I miss my mom.. (She passed away more than 10 years back).. One would say everyone who has lost their loved one missed them.. While i agree.. After 10 years I can sense why I miss my mom so much..

The only form of selfless love ive experienced is from her.. Its so rare in this world.. Its not like my mum used to pamper me infact quite on the contrary.. She wouldn’t let me watch tv at night.. she wouldn’t take my tantrums on food and would stuff whatever was made into my mouth..

She also would go for her morning walks even though i would hug her tight in the morning wanting her not to go..

Knowing all this you might ask did she even love me? Well she did… She would do anything that would help me grow into a better human being..

The incident I remember distinctly is in the year 1997.. I was wanting to take french in school but the school guys wouldn’t let me.. My mum who at that time was suffering from cancer left no stone unturned to make sure i got french in school.. I didn’t let her down.. She expired in 1998 but I did well in french both in school and in college..

Its been 10 years and Ive been searching for that kind of selfless love in every girl ive met.. Its rare.. Ive not felt as secure in 10 years as I felt when I gave my mum a hug at night.. Very few people can make you feel like that.. When you find such people.. make sure you hold on to them no matter what.. Life requires a lot of strength to get through it.. A lot of our strength comes from within.. But when someone like that holds you hand and you know that incase something breaks inside this person on the outside with help you put the pieces together then there aint no better feeling than that..

Selfless love is rare.. Treasure it!
