I might write about my motherhood experiences later (a lot to be written actually) but what drove me today to write my was my 3 year old reaction when I dropped her for her school today.
Someone has said; "Once a parent, always a parent". And it's completely true. I am still not in terms of being a mother sometimes and miss "me". But what happened today made me realise what all I can trade off for my lil one in my life.
It almost 3 weeks since she has started going to her new play school. And, today after 3 weeks, just after when I dropped her for her school and was in regular talks with her class teacher, she came running back. Running at full of her speed, like those dramatic entry or exit of Bollywood heroine when the love of her life tells her that he loves someone else. She came and hugged me tightly with her arms around my neck. I thought she got dropped somewhere and hurt herself. But you know what did she say?
She said: "Mumma mat jao. Mujhe apki bahut yaad ati hain. Main apke bina rah nahi sakti." and stated crying uncontrollably. I didn't know how to react to someone expressing her feeling in so plain words. I got tears in my eyes. I hugged her back and we cried for some time like that. Then I held myself and tried to explain her how important and necessary it is to go to school. Finally she reluctantly understood and went back.
Those few seconds were priceless and I realised what all I can sacrifice for those words. I realised how much I am loved.
Never felt more important than this. Not even when your dad proposed me. Thanks for making me feel special. Love you beta.
