Mom

Mummy is amazing. Where she gets the patience and kindness to handle all that comes her way baffles me. It has to be something inside of her because I lose it fairly quickly I feel.

With all that she is juggling (mostly alone) with family, work, and life humbles me. I am in awe. If I could be even half the woman she is inside and out would make me but more so everyone around me extremely lucky to have her.

As mother and child, I can be very moody and difficult, but she never fails to be a listening ear or a comforting hand. Even when its the most ridiculous thing ever!

Today, the way she took care of my little cousin Esha brought me to tears. I love love love my mommy. Esha has a hard time going to the bathroom - number two. She says it hurts but I think there are several factors that makes her hold it until it hurts. And then she still won't go! Mummy gently coaxed her and explained to her sweetly what she was feeling and how we were going to fix it. And then she worked her mommy magic while Esha cried.

Esha did feel better after awhile and thanked mummy for making her feel better. How she does things without flinching and at ease is incredible. I think I would have panicked! What to dooooo?! Would I have been so gentle? Or patient? I wouldn't have known what I was doing. But maybe now, having seen mummy do it, I too, will be ready when the time comes. I will always look up to my mom <3
