I am a science teacher in a government school. My friend Sita is an arts teacher in our school. Unfortunately, my friend Sita lost her husband at an early age. She did not get much family support from her in-law's family and her own family.
Sita has one son Ramesh. Sita's son Ramesh is not a very #supportive child to his #mother. But Sita with her efforts and hard work and persued Ramesh to study hard.

Fortunately Ramesh got admission in good medical college.
It so happened, Sita at an early age got symptoms of #arthritis. Due to this disease, it is hard for her to manage school duties. With her strong willpower, she is managing her profession and home front very efficiently.
Ramesh is doing well in his college.He visits his mother Sita two times in one year.
But sometimes during hot #arguments with his mother unknowingly, Ramesh gets upset and says ” Mom you have done nothing for me. On top of that you are suffering from a disease like arthritis, and always complaining about #pain in joints.”
Sometimes Sita complains about Ramesh to me. I say "Dear Sita you have been so #protective of your child therefore, Ramesh has not seen the outside world that's why he does so immature talks with you.”
After clearing the 4th year of MBBS Ramesh became a mature person. Once I and Sita were sitting in our garden with a cup of tea. Ramesh came to us. He was so apologetic in his tone he said” Dear aunt I regret I have been so unfair to my mom.”He further said ”Dear aunt, I have read in my MBBS course that when a woman is pregnant, a cord is connected from the baby’s navel to the mother’s body. Through this cord baby receives his/her #nourishment. Sometimes the mother is not able to consume a balanced diet, in that case, the wise baby extracts essential #nutrients and minerals from the mother’s bones and joints to meet his/her needs. This process weakens the mother’s bones and joints, causing severe pain in mother joints in old age."
He further said "Yet, in this world, many children like me, often say so many unfair things to their mothers. What have you done for us? You haven’t done anything good for us. you believe in taking a rest. You pretend to have pain and discomfort—you are an expert in doing #drama.!”. But unfortunately, those children do not truly understand the pain and #suffering a mother endures."
Ramesh further said "Now when I am on steps of the ladder to become #physician, I do understand the pain my mother is suffering. I have no words to ask for apologies to my mother. I feel strong guilt in my heart."
Sita was very happy for Ramesh. I said ” Sita there is a big change in Ramesh's personality. Now he is a #gentleman and a good doctor."
Sita did not say a word about her son, but tears of joy were rolling down her cheeks.
Moral – Mother #sacrifices so much in her life to make her children go in the right direction.Therefore never think of fighting with mother.
