Happy Mother's Day and a Big Hug to you, Amma!

 

This tells how much I miss you, the absence of a friend who will be by your side on difficult days. 

On this Mother's Day, as I reflect on the incredible journey of your life, my heart swells with gratitude and admiration for the sacrifices you've made. In the tumultuous landscape of life, you were a beacon of strength, courage, and unwavering love.

You bore the world's weight on your shoulders, and when I say this, it is not exaggerated but the truth as in your absence; all of us are scrambling to find an ear, let alone a shoulder. You sacrificed your dreams and desires to ensure the well-being of everyone in our family.

Through the sleepless nights and endless worries, you never faltered but brought the most unfortunate to visit you soon, thus tearing us apart.

Your determination was unwavering right from the word go, as you nurtured me as a premature baby in the 1980s when the medical facility was a far fetch, with a tenderness that knew no bounds. Your tireless work, both within and outside our home, was a testament to your boundless love and unwavering dedication.

Today, as I celebrate you, I am reminded of the countless moments you put our needs above your own, selflessly giving all you had without expecting anything in return. You are the epitome of maternal strength, and your legacy of love and many living lessons will forever be etched in the depths of my soul. I will put my best foot forward to make you proud and fulfill the responsibilities that you asked me to. Thank you is a small word and sometimes does not reflect the complete intent; I am eternally grateful to the Creator and the Universe for being born as your daughter and for being able to take the values that you stood for forward and beyond. Amma, for everything you have been and done and continue to guide me - Happy Mother's Day.

Your light, so warm, so bright, Guiding us through both day and night. Your love, a river unending, Though you've left, its flow is never bending.

In the garden of memories, you'll continuously bloom, A cherished presence, dispelling gloom. Your smile echoes in our hearts, A melody that never departs.

Your touch, gentle as a breeze, Leaves an imprint that never ceases. In every dawn and every dusk's embrace, Your spirit lingers, a comforting grace.

Though tears may fall like gentle rain, Your love within us forever reigns. In every smile, in every tear, we cry, Your memory lives on, soaring high.

Though you're gone from our earthly sight, Your love shines on a guiding light. In the tapestry of our lives, you're a cherished thread, Forever woven in the paths we tread.

Here's to you, our beacon in the dark, Though you've journeyed beyond, your mark Remains indelible, your love never wanes, In our hearts forever, your presence remains.
