✍ANGEL IN DISGUISE📖📚
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A MOTHER AND A SON...
When I think of my mother, no one compares to her, her love like no other, she put everyone else first, and when I was younger, I treated her the worst, never known someone stronger, because damn!, it must have hurt, I don’t see you as much as I use to, but if I did I know what I will do. I’ll tell you I love you a million times, say that am sorry if I made you cry, can never be half the woman even if I try, but I’ll try, I swear I’ll try, if someone put me down, I know my worth, all thanks to you the lessons that I’ve learnt, if I had to put it into word, I think of an angel and all I see is her.
Her voice in my head, It tells me am beautiful, and when I have children, I’ll pass on the things I was told, and if I was a woman, I don’t think I could ever live up to the mother that my mother was, maybe I’ll always just feel so unprepared.
Growing up as a boy child, it is said that the male child have the smoothest and sweetest relationship with their mothers, Indeed it is true, one fact we’ll never know is that a mother’s love towards the male child is extraordinary, reasons, I can’t explain, just as the father’s cherish the girl child, so does the mothers cherish the boy child.
Everyday, I wish I can be the perfect son she’s always wished for, coming up as a child I didn’t have the smoothest relationship with my mother, it was rather toxic, but it was an unbroken bond, no matter how we fight, we would always end up coming back to each other, sometimes, It was like being in a toxic relationship but neither of us refuse to let go, funny how the love is undying, then, she was my best gossip partner, then, when ever she sees me with any girl that she doesn’t like, she’ll always give me one bombastic side eye, like a jealous lover, I remember my first love back then in senior year in secondary school, she was close to the girls mum, I don’t know if she knew that I liked the girl but I felt she did, because she’ll always tell her friend that she has refused to give out her daughter in marriage to us, and they’ll just laugh the matter off, me being a shy boy I’ll just act like I have no clue to what they were saying, during my graduation from secondary school, I had taken a studio picture with the girl, and when I got home I showed my mum, only for me to find out later that she had shown the picture to the girls mum, somehow I felt betrayed(in a funny way though). And somehow I was scared that her mum would scold her. Growing up as teenagers, a lot of people tend to draw apart from their mother, because of teenage secrecy, I tried to do that too but I wasn’t entirely successful, despite that I was able to hide somethings from her, but it was hard, because literally, she knew almost all about my life, those days if I want something from my dad, I’ll rather meet my mum knowing fully well that it’s my dad who is supposed to provide it for me, and whenever I’ve disturbed her too much, she’ll always yell and say “you have a father, why are you always on my neck?”. And I’ll just feign a frowny face, and after everything, she’ll still provide my request. No matter the depth of our issues, we always sorted it out in the most funniest ways, if I am too angry, she’ll always tease me with funny faces, and I’ll just end up smiling on my angry face, no matter how hard I try to hide it, and when she notices she’ll always burst out laughter, destroying my shield of anger, and I just find myself laughing. Sometimes I treated her badly by yelling at her, not knowing she just always wanted the best for me, and I know it made her cry when I did such, and now I don’t see her very often but I want to really say, mum I’m sorry. For all the times I’ve made you cry, I don’t know what I would have been without your love and support, the man I am becoming today is all because of you. THANK YOU MUM.
We had both bad and good times, sometimes It felt like the bad times wanted to tear us apart for a very long time, but then again she comes and mend everything with her little touch of magic, it was always like that till I left home for my tertiary education, and yet we were still like two wires tangled, if I do not expect any calls on my phone, my mum breaks the record, being the only son, my mum will always tease me about getting married whenever she called, my prayers everyday Is that she lives long to see how prosperous I’ll be, so she could eat the fruit of her labour.
Have you ever imagined, how an angel looked like, basically we sit with them every day of our life while growing up, a mother would do anything to protect her child from the slightest danger, the heart of a mother is so pure like that of an angel or you could say like that of a little baby, no matter what they’ve gone through, their resilience is so shocking, how much they persevere and absorb all the pains, its like a miracle, they’re always ready to spread love across all children, even the ones that are not theirs. Shout out to all the mothers out there, indeed they are ANGELS IN DISGUISE.
I dedicate this piece of work to all mothers out there, for their love and support towards us their children. May God bless them mightily. Amen.
