Mother… Who is mother? What’s her meaning for us?
Actually I have my own picture about my mom, but I will begin to talk about mother in general perspective.
Mother… when her name mentioned, the face of the person who has nurtured us will instantly come to mind.
Mother may be one of the precious things we have in our life. She's the light in a family. She brings and creates happiness and always trying to inflame it when she sees her kids or people at home faltered.
Everything she did, even without she realising, has tutored us to learn about life.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” ― John Lennon
Yes, Mother is home. The first school for her children. The great tutor, the real example who understands each child one by one, who never stops devoting love and energy to the success of her family. Teaching the meaning of sincerity, through compassion.
She will be the first person who will always know what happened to us, without we even saying it. She’s everything for the children who is always there for them. The figure they will always be idolized.
Mother is a wonder woman. A hero, the lantern of life. Strong and tough human being that full of sincerity, a role model for her child, a loving woman who will do anything for them.
She’s an exemplary woman. Truly, her love is sincere, and mother’s love is infinite for all time. Can’t be expressed in a thousand words.
Yes, mother is able to be a strong person with a soft heart at the same time, like a tree with a strong trunk, shady leaves, and beautiful flowers.
Mother is a handle, a place to lean on, a reminder, and a home to all joys and sorrows.
Mother is someone who loves us the most in this world. Her sacrifice for us is truly extraordinary. No matter how big the sacrifices we make for her, it is nothing compared to the devotion she does for her children.
So great is the sacrifice of a mother in this earth, until her day is privileged. They have a day called “mother’s day”, the day where all mother get a lot of praise and reaped many sweet words.
Mother is a place for us to lean on when we are down in life. But, sometimes when we get happiness, we would forget to share it with our mom. Did we know? In fact, it is from a mother’s prayer that we are given the gift of happiness by God. Even in every religions, there re a said that the blessing of Allah depends on the blessing of the parents, especially the mother.
Mothers will do anything to see their children achieve success and success. Even to risk of her life. She lead, she supports her children to be successful person without expecting anything in return.
She may not enough be educated or well mannered like us, but she always have instinct of motherhood. She may have their own struggles, mental suffering that just be hidden just to make us feel safe, to not make us worry and burdened.
Mother is everything for her children...
So pure, so prestigeous we can say about the mother figure! But is it truly that they can always be pictured like those above? Of course not.
A mother may have mistakes. They may be too nice to not embarass their children, telling her kid’s weakness to others. She may a complainer the whole of her life.
There, she may have times where she can’t handle emotion to shout us lazy boy, stubborn girl. She may have own angers and wreaking them to us, victimize us.
She may be too strict with her own rules which often makes us feel insisted. She may trick us to pursue her lost dream to us and make we feel don't have any choices to only to follow her needs and feel obligated.
Sometimes she can be overly mad for irrational reason, even cursed her child rebellious for disobeying her order!
Should we place our mother above all? No!
But, she still deserves loves...
There re moments where we would not deify the mother figure and thinking will not love her anymore. But there re always times we will miss her and come to give and getting her hug. We don't have to justify and follow what she does, what she wants. But still, she's a wman who gave birth for us, risk her life for us. Amongst people who deserve honor is our mother.
We have to know, even though she is angry, she still cares and never loses his sincere love. Even though her presence, her appearance may sometimes changes to be extremely mad, we will still feel her love.
Whatever she is, a mother will still be a precious woman. A mother doesn’t have to be flawless to get our hat down for her.
