An Ode to MY Mother

It isn't usual for me to say how much I love my mother, it is just understood one of those un-spoken things. But today, I want to take a minute to say how much I appreciate her.

I love her for making me and Shali her #1 priority in life.
I love her for all those times she relentlessly stayed up to help with my homework, and to push me towards my career goal.
I love her for standing steadfast to her ideals, even though it might drive me crazy at times.
I love her for the unfailing devotion and faith she has in God.
I love her for taking time off and coming to stay with us when Sudha and Brinda were born, inspite of not really wanting to stay for so long away from home.
I love her for her dedication to keeping fit and taking time from every single thing to walk for 1-1/5 hrs every morning and evening.
I love her for always being right, even if I'm frustrated that she is always right.
I love her for so many more things.

Thank you, Amma, for being there to guide and love me every step of the way.
