Momma's Tears
I set off into this world, taking the form of an embryo where I lay embedded in my mother's uterus and stayed there for a period of 9 months until her water broke and had her contraction, and that's how I set foot into this so called 'modern world'.
My journey hasn't always been ecstatic, there has been some ups and downs, but on the day where I was born, when she held me in her arms for the first time, she let out a small cry. Her tears touched my bare soft skin. And although I was too young to understand back then, atleast I could feel her warmth wrapping me around like a blanket and that her tears were like rainbows and unicorns that has encircled my every being and this has made me the person I am today.
There are infinite reasons behind a mother's tears. Of it all, the most painful thing to witness is seeing her shed tears of pain, sorrows and heartbreaks. I know at some point I've hurt her feelings, sentiments, but I was too focused on myself that for several times I failed to acknowledge it. And for this I might as well live with regrets or I could make up for it by wiping her tears off her face and be a reflection of someone that she wanted to see in me and make choices in life that could benefit us both.
Have I made sacrifices?
I'm not sure, but my mother did. She's the one person who'd always placed her life on the line just so we could be happy. She'd fake a smile through her tears a gazillion times. She has done so much that even pearls and diamonds loses it's worth when it comes to her. When I was burying myself in 'The Fault In Our Stars' written by John Green, I came across this line which was actually a monologue and it reads 'There are an infinite set of numbers between 0 and 1'. We were so used to leaving out the numbers behind the decimals that we forgot that it has got its little infinity in between. This has got me thinking that everything that my mom has done for me is still far from a quarter of its infinity. But even with her little infinity, she has given me a forever within her numbering days and that even a drop of her tears weighs more than my measured weight.
One of the greatest gifts that I am gifted everyday is my Mother. She knows me from the inside out. She has trained me to be not exactly 'Perfect', but just a step away from it. And if you're reading this I hope you know that 'Nobody gets you like your mom does. Nobody loves and cares for you like she does. Because this is who she is. She can never hate a person who was once a portion of her and this is why you'll always be a part of her. So before you do things that could hurt her, I'd rather you think twice because nothing's heavier than momma's tears crying over her messed up child.
