Seeing mom like never before… |
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.
Hi aseem …

Hi aseem! I’ve been a rss subscriber to your feeds. May be a silent reader. I deeply agree to your thoughts/words. I pray and wish that your mom gets well and back in action of motherhood asap. God bless. Amen!
Hope mom gets well soon. my wishes with you.
Hey Aseem,
Very well said dude!! All the 4 points you mentioned above are bang on target!! Yes, we do take for granted our most near-and-dear ones; and only when they are somehow unable to do what they have always been doing for us, then we realize how important it is for us, how important they are for us!
May be such occasional hiccups are nature’s ways of making us realize this!:-)
So don’t worry dude, I’m sure ur mom will be alright n fit-n-fine soon! Cheer up!! Plz extend my regards to her! And keep smiling! :-)
I can understand your feelings. Last year when my Mom fell sick I was very much upset.
I pray to God for your Mom’s recovery. May god bless her.
Dear aseem, hope ur mom is well and u r back in goa. wish her a quick recovery.
regards,
george
Nice observations. We need such doses of reality sometimes. “Things of real importance are invisible to the eye”
Wish your mum all the best fro a speedy recovery
You don’t notice these things in normal day to day life but when you do you wish you could have done so much different. But anyway … wishing your mom a speedy recovery. :)
Hope your mom gets well soon
Hi Aseem
Although have not read the whole blog as i am little busy but dear your first few lines have touched my emotions. You are absolutely true that mothers really occupy a special place in everyone’s life. I heartily pray for your mother’s well being.
Bye
Thanks a lot friends!!! Its only been for your wishes and prayers that my mom has recovered quite well now :). All last month had been a little tough time for us all… but all’s well that ends well!
Back in Goa now… back to our respective schedules… with a lot many things to bear in mind that life has taught us in such a short time…
Thanks again for all your wishes… God Bless!
