happy birthday, mom

Today is my mom`s birthday. I love her lots.

My mom is what one calls charming. She always manages to be the centre of attention wherever she goes, even without meaning too. She can engage a crowd in conversation without them feeling bored. Sigh! I wish I was charming like her!

I can`t believe we used to fight a lot while I was growing up.

But at that time, I felt like she did not understand me. Oh the tantrums I used to throw just to spite her. Even then, she made me laugh like no other. I guess we had our share of good and bad days.

I never used to keep secrets from my mother. Yes, we quarreled a lot, but we always made up immediately after. The longest I did not speak to her might have been a day. She loved me too much to ignore me. LOL.

Before my sweetie and I “officially” became a couple, she was the first person I rang up and spoke to. Much to my surprise, she did not berate me (like I expected!). Instead, she asked me when she can come and meet him. I think she felt it in her heart that it was right :)

We got so much closer once I entered university. LOL. She called me at least 3 times every single day. Until today, I speak to her on the phone at least 3 times a day.

I love you, mom. Happy birthday!

** thank you all for the new year wishes :)

hey wish a happy happy birthday to ur mom from my side .....

my mom loves this song when i sing it for her or otherwise ...me sure u're mother will too .....


Mother of mine you gave to me,
all of my life to do as I please,
I owe everything I have to you,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.


Mother of mine when I was young
you showed me the right way things had to be done,
without your arms where would I be,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.


Mother you gave me happiness,
much more than words can say,
I thank the lord let me breath with you,
every night and every day.

Mother of mine now I am grown
and I can walk straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet Mother of mine.
.


and happy new year ....

Who puts the joy in every day?
Who makes it glad in every way?
Who knows the nicest things to say?
It’s a Mother!
Who understands and always hears?
Who helps us dry our falling tears?
Who just grows sweeter with the years?
It’s a Mother!

Nice post with really nice pic:)
