Mothers’ Day: Say I Love You

. Saturday, May 9, 2009


Dimapur | May 9: Philosophers have talked at great length their great roles; poets have sung praises of their love and caring nature; sculptors have immortalized their beauty in their works. And still words often fail to describe the love and care of a mother: Mothers’ Day, the time for everyone to honor their mothers for their eternal love. Just say, ‘I love you.’
While Dimapur city teemed with shoppers, card-sellers did brisk business selling Mothers’ Day cards. Families everywhere, especially children, secretly went about trying to surprise their mothers with a special gift on the special occasion. Perhaps, a simple gift it may be, but meaningful for that special woman in the family called ‘Mom’. “We were just sitting together here (at home) just discussing and talking how fortunate that we are with our mother,” said a government employee in Dimapur, whose father expired a few years ago. “Even my nephew has made a handmade card and presented it to my mother…for him it is his granny but she is like his mom (for his mother is dead),” she added, while wishing not to be named.
“For a mother she suffers and still feel great till her last breath,” said a single mother of two residing in Duncan Basti whose husband has also expired. She maintained that right from the time she carried her babies and their birth, she felt “great”, and still feels happy to look after her children. Tomorrow, she would quietly spend the day with her 78-year old mother.
The president of the Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA), Khesheli Chishi said mothers hold a huge responsibility in the family. “Nobody can take the role of a mother, when it comes to children,” the NMA president said while making a wish that all Naga mothers would know their responsibilities as a homemaker and have fear of God in their hearts.
While traditionally, mothers have been seen to take the role of staying at home and take care of children; modern day Naga mothers have dared to come out of this traditionalist notion and have taken up more responsible roles in the society. Starting from responsible positions in the government, private offices or NGOs, women, or for that matter, mothers, have taken on the mantle of bringing about active change in the society, besides taking care of their families side by side with their husbands.
Despite all these roles which mothers have taken up, there can’t be a time when your mother is not there by your side in sickness, sorrow and happiness; she is the perfect person to share moments with and is someone who would never do anything bad for you. “I don’t have any other wish just that I have my mom there for me,” said journalist when queried to make a wish on Mothers’ Day.
Perhaps it might be just another ordinary day for many, but it is a day nonetheless to express ‘I love you’ to a person who has to be loved for simply being the person that she is- mother. So don’t lose that chance. link...
