My Mother:My Hero My mother is the inspiration of my life;she is the one without whom the lives of me or my brother would have been unimaginable. We can only appreciate the courage and perseverance she has demonstrated since my father's death.She for 10 long years has single-handedly ..shouldered "all" responsibilities.She is the bread winner of our small family..and as i write this composition i literally fall short of words to describe how "GREAT" a person she is.I wouldn't be boasting if i compare her to a superwoman...She may not be able to fly..but she has made sure that her children soar across the sky with their wings of aspiration .She might not have the strength to shake and crumble buildings ..but the manner in which she has sheilded her children from anything that may try to harm them is indeed heroic..Our desires..and ambitions have never been compromised or bargained for..I have never been haunted by the absence of my father in the light of her love,,selfnessness and sacrificing nature..She sets aside all her desires,,tears..longings..so that her children may never have to bear the brunt of it..Remarkable is the way in which she dodges ..office and family life.and yet never complainsabout how life ...at times becomes increasingly diificult for her..My mother like an invisible barrier guards us against all odds and silently absorbs all the pain not allowint even the slightest trace of worry & anguish to bother us..She can read my heart..I need not tell her anything or give her and explanation ..because she knows it alll..She has never forced me for anything..but has given plenty of space to explore,grow,fall.learn and achieve..She proudly applauds even the smallest of my achievements,,and motivates me on the occasion of even my gravest failures..and trusts me for what i do.There have not been just many but several incidents..where her strong presence has made me feel proud of being her daughter.. I remember..when she had a fracture in her toe..walking was not an easy task for her..when she was recovering from it.Inspite of the immense pain incurred while walking and especially on the staircases she chose to attend a parent teacher meeting where she was supposed to signt th school board registration form..She risked dettering the condition of her toe..so that my registration for the board may not be delayed.Though she didn't let it show on her face..i could see how much pain she was in. I also remember the time when i had been admitte to the hospital on account of meningitis..though i was the patient it was she who was bearing all the pain on my behalf...No matter what time of the day..i always found her..at the distance of a call..owe my life,good health and well-being to her.Even now when i am old enough to help her with the household chores..and all my peers do so..she has never forced me to do anything as such..She prioritises my studies.and never compromises with them ..no matter how tired she is.. She had always wanted to become a lecturer..but inspite of being qualified ..and also having the ritght oppurtunities..she had settle in for a job nowhere near her interests..for the safety of her children.Remarkably enough ..after having lived reality for quite some time she lives her dreams through us..It would only be impossible..yet insufficient to enlist her strength in the form of a few instances.I may never be able to determine ..leave alone describe her importance in my life.but even as i try to do so..I dedicate all possible adjectives to the "best mother in the world...."
