For you, Maa

So Mother's Day has gone past and we saw a ton of pictures and selfies with our mothers, but was it just one day that we should honor our the mother of the family and celebrate motherhood?

I was randomly scrolling down my Facebook news feed like I do all the time, and all I saw was how much we love our mothers. Yes I accept I also do the same thing almost on every occasion; father's day, friendships day, birthdays, but this raised an issue which we have been ignoring all our lives.

Is it just about the social media, that we have to post everything online just for the sake of posting it? Do we really mean what we say?

Well, I don't think a single post about my mom on mother's day would be enough and that's why I'm writing this.

We often tend to ignore the little things about our mothers; about the very person because of whom we came into existence. What's her favorite color, her favorite actor, her favorite food? We hardly know the things which we generally know about any of our friends. Some of us don't even know the smallest of the things about our mothers. 

I wake up, go to work, come back, sleep and on most of the weekends I go out with my friends. That is the life I'm living right now. And I've never realized or appreciated how easy she makes it for everybody in my family. From making meals to going to work, taking care of all the household chores at the same time; don't know what I would've done without her. She didn't even make me realise of how many hardships she had been through just to fulfil my wishes and demands as a kid, or how much harder she had to work just to send me to a nice public school, or how early she had to wake up just to make my favourite dish for me to take to office. 

I've never thanked her for any of it.

I've made her cry. And I know I won't be able to forgive myself for any of it.

I've disappointed her more often than not.

I've been angry at her in most of my teenage years. For bugging me all the time, for correcting me all the time.

In all those years I never realised that all she did was just for me. For my well being.

Mother, I am sorry.

I am sorry for all the things I did wrong.

For all the things that had hurt you in some way or the other.

And thank you; For all the things that you did and you'll do, without even letting me know.

If there was one thing I had to say to my mom it would be, "No matter how much we fight or argue, I love you forever and always."

Yes, that would be it. Because I think I don’t say it enough. Because I think I don't show it enough. Because no child can ever repay a mother regardless of whatever he does.

Surely I made this mother’s day super awesome for her but most importantly let's pledge to make every day a mother's day. Cause frankly we can't do shit without all our super moms.
