All I Am Is Because of My Mother’s Love

Mom, Maa, Mommy, Ammi… we may call her by any name, but a mother’s love remains the same—pure, powerful, and unconditional. No words can truly describe what it feels like to be nurtured and shaped by her presence. One can write endlessly about motherhood, yet never fully capture it. It’s not something to explain—it’s something you feel deeply.

My mom is the epitome of strength, grace, and unconditional love. She’s not just my mother—she’s my role model. While many children say, “My mom is special,” I say, “I am special, because she is my mom.”

Her Selfless Sacrifices

Whatever I am today is because of my mother’s love and her sacrifices. She has given up countless things just to see us—me and my siblings—succeed and smile. My education, especially, would never have been possible without her faith in me. She could see my passion for studying and encouraged me to pursue my Master’s, even when circumstances weren’t ideal.

She would stay awake with me during late-night studies, only to wake up early again—just to make me a cup of tea. Sure, I could’ve made it myself, but Woh Maa ke haath ki baat hi Nirali hai. That’s the magic of a mother’s touch.

The Values That Shape Me

Mother’s love isn’t just about care; it’s about the life lessons she passes on quietly through her actions. One piece of advice that lives rent-free in my mind:
“No matter what—be kind, be good, help others, and forgive. And forget too.”

She has lived by this, not just said it. Whether it was our maid, a neighbor in need, or even guests next door whose door was locked—my mom ensured no one ever left without food, water, or at least a glass of sharbat. Even when we didn’t have much, she gave freely.

As a child, I often asked, “Mumma, why are you helping them?”
She would smile and say, “Beta, if you help others, God helps you.”

Walking in Her Footsteps

Through the years, I’ve learned how a mother’s support shapes her child’s soul. She taught me the value of empathy and compassion—not just by speaking, but by living those values. I’m trying to follow in her footsteps.

At times, I admit, I fall short. I do get selfish. But I remind myself that the world needs good people like her, like us—just as she always says when I complain about how the world doesn’t care.

She believes in forgiveness and kindness—even towards those who hurt her. She never holds grudges. “Do your best and leave everything to Him. He is watching everything,” she always says.

I’ve learned to forgive, but I’m still learning the art of forgetting. That’s my mom’s superpower. And that’s how a mother’s love works—it makes you strive to be better, every single day.

A Better World Starts at Home

Mother’s love teaches us that peace begins within the home. If more people thought like her, the world would be a kinder, more peaceful place. Imagine a world where everyone lives in harmony, helps one another, and holds no grudges. Isn’t that what we need today?

She has not only been a wonderful mother but a beautiful human being. I hope I can live up to her expectations and pass on these values to my children.

One day, I want her to look at me and say,
“You did it, beta.”
