Mom , the best word in any language

Mom is a nice word in any language .You can hear of a bad bro , bad sis , bad friends , bad Sanjay or even a bad Dad but never of a bad Mom . Coming to think of it , just mention that word to anyone and the only thing that comes to anybody in a flash is good memories , unless they are an aberration to nature .

Like everybody , I too like everything about my mom, she is the single source of all the cocksureness and the confidence that I have in me now .She taught me a lot of things , the best of them is that it is not worth it to get worried and have a long face about anything in life .When you frown nobody frowns with you , when you smile atleast one person joins you in that smile.When I was growing up , she had to work all seven days a week to support me . Yes , all seven days .And she did that with a smile , never a frown .The number of days out of the seven that she did overtime just to get the money to buy me something was also very high .And believe me I am yet to see anybody go through so much trouble for somebody else .I got to meet her every sunday , as I was growing up with my Grandma in my aunt's place .I still remember my eagerness to meet her every week and happiness in every toffee and biscuit she bought for me .She had HUGE expectations about how I would become a great success story in life and how I would take care of her after I make it big .She was the reason why I am where I am today .She could have easily moved her attentions to another kid and let fate handle me .She dint , she stood with me in every good and bad thing that happened to me .The number of times she was on fast for my health is amazingly high .That is a tough act to follow .

After I got older and got myself into more trouble like all sons do , she still stood with me , like a rock .

I know that I have dissapointed her in many ways at many occasions , I know that it is not sufficient to say this , but , "I am sorry Mom "
