Mom's birthday

My mom turned 55 today...wished her in the morning & mind raced back in time....

Reflecting on my relationship with her....

Had my most no of fights with her during my formative years as a kid and as a teenager.
Never seemed to agree on anything....right from our choice of clothes to our perspective towards life everything seemed different. At times, her behaviour embarassed me, irritated me and i used to even consider her as very naive.

But there is one thing that i'm and have always been sure of is her unconditional love - which made her go out of her way to ensure that i do well & get the best of everything in life.

She wept as if her tears wouldn't stop when i migrated to a different town to join my husband after marriage. Today when i live miles away from her - my sheer voice over the phone makes her day.My mom taught me the meaning of selfless & unconditional love which i feel for my daughter today who is 2.5 months old.

One thing that i have started realising offlate is that i'm becoming more & more like her with time. Right from my appearance, to my behaviour , mannerism, perspective - i resemble her in more ways than i could have ever imagined. I'm sure that she has always seen herself in me as i have started seeing myself in my daughter.

Love u so much mom , i'm what i'm today just bcoz of you, you are irreplacable, blessed to have you in my life, can't ask God for anything more....Happy Birthday...God bless you..
