Dear Mom,
Happy mom's day. You won't believe it but today I fully know what you are worth.You were right when you said I'll have to become a mother to understand the love of a mother.Being a mother of two kids has taught me that there is nothing like a mother and her love in this vast expanse of the world.
I know I've been an impossible kid to you. Forgive me for running away from the chores at home to wallow in the dusty lanes of the neighborhood. I used to detest you for making me do the household chores. I thought it was JUST a mother's duty to do the cooking and washing and sighed with pain when you made me do all that at the tender age of ten. But today when I look at the satisfied smile on my new family's face after I cook them a meal, I silently thank you for making me learn that so early in life.
Just when I entered my teenage, I was left to go to a boarding school, and I held my finger pointed towards you. But only now does my heart understand that those four years in boarding school has given me the new wings of independence. Today, walking all alone in the streets of one of the biggest city in the world, I want to shower you with the best of my smile and say, "look at me mom, I can handle life on my own."
Watching you swish around the house making it home for us despite the hard life, I used to think my dad is full of life while all you do is shed tears and lament about the negative side of life. Today as I stand of the pedestal of marriage and the struggles of keeping it alive, I know where my patience comes from, it's you I've learnt from dear mother.
You have made me who I am and you know what I'm proud to be aged and wrinkled; just few days ago somebody told me that I'm beginning to look like you. I can never forget dad taunting me about my looks, maybe in his eyes you were the most beautiful lady in the world but it used to feel bad when he used to tell me that I don't have an iota of beauty like you. But as I'm aging, people( even dad) feels I'm beginning to look like you, and that's the biggest compliment I can ever hope to receive.
Mom, I try to be you in every step as a wife and mother and above all the WOMAN you are. Thank you for shoveling the path for me to take in life, it makes life easier to live.
Happy mothers day to you!

Seems like only daughters understand the true pains and agony of our mothers. Cos they will have to become mother one day. Going through the lines of your, i regret why i have acted in such a way to my only mom those childhood days which hurt her in nonreciprocal manner, but now as i am grown up, i can feel her truest love for me.
