-My Amma-

Being a mother myself I really admire my "Amma" who was and still my pillar of support.

I remember Amma telling me I was the easiest to be given birth where there were no pain, no cry and no drama.

However,thats the end of it.
I have always been the hard daughter to manage. Love hiding my homeworks... doing badly in exams and always telling stories to hide the truth. Then mixing with the wrong company during my teenage moments and having fights causing sleepless nights to Amma.

And still that was not the end of it.
I married the wrong guy.
Pregnancy was supposed to be the happiest news for a woman but in my case I met the wrong man and had severe morning sickness known as "hyperemesis gravidarum".

Lost 12 kgs.
Admitted many times in hospital due to dehydration.
And during this time, only my Amma was beside me.
Because I cant walk she had to push me in the wheelchair and stayed besides me in the hosp many days without shower.

After their children is married off, many parents will start planning their journey to enjoy their life to the fullest for the balance of years they have.

However, my Amma is extraordinary for me. She sacrified her time and life for us siblings especially me.

I broke her heart with my broken marriage and became a single mum with 2 kids.
When I resigned the job I love, she feared my future.

All I did since my birth is making her worry which breaks my heart.
I hope very soon I can give her joy and security that all will be fine.
I want her to know her grandchildren will be taken care off.
I want her to be happy and take her for her India trip.

I want Amma to know I love her and I will be fine.
Love you Amma.
Happy mothers day Amma.
