I Miss You Mum!

Mothers are special people in our lives and families, aren’t they?

I think certain bonds are very strong and cannot be broken, and the bond of a child and a mother is one of them. The more love and care given to your children – the healthier and happier they will be later in life.

Parental love, especially motherly love, is a great source of better emotional stability, that reduces the chances of psychological disorders and boosts self-esteem. Which improves the health of a child.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I miss my mother more than ever and I know that just as my mother was special to me, your mother would be special to you. No one can ever take the place of a mother.

A mother’s love which is truly unconditional, her support that always remains with us – along with her forgiving nature makes her a very important person in our lives.

Every one of us feels that our mothers are special to us and there could be many reasons for the way we feel. There are no words that can express a mother’s love, though I will try sharing a few things that made my mum so special.

Here are just 3 reasons why.

1- Makes the most unique bond

There are some bonds in life that are irreplaceable – just like a mother-child bond. That strong bond is what often makes the mother feel the pain when her child falls and gets hurt, or spends sleepless nights comforting her child. There is always a strong bond between the child and mother, which cannot be seen but is felt by both.

2- An ardent encourager, appreciator, and protector

Mothers are so special I think because they joyfully encourage and appreciate anything and everything their child does. I guess they are just so full of pride for the little achievements of their children, and can never stop talking or portraying their love for them. Fathers are no less too, and often times it’s both, the mother and father who take pride and encourage their children to face the challenges and hardships and move ahead in life. Most mothers are great protectors of their young, whether in the family of human beings or the family of the animal kingdom. Mothers instinctively know when something good or bad happens with their children.

3- Works round the clock

Mothers are so special because they work round the clock without any complaints to keep you happy. They curb their desires to fulfil yours and do everything for their family and children. Even if your mother is a working mum, she still manages the job, her house, and does all your work without you having to say anything. I think it’s a mother’s love that easily gives in to your difficulties and challenges because she knows you and your personality so well.

There’s a lot to say and be thankful for, but how do you thank the very person who brought you into this world? How do you thank someone for feeling hurt each time you fall, for sleepless nights, for sacrifices and compromises made, and for a lifetime of worry? Maybe just say the words “thank you mum” whilst you can.

I miss you mum.
