MOTHERS DAY

Hi
Today is MOTHER'S DAY. I am lucky to have a mother who although having a large family, took good care of all her children. She was born in a city but after marraige had to stay with a joint family in a small town. Those days she had to slog all alone with all the house work.
Now she is quite old, but still able to help around. She loves all her grandchildren . When I go to meet her , she is happy and tells me all her troubles. Most of them are imaginary. I try to calm her down.
I am also a happy mother. My children love me. I have two grandchildren. They are the apple of my eyes. One of my grandchild is just a toddler. She is an angel. I am so happy when I see her playing, smiling, talking gibberish.
The elder one has joined school. She has a lot to talk to me when she returns from school. I am her playmate.
Nowadays children grow up too soon. Even kids become mature fast. Life in metros is tension filled. People have no time to say a kind word to somebody. Everyone has their own problems. Living in nuclear families is the norm today. Joint families where everyone willingly helps each other has become rare.
