When I was very young, I was a sickly child. In fact, I had to spend most of my life away from school and in bed. Not surprisingly, I was miserable. I not happy and constantly demanded my mother’s attention. I was a spoiled brat.
During the day, I would demand that my favorite delicacies be served to me and that my favorite stories be read to me. At odd hours of the night, I would ask for a hot drink or a cookie, or just some company.
“Mummy, stay with me!” was my constant whine.
Not once was that demand refused. Not once did my mother groan or grumble. She answered every unreasonable demand of mine with unfailing patience. My mother would put everything aside to confort me.
My world was very small then. There was just me and mummy. My world consisted of the feel of her cool palms soothing my brow and her floral scent as she leaned over me to tuck in my blanket. I remember her low voice, hushing me as I fretted about the pains in my joints. Most of all, I remember the look in her eye, of deep concern for her sick child. That was how I knew my mother loved me then.
Miraculously, I have outgrown my childhood ailments. Now that I am on the threshold of adulthood, my world has grown to include many exciting friends .Set free from the prison of the sickbed, I revel in the fun that the world has to offer.
My relation ship with my mother has suffered from my wile pursuit of sun. she criticizes my choice of my friend and tries to enforce riles and regulation to curb my activities.
Two night ago, I stayed out way, way past my “curfew” hour, which is eleven o’clock. It was almost 1 a.m. when I reached my house. To make matters worse, I had been unable to call home to infirm my mother that I would be delayed. There were no phones where we were “hanging out”. I knew that I was in for it !
My mother flung open the door the minute she heard my friend’s car put in. Her face was red, sweat was pouring down her temples. My friends made a quick exit as she ranted at me, her arms waving wildly. I didn’t say a word, in case one of those hands should find its mark on my face. I was ordered straight to bed.
As I got into bed, she shoot in my room, still ranting at me for my disobedience and “wild behavior”. I was tried. I just wanted to sleep. I looked up at her face try to gauge if her scolding would be continuing much longer
Then I saw something familiar about the look in her eyes. It was the same look of concern that she had always had when I was so sick. I saw in her eyes all the fears that she had suffered that night as she waited for her daughter to return safely.
This is how I know my mother loves me now.
