My mom...

The woman...the most loving,caring,intellectual,sweet and beautiful being on this planet!!!the respect and love i have for this "species" is so immense that it can't be measured!!and the credit for all this goes to my "very sweet mom"!!there's never a day when she seizes to amaze me.
she is the most intelligent person in our house,she is a "senior manager" in a bank and she is the homemaker too!!!she is a very sweet n loving mom,a very caring wife and a very responsible daughter-in-law.
but what made me write this blog consists of all these things and another special quality of hers which i have come to know recently..u see,my grandma..she is very old,maybe around 87 or so...actually,i m not very fond of my grandma,in fact i have no love for her in my heart,the reason for this is the torture and pain she has inflicted to my mom for all these yrs..she has never given my mom the love and respect she deserved..n now when she (my grandma) is so ill(she is suffering from some kind of brain shrinkage and she has gone into a very bad mental and physical state) wherein she needs someone to take care of her..guess who takes this job so selflessly,"my mom"!!!she puts food in my grandma's mouth with her own hands,she stays up every night with my grandma(my grandma sleeps the whole day when all of us r awake n busy in our jobs n when its our turn to take some rest ,she will wake up n keep shouting meaningless things everyday) and she also helps her go to the loo n stuff....
one fine day i went to my mom why the hell did she do all this when my grandma had been so bad to her for all these years and she very humbly replied "its her(my grandma's) old age n its my duty to help her,one day i m also gonna grow old"..i was so angry with my mom,i wanted her to avenge the bad things done to her,but instead she let it go n fulfilled her duty!!!if i were in mom's place,i could never have even imagined doing what she was doing..from that day on,the respect i have for my mom in my heart has increased exponentially...
from the day that i first understood what marriage and having kids is,i have always thought of having 2 baby girls instead of boys ,because of the greatness of woman..i just love my mom so much and i wish her to be happy so i always ask god only one thing and that is to give me the strength and power to do all the things whihc make my mom happy...
