I am science teacher in government school. My friend Sita is arts teacher in our school. Unfortunately my friend Sita lost her husband at an early age.She did not get much family support from from her in laws family and her own family. Sita has one son Ramesh. Ramesh was also not very supportive child to his #mother. But Sita with her own efforts and hard work saw to it Ramesh gets admission in good medical college.
Sita at an early age got symptoms of aretheritus.It was hard for her to manage school duties but with ger strong will power she was managing same.Ramesh used to visit his mother Sita twice a year.But sometimes during hot arguments with his mother unknowingly s
he will say ” mom you had done #nothing for me.On top of that you are suffering with disease like artheritus, and complaining about #pain in joints.”.
Some times Sita would
complain about Ramesh to me. I said” Dear Sita you have been so #protective of your child therefore, Ramesh has not seen outside world thats why he does so immature talks with you.”
After clearing 4th year of MBBS Ramesh became matured person. Once myself and Sita were sitting in our garden with 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 cord baby receives his/her #nourishment. Sometimes 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 #old age.
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; you believed in taking rest. You pretend to have pain and discomfort—you are expert in doing #drama.!” But those children do not truly understands the pain and #suffering a mother endures.
Now when I am in steps of 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 Ramesh is gentelman and good d,octor now. “
Sita did not say a word about her son, but tears of joy were rolling down her cheeks.
Moral – Never be in fighting mood with your mother. She #sacrifices so much in her life to make her children go in right direction.s
