MOTHER, she is someone who bore us for ten months and worked tirelessly to raise us up, worked hard day and night, and fulfilled all our needs with her own hands without even thinking about her. From the moment a child is conceived until her child becomes an adult and after that also, mothers sacrifice their lives for the child’s betterment, never expecting reciprocation.
Basically, after getting used to a busy lifestyle, modern society neglects their duties and responsibilities towards their mothers. Many mothers have to stay in Elders’ homes when they get old and helpless or live a tiring life taking care of their grandchildren. It is clear from what we hear and see nowadays that mothers are in a very low position in the family. No one in this world does the hard work that parents do by bringing us into this world and perfecting us physically and teaching us how to live in this society. The truth is that no one else in this world can take care of a child as lovingly as a parent. It is this greatest affection that turns a mother’s blood into milk.
Although mothers do not expect any gratitude, we as their children must take care of our mothers throughout their lives without leaving them alone during difficult times. Being a successful person in society is the most valuable gift that we can give to our mothers. They have spent their entire lives hoping to see our success with their own eyes.
By feeding them, making them feel safe, and expressing love for them, we can make our mother’s world heaven. The love of their children is more precious to them than everything else. Spending life with children even after when they become grown-ups indeed brings back beautiful memories of the past. It is also important to strengthen our mothers financially by not allowing them to beg for money or other obligations from anyone.
There is no need to wait until mother needs our help. From this day onwards we can show our mothers how much we care about them. It is always best to communicate with them.
It is a universal issue that many of us have less-than-perfect relationships with our mothers in our younger stage, especially when it comes to communication. Improving the way we communicate with our mother is a good way to show her that we care and want to make the best of the time that we share together. We can listen to our mother and what she has to say and acknowledge her contributions to the conversation. Letting our mothers be who they are is also a good way to encourage mothers, especially when they grow old.
When listening to our mothers, we can try to see things from her perspective. Mothers have tough jobs and are not always equipped to do them well. and also, by ensuring our mothers know we care by showing them respect and constantly appreciating them, their souls can rise to a better level. That was how they brought us up, making us proud of ourselves all the time. So why not pay her back?
Let us make sure to colour mother’s life with happiness as much as we can while she is alive rather than crying for her after her chair is empty.
