Your life adventure with your mother…

When you were 1 year old, she fed and washed you with her hands. You thanked him by crying all night and keeping him awake. When you were 2 years old, he taught you how to walk. When he called you, you thanked him by running away from the room. When you were 3 years old, he carefully prepared meals for you. You thanked him by pouring your plate under the table. When you were 4 years old, he gave you colorful pencils. You thanked him by painting pictures on all the walls of the house. When you were 5 years old, he decorated you with cute clothes.

You thanked him by jumping into the first mud puddle you saw. He walked with you to school when you were 6 years old. You thanked him by crying on the streets saying “I’M NOT GOING”. When you were 7 years old, he gave you a ball as a gift. You thanked your neighbor by breaking his mosque. When you were 9 years old, he found you a piano teacher. You thanked him by not studying the notes even for a day. When you were 10, he drove you everywhere, from birthday parties to dance lessons.

You jumped out of the car and thanked him without even looking back. When you were 11 years old, he took you to the movies with your friend. You thanked him by saying, “Don’t sit with us.” He didn’t want you to watch harmful TV programs when you were 12 years old. You thanked him by watching them all when he wasn’t home. He sent you to summer camp abroad when you were 15. You thanked him by not writing a single line letter. He allowed you to go to a party with your boyfriend when you were 17.

You thanked him by returning home in the morning without even making a phone call. When you were 19, he paid for your school fees, drove you to campus and carried your belongings. You said goodbye to your friends at the campus gate so that they wouldn’t make fun of you. When you were 21, he wanted to give you an idea about your business life and career. You thanked him by saying “I won’t be like you.” When you were 22, he hugged you proudly at your cap ceremony.

You thanked him by asking for money for a trip to Europe. When you were 24, he wanted to meet the guy you had been dating for a long time. You thanked him by saying “I know when”. When you were 25, he paid for your wedding expenses. He was both happy and touched for you. You thanked him by moving to the other side of the world. When you were 30 years old, he wanted to give you advice about baby care.

You thanked him by saying, “Stop these primitive methods now.” When you were 40, he called you and reminded you of a relative’s birthday. You thanked him by saying, “Mom, I have a lot of work to do.” When you were 50, he got very sick, and he was happy when you went to see him at the weekend. You thanked him by saying that old people are coy like children. Then one day….. he died. Whatever you had not done for him until that day, fell into your heart like a lightning at that moment…
