MOM

Dear Maa,

I wish a day was enough to appreciate mothers, but I feel elated that there is specifically a day that acknowledges your presence.

With each passing day, I miss you more and more. I vividly remember the day I left home, I was so excited to explore the world and achieve my goals that I almost forgot to thank you for everything you did for me.

Do you know maa, food at mess is tasteless and everytime I eat it, I get nostalgic thinking about your handmade food. Not even the best cook at a five star hotel could make the food taste as your magical hands did.

Do you know maa, I feel drowsy whenever I study at night in my single seater room? I still remember those sleepless nights you spend with me during my board exams serving me tea whenever I yawned. I do have friends here who are nocturnal, but I still haven't find a companion like you.

Do you know maa, I often wear the same T-shirt for 3 days at a stretch. It does stink, but now I realise how hard it is to wash clothes. No matter I use a deodorant or a perfume, but nothing smells like the fragrance your hands left on my clothes.

Do you know maa, I have myriad friends in this college and they do hug me, kiss me and pamper me whenever I am broken. No matter how hard they try, but nothing feels promising like the forehead kiss you gave me every night.

So, I take this day to say the unsaid. To thank you for all the selfless love and care you showered on me. To say sorry for shouting at you and blaming you whenever anything unfavourable happened. I take this day to say, I love you and I miss you even more with each passing day.

From a kid who lives away from home.

Mother, Daughter, Love, Sunset, Mar, Ocean
