MOMS MAGIC

December 31 2009 midnight I asked my husband to take me to the beach to watch the Lunar eclipse.He said that was too late and only drunkards would be roaming around.My dear husband had to give in to my birthday wish.He would have prayed silently that I should fall asleep.Having decided on something I never give up.It was really a lovely night.The whiff cold air, the silence of the world against the dashing of waves,awaiting the arrival of the new year.It is my dream to walk in the waves at midnight.Even though I did not walk ,I had the privilege of standing on the bridge,watching this beautiful scene.It was better than staying at home.The year end always bring me sorrowful memories of my darling mom and every new year blooms with the same thoughts.Not that I forget my mother the other days,its this day the 31 st of December that took away my mother from me six years ago. Whenever I think of her,its only her smile,her soft talk and kind eyes that fill my eyes.It makes me, wish to see her yet once just a minute,if only I had that power.She had taught me a lot of things about life.Whatever be the problem,even after becoming a mother myself ,I used to call her and she had a beautiful solution, a word that always brought peace and courage into me.I really miss her whenever I am confronted with some problem.Now I sit in front of her photo and cry my mind out and get up refreshed.I still wonder how but it really calms me.She always was sweet and smiling and kind ,whatever be her troubles.However hard I try,I can never be her way.She was a striking contrast to my dad who was very strict and short tempered.When she had to stay away from me when I was a kid I remember her telling me that whenever I felt like seeing her,I just have to wait till night and look at the moon,she would be smiling there.I believed it then but now,after so many years,when I was watching the deep blue waves,I heard her words and without much thought,I lifted my eyes from the waves towards the moon spontaneously.There she was smiling ,wishing me on my 45 Th birthday.That's moms magic,whatever be your maturity ,whatever be your age you just believe a Mothers word ...its the profound love that flows ,that keeps watching us and keeps our life running.It can make anything happen.
