matter of fact , Mum........ you were really AWESOME!!!

In memory of the day you left us alone , I phrased all my feelings to show how much I miss you.

Your daughter
