We all hear that a mother is the most valuable person in everybody’s life, which we cannot explain much in words. For me, my mother is a SUPERWOMAN! She is the kindest and caring person in the world. “Your love is as strong as a force field that protects the earth from evil and things that can harm me.” She has brought us up and taken care of our every need. Her food tastes perfect, and whenever we enter our home, we can smell her delicious food. We are five siblings, and we all are so thankful to her for raising us so beautifully. Today, whatever we are is due to her sacrifices, love, and prayers.
Ever since my birth, I’ve been very close to her. I’ve seen her laughing, crying, and struggling for us. She is the most influential person. My parents used to live away from our native city residence, and we were all brought up there. But then, one day, my father came from the office and seemed very upset. He told my mother that he had some financial problems and that my elder siblings needed to opt for colleges that were too expensive in that area. Initially, my mother didn’t absorb the idea. But she sacrificed everything and her lifestyle and thought of taking us back to our native residence where my grandparents also used to live. This was the hardest decision she had to take because she had to take us there alone. When we returned to our native residence and entered the house, we got so upset to see the house. The house was closed for many years, full of dust and broken furniture. But my mother made it fun for us to clean the house. We sang, played with water, and enjoyed while cleaning up the house. Within two days, we managed to clean our house.
One day I heard her talking on the phone and crying. It was my father. He told her that he had had some financial crisis, so my mother had to save money and take care of the expenses. She was so worried about how she would manage this alone, and she couldn’t compromise on our matter. She hung up the phone call and started praying. I went to her and wiped her tears off. As I touched her, I felt that she had a fever. I hurriedly called my elder siblings and told them that she was very sick. We called the doctor and took care of her. She was all right in the morning, just for us.
My mother’s duties were doubled. She was alone to care for all our matters and manage the household. She was entirely dependent on my father previously. She used to get up early in the morning, offer her prayers, prepare our breakfasts and lunch boxes, wake all of us, and then we all used to go to our schools and colleges. She used to be alone at home and did all the house chores before we returned to the house. Gradually, I’ve seen her become confident, independent, and secure; she had to because of us.
Throughout, she faced many problems and never told us anything because she only dreamt of her children being the best and having the best. She became dominant and robust with so many experiences she had. “My mother, you’re as brave as a guy going into the military and taking a bullet for his bud.” She always teaches us to be healthy, confident, and kind to others. I remember it was a day when some of our neighbors came to our home. My mother was excited and happy to see that someone had come to visit our house. But suddenly, those ladies started asking questions and taunting my mother as she was all alone to manage the home. She didn’t speak a word in front of them and just let them go. She believes in karma, and whoever does poorly to anyone will pay for it somehow, and she has taught us the same.

My mother is the one with whom we can share everything. She’s always been a best friend to all of us. She always knows what we want and like. I can still take my problems to her, and she always listens. I explain myself daily to her because she understands and looks at me. My mornings can’t be good if I open my eyes and she isn’t around me. One day, I woke up and didn’t see my Mom by my side. I got hurried and got up to search the whole house. I checked her in the washroom, kitchen, and every room, but she wasn’t there. I went outside to see her in the garden. I saw her reading a book. I hugged her and told her not to leave my side ever. I may have troubled her a lot at times, but I love her the most and can’t be without her because she’s my SUPER MOM!
