Its Mother's Day...so let us all celebrate motherhood and the positive contributions of mothers to society. It is a result of a campaign by Anne Marie Jarvis who, following the death of her mother on May 9, 1905, devoted her life to establishing Mother's Day as a national, and later an international holiday.I'm miles away from my mom now and I know she's traveling to a different city today ( back home) but through this blog Ma ( as I call her) I want to let you know that I Love you and miss you lots....specially when you came to visit me last year and after staying with me for 4 months and when you were gone there was vacuum all over, as if a part of me is gone...I couldn't go to the basement for one whole week..the moment I would go there "tears" would roll down my eyes....your presence was felt everywhere....tried everything to compensate and console but nothing conquered....emptiness killed me! You have such a humanizing effect....
I know you took immense care of me when I was born and being a below weight baby required utmost care...she wrapped me in cotton for one whole year and nobody was allowed to touch me except ma and dad due to the possibility that I may not grow...your arms are more comforting than anyone else's...the tie is so pure and immaculate...the relationship is so paradoxical..Patience is something that I should learn from you, still remember those days when I used to play hide n seek and you used to feed me simultaneously....and your heart is such a deep abyss where I can always find forgiveness...an archetypal selfless mother sheltering us from consequences of our actions....your love has endured through all....strong, guiding and unselfish...."a pivot on which the whole family spins"...You are a wonderful, rare woman, strong and steadfast and there's no substitute for you! True "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." Washington Irving.
Love you Ma and hope you can feel my written word!
While this was for my mom......below is what my daughter wrote for me:-
A Cup of Tea for Mommy And Me!
Here is a little teacup With some words to say ( Pretty, Care, Helpful, Love, Nice)

Risha
This is what I have to say to my two little angels:-
"Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of life."
