“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” ----Agatha Christie.
Here comes another amusing day to celebrate the most important person in our lives. Mother’s Day, the thought of which only brings so many emotions in our hearts. Warmth, love, joy, sacrifice – just to name a few. I think everyone knows and believes that there are no specific words or adjectives to describe our mothers and their roles in our lives. They are the reasons for our beings, the epitome of selfless love and sacrifice. And like me, most of you must agree that there is no special way or a day to celebrate motherhood. We love them every day, we miss them every day, we need them every day…. they are the source of our strength. The pure love heals our souls, and warms our heart.
Motherhood and womanhood, in my opinion, are the same. There is a motherly instinct in every woman, even if they don’t experience the feeling of a biological mother. There are innumerable such instances around us. Their love and sacrifice are no less than others. The caregivers, the teachers, the nurses, the doctors, people working in the child watch centers, and many, many more, who are continuously providing motherly love, care and services to respective people. There are pet mothers, foster mothers and several more. No matter which kind of mother you are, let’s celebrate this Mother’s Day with you all. Don’t you all think their services come under essential services in the current scenario?
Everything around us is completely different this year as this is a very challenging time for us all. This global crisis, the pandemic has not been seen for ages and will be reminisced for many more days in coming century. We already have seen so much in last 3-4 months, and it’s not even the half of the year. We are so scared, confused, more cautious nowadays, that almost make us forget the basic rules of life. At the same time, we are more aware of the surroundings, and the people around us. Even if our daily lives have become more stressful now, we should not forget to show our love, kindness, sympathy and empathy to people around us. These are all universal emotions, and not only confined within the motherly sentiments. Is it only me, or you all feel the same way?
We are thankful to all the frontline workers who are not able to see and even touch their children for days. My heart goes to those mothers who are facing continuous challenges in this situation. Those single mothers, who are the sole earners and lost their jobs, continuously struggle to provide food in front of their children. There are frontline workers and the first responders who have to depend on other caregiving mothers to look after their children. And how can we forget those mourning mothers who have lost their children in different circumstances. At the same time, there are so many kids who lost their mothers during this pandemic. No words, no emotions are enough to describe their pain and sacrifice. Let’s celebrate this Mother’s Day keeping all these mothers in our minds and express our love, warmth and gratitude with a lot of empathy.
I miss my mother, my mother-in-law every day, every moment. I miss being with them, I miss touching them, hugging them, I miss taking care of them, I miss everything connected with them. At the same time, I feel fortunate enough talking with them every other day, for the sake of technology. By the grace of God, they are keeping well and trying to putting up with the situations bravely. Their unconditional love inspires me every day to cope with the situation. Their love helps to heal my soul, even we are miles apart, they are always with me. I celebrate with them every day by sharing my thoughts, my problems, my confusions, my joy, my sorrow and my gratitude. Love and respect to my mom, my mom-in-law, and all the mother figures in my life.
Thank you to all the motherly figures in the world and my life, and a Happy Mother’s Day to you all!
