For everyone who feels extravagantly loved by a mother so dear, it feels really good to give your mother her flowers while she is still alive. Of course, father’s deserve all the love and gratitude too for the love and care they give (for those who are actually being or have been dads).
So, yes I did follow through on my plan to celebrate my mother’s birthday for the first time. Like I said, she celebrates other people but somehow we haven’t been celebrating hers. The journey home was not easy as my phone got stolen. I had to buy a new phone later and encounter unplanned expenditure. That was stressful. But I managed to go through the day without erupting from all the stress that was unrelated to the day.
What can I say ? It’s the smile on her face and the joy that she said she felt while she expressed gratitude for what to me was a simple gesture of reciprocation for all that she has freely given out of the abundance of her motherly love. She showered so many blessings on me, my heart is so full.
Mother dear.
