Seeing mom like never before… Aseem N wrote this at 8:33 am • Filed under I, Me and Myself •

I have seen her complain to me, shout at me, work all day round for us all… but certainly never like this before. Past 2 weeks were a little rough time for my family and hopefully only getting better from here. Mom wasn’t well and had to be admitted to the hospital. She still lies there on the bed with so much to do in her mind which her body cannot complement to… You probably won’t realize it until you are one of those people as my mom who would do everything under the sun for the family all day round, never complain of and suddenly be reduced to a complete compulsory bed rest. Very certainly there is one example at your home too. Yes you got it right… all Moms are so. You can’t help them change their attitude or maybe you just don’t push it further until you see her where I am seeing as of now.

I hvnt been to hospitals for long ever. Probably after my birth this is my longest visit :p. Though altogether its been a good learning curve. Things I have seen around and those I have felt within, also a few much needed realisations… maybe some which I can jot down here.

• Money is of such miniscule importance or just no importance against your family member’s wellbeing (I never disagreed to), but now feeling it all around me. You do not want to think of saving money for your future plans, you do not want to think of earning money for now… nothing… the first thing on your mind is to see your loved ones all doing good. And all those useless things you ever spent money on might just hit you back to leave you whishing that you never had done so.
• Maturity comes with experiences and not age. With such experiences you will certainly see yourself grow ahead of time. You see life more seriously than ever before. Just what I have been feeling within in the past two weeks.
• You can’t take care of the ones ill if you don’t take care of yourself first. You just don’t need to panic. If there are more family members around you for help, share the responsibilities. Take it cool. Speak to your closest friends… When you hear them say that everything is going to be fine, believe me it weighs much more than even what the doctors can assure you of. And if you can find an evening free for yourself, catch up with friends. Nothing else can make you feel better.
• Its only at such times that you realise of how much your family does for you, how much you owe to them, you were maybe unaware of or indifferent to all this while. But better late than never…

Leaving for Pune today, for Mom’s further treatment. Have a huge to do list to follow once everything is in place like it was a few days before… Hopefully I should be back to regular blogging too then.
