I asked my sister what it feels to be a mother and her lips started saying whatever it was in the deep oceans of her heart. Below is the short summary of what she said.
“Being a mother is an immense feeling. The whole perspective I had about the world changed. Before being a mother I was reckless and only took care about myself and my belongings. But after becoming a mother, the globe seems much brighter than I wanted to see. Though two years have passed but I still remember that day when lying in the bed in pain, I heeded the voice of a weeping newborn and asked my doctor inquiringly, what God has gifted me? She replied with an unfathomable smile, a daughter. That gorgeous face of my daughter was adorable and lovable. At that time the ambiance changed. The shining rays coming from the curtains hanging on the window greeted my daughter tenderly. The birds outside in the heavens chanted charming songs. Leaves rustled in every single way to welcome my daughter in this beautiful world. The flowers and roses blossomed. A different milieu was made. That crying sound of my little infant was the best song I had ever listened to. It was the happiest moment of life. I felt stronger and responsible. I understood that now a big responsibility had come upon my shoulders. Since then I have been trying in each and every pace of my motherliness to fulfill the responsibility that I have been given with. For the first time Fatima, my daughter became ill when she was six months old. She suffered from scabies. I lost my temper and cried a lot. At that time I realized that my mother was far stronger than me. She gave me the assurance that Fatima would be fine soon. During Fatima’s illness I didn’t sleep all the night. I used to give her all the medicines on time. That summer days with 40 degree Celsius were the appalling days of my life but made me stronger than I was. After few days of illness Fatima became fine and healthy. Now I take care of her in a bettered way. I know what food I should give to Fatima and ways to handle her problems. She is two years old now. All the time she is roaming, wearing her lightening shoes which give sounds as she walks. Always do naughty things and becoming demanding. I love her as the way she is. God bless her in future. Amen. “
