Story: Happyyyyy b-day to you, happy bday to you, happy birthday dear mamma, happy bday to you! Clap clap clap. 👏👏👏🎂🍰🎉🎉🎉🎁
Its ma bday today, so I broke my rule and posting ma's pics to share the joy with you all. I made ma dress up and join my craziness going around looking for beauty to humbly picture amidst amazing backdrops. Ma's a true sport! At 46 degress Fahrenheit, extreme chilly wind, ma posed for pics because I love those moments. Such is love. Touchwood. Ma, the word means exactly that - forget self, love unconditional!
Growing up I figured out that I woulkd only marry a guy that loves his mom to moon and back. "If a guy can't love his mom, how can I trust that I would be ever loved truly?!" That was and still is my point of view. Most moms, including Amma, and others I have seen, met, interacted or even distantly known or read about have sacrificed their lives, their happiness, their future for the sake of children. If one is ungrateful and forgetful to overlook that divine emotion, there is no way the person could respect any other emotion. Period. 😱😱 I don't buy the logic of comparison between mom, wife etc. The guy doesn't have to choose between two pure forms of love, those are complimentary and never a competition. There is no role replacement with one other. Mom will always be mom and wife a wife! Once there is trust, confidence and all insecurities vanish, comes bliss, peace and simple for the family. The less we bring definitions of "-in-laws" into our lives the better off we are.
Life is short, universe is huge, vast. One billion trillion events happen every nano second and we choose to worry about insecure emotions.. really? Not worth it. Let our memories be the stars that twinkle subtly and not the meteors that rush to crush.
Shout out to Deb saab, for the first best marriage gift - Ma.
