Is it possible to ever have an entire year pass full circle and cheapen the actual day when it arrives? Provided of course that she's not dead nor in vegetable state.Which day you ask? Mothers' special day. You go the extra mile simply for that loving soul that bore 9 heart-wrenching months just for your birth. Of course, threats do remain in the air for some, you know the motto: " I brought you in this world and I can take you out".
Ive heard many stories for most of my life on what persons have done and what would be ideal for this lady called 'mother' in people's lives. Ive done quite some endearing acts myself when I think of it...even used real lemons and flowers in the process one year because I watched "Next Door with Katie Brown" addictively during my alone period. What is the ideal gift anyways? Do we send "thank- you" gifts or cards? I think, for years, ive done that.
This year was certainly different but truth be told, as many "holidays" are to me; they hold no meaning and are therefore not important to me. This sounds heartless,perhaps I should stop writing. Okay, I think not,must express thoughts and heck, I am in a writing mode! Who knew what very little sleep could do?!*Sighs with an intoxicated smile*. This year,a mere card was given and suddenly I realise just why things have downgraded themselves in relation to Mother's day and my own mother.
The cause has hit me like an apple bolting its way down a tree( thankfully nothing hit me in real like they normally do), my 'flesh of my own flesh' was not home for the day but worked hard and talked a whole lot more at another venue that day with her husband. I am not angry but it seems that as the years go on, this day has all too well mellowed into a typical day and its global significance is lost or scattered.
My mother is not a typical mother. Ive grown to see much of her faults from a very tender age and 'turning the other cheek' was definitely a must with her. As much as I dread and my tongue puts up a fight to ever delve into admittance; I cannot place the ideal definition for a mother/ wife the Bible provides on her nor can I recite the infamous :"For my Mother,may I inherit half her Strength". However,she taught me one valuable thing that id never let go of and im in constant gratitude for this. Though my dad was there in many ways than one for me when she was unable to; here's my thank- you:)
In grace,
Kesara.
