Dear mummy,
I write this to you because I want to tell you what I feel for you.
Last night, I remembered you a lot. It was indeed not a good day and after all the bad experiences which I had yesterday I cried calling out your name just like a baby. Its been 26 years since I am related to you and in all these years no one has and no one will love me like you have.
From the time when I was small I remember you making me sit on your lap and saying "good good girl" to me. There had been not even a moment when you became angry with me or shouted at me though at times I proved myself not to be a good girl.
I remember you teaching me multiplication in amma's room for a stretch of two hours(how dumb i was)and you realized your victory when I scored full marks the next day in my maths test. History book was a story book where you recited the glory of mughal kings and other rulers.
My projects, my art work, I depended on you for everything. There was not even a single day when I didn't find you at home after returning from the school. You were always there for me. You know exactly what I like to eat, wear, and each and everything about me.
And sometimes you have shown so much trust on me that I was proud of being such a good daughter.
In our difficult times you changed yourself from being a simple sweet homemaker to a lady who can walk with the world. From telephone bills to bank accounts you learned everything so that we can concentrate on our studies. From any thing to everything I told you, there was never a question mark on your face. And with your trust and confidence only, I am a person who is quite confident about herself in whatever she does.
Whenever I close my eyes I see you as a simple and a smiling mom of mine with a beautiful heart.
At times, when I saw people doing injustice to you and voiced out for the same you calmed me down teaching that God is watching everyone and he who does the wrong will get what he deserves.And till today I have a belief in this thing and it has really helped me in my day to day life.
I really don't know about the future and I feel insecure quite a time but with you near me I feel peace within me.
But I would like to say one thing you are just one and no body can take your place and from yesterdays experience I have realised that every mother loves only her baby. So nobody else will love me like you do but then why do you love everyone? I have never seen you being selfish. Be it my cousins, neighbours' children or anyone else why you care for everyone when nobody other than you loves me in the same way?
May be this only speaks about your greatness. And I am very proud to have you as my mother. I love you a lot.
From
Your Gudia.
