A newbie mother

To nurture life within you is quite amazing. But the fact is that what it takes to change so much for someone who will be your soul but not your shadow. When we are children we usually are carefree, depended and sometimes complaining to our parents for several things.

They say daughters are very close to their fathers. But in my case, things were quite different. Being the first child I had always been a mom's child. I never let my mother divert her attention from my side. Yet, I introduce myself as a strong independent girl, but in reality, every decision of my life always needed the guidance of my mother.  The relation was not always a cake walk and the generation gap also had its role to play. We had so many arguments, the difference in opinions and a lot more debating stuff. There were the times in my teen ages when our house witnessed the loud voices of mine saying, you will not understand me, mom, your thinking is old fashioned I should not discuss my problems with you etc. but, it took me a decade to understand why we had so much of differences in my teenage. The only thing which I still feel a must need for me is her never giving up support. Through these years somehow she managed to understand that it's alright for girls to go for outing have friends and live life to fullest. 

                        Time never remains the same. Today when I am penning down the memories of old me, a little daughter is sleeping calmly. I am a mother now, which means now I can understand what my mother faced those days. But my perk is my memories which give me a better reflection of the truth yet no matter how modern mom I believe I am, generation gap will always there. No matter how open-minded I will she will not listen to me wholly solely and in that case, the only thing that matters is my support to her and her belief in me. Now, I have a fair idea of what kind of emotions a mother hold to her child and why it's called the most sacred relation on earth. There is no replacement to the love and sacrifice of a mother the only thing is that we should always take time to celebrate and show our gratitude toward our mothers.
