Cheers to the Mothers !!

The 2 month old baby –  that was shielded by his mother who jumped off 5^th floor upon the outbreak of that super earthquake in Nepal – would have hardly realized the gravity of this matter.

A journalist was trying to interview that mother in grief. She had to get one of her legs amputated as it was severely damaged and had wounds that were fatal. Though she could not be interviewed, the journalist later described about her –  she used to live in a tall building. When the sudden quake struck, she saw her apartment swinging like a pendulum, and she was inside it. It took her few seconds to realize that it was an earthquake – a major one. She hurried to her baby sleeping in the cradle. Took him and ran towards the balcony to jump off, without ado. She knew she had no time to take the stairs, five floors down.

She tightly hugged her baby and jumped off, leaving the consequences in the hands of God. To a great surprise, she was still alive down there, with a crushed leg and broken back. But to a greater surprise, the baby was fine with a minor bruise – such was the shield of her arms.

This is the mother-child bond, stronger than the strongest of bonds. Just like that innocent infant, many of us ignore the fact that our mothers have borne innumerable pains just to see us smile. The purity of a mother’s love is undefined.

Thanks to the God for creating mothers, and to the USA – for bringing up the idea of mother’s day celebration. I wish a very happy mother’s day to all the mothers. Let’s celebrate it in our own best ways, whether or not our mothers are there with us! A mere convey of love and respect through words or through some other creative gesture may mean a lot to them! Let us not miss to make them feel special, on this special day!
