The best gift given to every one by God is Mom. She is called by so many names, mummy, aai, maa,aamaa. But as God gives us this gift he also takes it away. Why does he do that Some unfortunate ones get this gift for sometime and few Lucky ones enjoy it for long? I am that unfortunate one who lost it early.
My mom, a simple lady an angel left us 3 years back and still I remember her with every passing minute of the day. There is not a single day I don't remember her, all the memories are still so fresh in the heart as if its yesterday only.
They say that there is nobody perfect in the world, but when I remember my mom I feel it's wrong.
Born in a poor family she was the 5th child to her parents out of 8, from childhood itself her trouble started but being a strong lady she came out of all the odds, did small jobs and studied as her father was not able to pay the fees for school. somehow completed her studies got a job, then married to the love of her life, had children and was happy. But I think God had other plans he didn't like her being happy. At a very early age, she was diagnosed with heart disease. Then the trouble started. She went through 3 operations, 1 for fibroid and 2 open heart surgery. At this time I and my sisters were still small. We were not that mature to understand her condition. But still, in all her pain she managed to take care of us. Never in my life, I have seen such a perfect person. I just never understood from where did she get the courage to smile even though she suffered so much pain during her illness. She always taught us to be strong in our toughest time and smile at our problems with strong minds.
She was such a nice, kind-hearted and loved person that even the god got jealous and wanted to take his gift back for himself and he also tried many times but she fought bravely through her illness and on 8th May 2017 she quietly left us, tired and vary but peacefully. I will always regret that I was not with her when she breathed her last. Only 1 week before I came back home to Bangalore after being with her for 1 month. How I wish I would have waited for 1 more week so would have been with her till the end. I feel the most unfortunate one.
But now I pray that she rest in peace forever in the celestial sky, among the angles and keep watching over us. I love her and miss her by every passing minute of my life love you aai forever and ever.
