Life doesn't come with a manual. It comes with a Mother. - Anon
A small girl looked up and about. Trying to understand why life was being so difficult.
She saw her friends with their parents. But she hardly saw her mother and her father too was a rare sight.
Her grandparents, uncle and aunts doted on her. But why did her parents shun her.
More importantly she didn't know the meaning of a parent. She hadn't felt the presence of one in her life
She yearned for her father's attention. Irked him just to get a reaction, to let him know her presence. Only to get disappointed
A Fairy entered her life and took her into her arms. She realized how a mother's love must feel.
How a mother protects you from harm. How a mother prioritizes you over everything.
She looked up to her for every single problem knowing she will never be shunned.
She learnt the simple joys of life. She learned to live.
A mother helped her solve her little problems which wouldn't have been in her life, had she been there.
The fairy taught her the simple lessons on how to eat, how to behave, appreciating her small improvements.
She stood by her and calmed her when she was scared. She was there for her, when no one else was.
The fairy held her hand and guided her that day, but she entered her heart for a lifetime.
She knew the fairy was her MOTHER.
A child got her childhood. A woman got her motherhood. A man - a few lessons on parenthood.
