"A mother isn't the person who births you;it's the person who rears you and shows you love."
-Raquel Cepeda
They say mother
and daughter share a special bond. So do me and my mother. But as in every
mother-daughter relation,even I and my mother exchange harsh words. There were
times I slept with my pillow wet with tears. She would scold me for the type of
friends I hang out with, for the very little time I spend at my study,the way I behave and sometimes about high grades I couldn't hit. We had
many difficult times. In fact, she says, being 20 I am challenging
her parenting skills. Though we start with a talk, we always end up with an argument.
Just a difference in opinions, but always. A few days back, I left a letter
addressing her;
Dear Mom,
Wonder, if this is the worst place,
Where you stay in your world, stitching
lace
I come to tell you things on wheels,
But you address me with shouts and yells
I started to act the way you want
By stepping into another shoe.
Even then things are getting complex,
I am afraid what would be next?
I know you don't show sympathy,
But
what's wrong with empathy?
Though at times I don't show a good fare,
I guess I could expect little love and
care..
For quite a long
time we remained silent.In fact a simple letter can't change everything.But starting a friendly talk my mom confirmed that she
cares a lot for me,what may come.With tears even I conveyed the same. After this our mother-daughter
disagreements haven't stopped. But it now holds a special bond, for I came to
know what may come in my life, my mother always stands by my side to love me and
care for me.The best thing we share in our bond is a few giggle and pure love for each other.
