A mother's love sees no end..
Mothers' sacrifice their body to new life.
After birth they take a total different form and never have the same figure from the time they carry in their womb.
Their love is in every breath they take for their children.
No matter where their child is and what ever the child's age a mother always has her child in her mind. Protecting them with silent prayer and sending love in the wind.
Mother's aims are always to provide more than what they had when they were a child to their children. To always give the best food and clothing, to educate and marry off their children. Always putting some dream of theirs to a stop to ensure the growth of their children. They breath easy as the reason they are given this big task by God has come to be once seeing their children are able to be their own and a parent too.
So why does society or children expect mothers to take care of their grand children and their children till the day they die? This happens so much in Asian society.
Why see a person in their 60's and above as an invalid or unable to care for themselves unless only if they are ill. Should they not be able to leave they life now? Do what they like? Go where they want? See their dreams come true? Unless of course it is the mothers wish to just spend time with her grand children.
I am truly proud of my mother Saraswathy Arikrishnan whom have raised her siblings (she is the oldest of 10), her four children and nine grand children is a person whom remembers the phone numbers by mind unlike us who have it on our smart phones. She had lost her husband, taken care of many invalids and children in Toronto. Being a staff nurse in her younger days; seen the worst of illness and nursed the poor and the rich in Malaysia.
Together she and my father Arikrishnan have written (Tamil) over 30 novels, hundreds of short stories for news paper and radio dramas in Malaysia. All this while raising her children. She is still very active with society work and continues to to so in Toronto, having established the Canadian Indian Women Society. She has campaigned for John McKay in Toronto. She was a very active lady in the women section of Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC ) in Selangor.
It is good to see older women living their life to the fullest as they see it best for them. God bless all mothers.
