A mother’s love for her child
A mother’s love
I was in a shopping complex today to buy school uniforms and school shoes. I dropped Miss Calm and Collected to pay a parking bill while I went to look for a parking space. She looked for us afterwards. I shouted to attract her attention but she didn’t seem to hear. The minute “Mummy,†sounded, she immediately looked over and her face lit up.
Benghui has this power over her which I don’t have. She will love and treasure him to the end of her days even if he one day becomes a lawyer, a crook or a conmen.
My post is to ask a question : how well do we take care of our mothers? Do we think they are a nag? Always bossing us around? An embarrassment? Jealous of the love we give to others? Do we take them for granted? A hindrance to our freedom ? A good shoulder to cry on? A convenient baby sitter? Unpaid maid?
Tonight, after dinner let us look at our mothers…really look and not just a superficial look. What kind of life have they had? Remember once they were young and full of expectations just like us. Once, if we had told them one day they would have wrinkles..they would smile but not realize the inevitable.
What can you do to make her life better…..to show your appreciation for her love, her nurture and her care…
Please let us not take our mums for granted. Never forget : no one in this world past, present or future will have a love that surpasses our mothers’ love for us.
You won’t believe this, I read this post and cried because tonight that is exactly what my son said of me and my husband. That we are nags, busybodies.
We also think he takes us for granted, we are his bankers and drivers but at this moment, he can’t see that.
I know I too have given my parents hell but nothing like this. I pray that the day will come when my son will appreciate us. Maybe!
the day will come..the day will come..it comes automatically as one grows more matured and
older
