Ma - I am proud of you!

I am planning to take my mom along for the next scan. She is also eager to see the baby. I wish I can be a good mother just like my mom. My parents got divorced when I was 3 yrs old.. and since then my mom has been everything to me. I have never felt any void or missed my dad in my life. I am very proud to be her daughter and I know she will be a wonderful grandmother too. I know how difficult it has been for her to bring me up all by herself. She is an advocate by profession. I remember my mom used to take me along with her to courts when I dint have school. I would sit and watch her work in her office.. Sometimes in the court. I never understood what was happening and would keep pestering my mom to take me home. Its only now that I realize how difficult it would have been for her to manage her work and also look after me without the support of anyone. My grandparents also passed away when I was 3 yrs old. She had to bring me up all by herself. We used to live in a small rented house and we were content with our lives. We would sleep early by 8 or 9 PM. Back then there was no TV or anything. We would eat together.. my mom would feed me most of the times.. She does that even now (sometimes) and we used to sleep together in our single bedroom house. We miss those days now actually. On weekends, I and mom would go out for walk and mostly window shop. I remember my mom once saying.. “When you grow up and have a job, then we will have a house of our own and buy these wonderful things to decorate our house.” Mom always wanted an own house. We were tired of shifting houses every few years. Lucky by gods grace and due to her hard work she was able to have her own house by 2001. Although it was very far from the city and we were new to that area, we were on cloud 9 to have our own home. Slowly we got a new car and I got a job soon after my engineering. We have beautiful home now and like my mom wished we got all the wonderful things to make our house look more beautiful. I am very proud of mom. There is still one thing remaining… I want to take my mom to some place abroad. I want to take her to UK. I want to show her London, Paris and Switzerland. I know she would love it. I’m hoping to do this very soon. :)
