Do you want to be like your mother?

I came across a quote which has inspired me to write this post. Before I share the quote I simply want to ask you, would you love to step into your mother’s shoe? Though I am expecting a mixed reaction from the readers, if I have to answer it first then I would firmly say ‘yes’. Well, it’s quite a big mission for me. A thought of spending days and nights without parents was a nightmare but God has His own way to make us learn. Now that when my parents are not in this world any more I have learnt to live my life without them but certainly they are very much present in my everyday thoughts. If I analyse my worth I find myself holding a negligible place in comparison to my mother. What a wonderful person she was! I am emphasizing on the fact that she was an extraordinary person and naturally it makes her a great mother by default. From my childhood I had witnessed her popularity, the respect she enjoyed was enormous, the love she showered was selfless and never knew to be biased, as an extremely patient person while anyone fell sick in a big joint family, a great cook and all these made her an extraordinary homemaker so my siblings and I felt blessed to have her as our mother. I aspire to be like my mother just like the quote: ‘I hear a lot of people say how they would hate to turn out like their mother. If I became half the woman my mom is I would be so grateful. I love you mom.’, but it’s next to impossible because my basic nature never allows me to ignore myself completely but my beloved mother had always put others before her. She was indeed a great soul!
