Mothers are the best gift that has given to us by god. Having them is such a thankful and splendid treasure in our life.

I am Shanmukhi; Today I would like to share the mistake that I made in my life.

I lost my Father when I was 14 years old. I know how my mom struggled all these years to make me and my sister stand in this respectable position. I only recently realized that I hated my mother because by hearing most of the friends words.

Growing up in a single parent household is challenging because I always felt so dependent on my mother for survival. But the older I get the more I see that my life is suffering because of the friends who misguided me from my mom.

Till my intermediate I had a decent relationship with my mother. After joining into b tech, I got 3 new friends sinduja, ravi, and pavani. I love them all because they shown the love and I was impressed by their caring. In the initial days they are so friendly and they used to respect my likes & dislikes. Among them Mr. Ravi love me lot. He expressed his interest to marry, but I told I am sorry, but also he used to take care of me.

From then each & every decision in my life is taken by them. After few days, they started pointing my weakness & negatives in me, but I never spoke anything, because that time I have a fear of losing them. My friends have always said bad things about my life, restrictions posed by mom, many like that and their way of words influenced me. I have never been able to connect emotionally with my mother.

I don’t know why my friends never liked my mom? They used to ask me, to avoid my mother for number of reasons. I thought their words are correct and all these years I avoided her. They used to say that, why do you talk to your mother for long time avoid her and made me stay away from my mom. I believed their words. I followed their words blindly. Even my dressing, way of behavior, eating habits, life style everything was decided by them. At one point I felt really unhappy with my life. I was not given any chance to express my feelings. They used to ask me to share everything, but when I tried none of them received or cared of my emotions & my hearts pain.

After my education I came to Bangalore job search. Even my professional was influenced by them. They used to compel me even in attending interviews. I simply did whatever they told to me.

Now I am really feeling bad of my past. If I look back and see, I am nowhere in my life, not even my mother. Even now I don’t understand how I simply believed such senseless and unusual friends who took away my personal life from my mother, who’s everything to me.

Recently by seeing few incidents, I realized what mistake I made.  Now I feel like moving back to mom.

Few days back I am at a cross roads in my life. And I feel more lost than ever. And the fact that my friends, who seem so settled in their lives, have misguided me. I can’t complain about anyone. It’s my mistake to disregard my mother by listening such stupid words.

For many years my mother is alone looking eagerly for my arrival. Now I am feeling really ashamed of the things that I have done. I can’t forgive myself. I even feel that I don’t have eligibility to live on the Earth. I know how really my mom worked to take care me and my brother. She spent many sleepless nights crying for us. I don’t know how I have done this to her.
My advice to everyone is that, please don’t listen anyone words and disregard your parents and do the same mistake I have done. Parents are everything.

I know I am miles away from my mother now. But, I will never forget what she gave me have made me special in this world. You never left hopes on me, your belief and trust made me achieve all what I have now, but I never cared you and received you with love. Please Forgive Me Mom.. I thank you for all your unconditional love, care, and numerous uncountable things you have given me in life. I wish you all health, happiness and comfort forever. Please never leave me mom.

Please forgive me mom. I will hold your hand; I will take care of you till my last breath.

I have decided to keep my mother in my heart with me  and welcome unconditional love and support into my life.
