| Me wid my Mom (2070, Jomsom) |
Mother, a single word, carries the whole world. Mother is synonymous to unconditional love. There is a popular saying, “God cannot be everywhere; so he created mother”. True indeed! Mother is a form of God, who just knows giving, loving and caring. A mother shows us this beautiful world and gives us our existence. She not only keeps us inside her womb for nine months suffering pains, difficulties and troubles, but also gives immense love for living a meaningful life.
She is the one who teaches us to take the first step in life and again shows the right direction in every step. She is the first home, the first friend and the first teacher. She is the first school and the first love as well. She stands with her child always. Either encouraging in success or wiping away tears in failures, mother never leaves her child alone. She shares both triumph and tears of her child.
She embraces every role she plays with full effort and commitment. She is not only recognized for gift of nature called fertility or production. She stands for beauty. She stands for patience. She stands for strength. She stands for intelligence. She stands for affection. She stands for compassion. She stands for grace. She stands for determination. She stands for warmth. She cares, she loves, she supports, she encourages, she motivates and above all, she spreads happiness in family, society and around. She exists, so the world has been more beautiful.
Rameshwor Bashyal, 45, Deputy General Manager of Siddhartha Bank, has not attended any corporate parties or social gatherings for last few months. He neither visits restaurants in the evenings nor enjoys outer foods or drinks. He has completely changed his lifestyle, just in respect for his late mother. He feels incomplete after losing his mother few months ago.
He feels very sad to face the reality that his mother is no more in this world. He had never imagined that he would have such difficulty in facing the natural rule of death. He realizes that nothing or nobody in this earth can be valuable as compared to a mother. He says neither a mother’s place can be replaced by anyone, nor her selfless love be measured. He adds he would be ready to sacrifice his lifestyle, habits or anything for the sake of his mother.
Santosh Ojha, a youth development activist, lost his mother young. Since then, he feels his life is empty. There are lots of other kinds of happiness; he is doing well in life, continuing his studies, achieving his aim but as he has lost his mother, he feels incomplete. He feels lonely. He feels sad. He says life would have been different if there was a presence of mother. He misses his mother every single day. And more to it, he misses her on the day of Maghe Sankranti when everybody gets busy in celebration with family, and he needs to perform religious rituals, as she passed away on the same day.
Hundreds of poems are written, songs are sung, and movies are made in the love and memory of mother.
A mother appreciates and respects the value and worth of every tiny thing. She sets great goals and desires. She knows what exactly she wants. She is determined, driven and firm to accomplish her goals. She has knowledge, intuition and ambition. She stands high even in low situations. She manages complexities smoothly even if they are huge. She is an optimist; she sees possibilities even in darkness. She is innovative even in small tiny stuffs. She’s straightforward and respectful.
Moreover, modern mother is multi-talented. She is an all rounder. She handles both family and children and her profession in a balanced manner. She is a perfect cook. She is a perfect caregiver for her children. She is a loving and caring wife. At the same time, she is a responsible employee. She is accountable to her duties. She makes firm decisions in her working area. She appreciates her abilities. She stays bold and strong in every situation. She embraces her femininity and is proud to be a mother.
There are many examples in our society where people make the life of their mother’s hell-like when she is alive and show love and gratitude after her death. What is the value of such fake love, such selfishness and hatred for mother who brings you to this beautiful world? It’s disheartening to see lots of modern children mistreating or hating their mothers, creating problems or giving tortures and leaving her in orphanage in old age, leading to a miserable life.
Mothers deserve the best; she deserves same love as she offers to her children. She deserves respect and happiness. She deserves to live a beautiful life till her last breath. There are not enough words to describe the value of a mother.
Don’t recall your mother’s value only after her death but adore her while she is alive. Love her. Cherish her. Respect her. Thank her. Though saying “Thank you” is just not enough to mother in anyway, mean it from your heart. Say her every day, “I love you mummy!”
