When was the last time your mother hugs you? When was the last time you see your mother smiling? When was the last time your mother asks or tells you something? Do you listen? Do you care or show concern? If your answer is yes, you are lucky enough.
God gave life to you. Your mother nourished that life for you. She carried you in her womb for several months. She could even smile after giving birth of a healthy baby. Sometimes, she never slept and felt anxious when you were crying if you had an illness.
As you grew older, your mother helped you to sit down, stand up and walk until you can do it by yourself. When you started to go to school, she taught you how to read, write and count things. She defended you and fought for your rights if somebody was doing wrong against you. She always provided things that you need. She advised and guided you all the time. She felt very happy and proud whenever you achieved something or received an award. She felt sorry for you when you failed to achieve your dreams.
When you became a matured person and had your own family, your mother was always there and never left you. She took good care of your children. She helped you in doing household chores. She felt very happy seeing her grandchildren playing, singing or dancing. Sometimes, she threw out jokes with them.
The time passed by and your mother was getting older. Her body and mind were already deteriorating. She often got sick. She could not sit down, stand up and walk by herself. Your mother could no longer do the things that she used to do for you and your family when she was young. She always felt the pains and sufferings due to her illness.
Did you feel sorry for her bad health condition? What immediate action that you did to prolong her life? Do you really love your mother? Do you really care? Do you let her go or not?
