My Mother..

 Today it is my mother's birthday... She is not her old self due to ill health and seldom speaks. She has always been an avid reader and this is the only habit which she has retained. Am sure it is reading which still keeps her alive... a few words to my dearest mother...

Happy birthday dearest...

Hope you remember the good old times you created for each one of us...

Hope you remember the time you spent teaching us not just from the books but to preserve our integrity no matter what...

Hope you remember that it is you who taught us to have faith but without it's trappings.

Hope you remember that it is you who taught us to love the elderly since you dropped everything to run and look after your parents...

Hope you remember that it is you who taught us to love without all the show...

Hope you remember that it is you who taught us to love books and to read....

May God give you many more years...
