How is your mom doing?

My mom is doing well, thank you. She is a remarkable woman who, despite the challenges she faces, remains incredibly resilient. At 70, she has always been highly energetic and hardworking. However, three years ago, a fall led to a hip fracture. Due to the complications of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lack of available medical resources, she had to endure five days of immobility and pain without proper care or medication. Her blood sugar levels skyrocketed, leading to diabetes as a secondary health issue. Post-surgery, she has weakened but still carries on with daily household duties and attends to her husband's needs, despite the diminution in her vigor.

Despite the physical toll, her mental and emotional strength remains intact. She maintains a headstrong and determined attitude, performing all her duties on her own. This unyielding spirit and practical approach to life are traits I deeply admire and strive to emulate.

Unique and Wise

Although we don't talk regularly, her wisdom and guidance are always present. She is busy with her work, and I am with mine. But during a rare family gathering last week, she initiated a conversation. She laughed and said, 'You've grown up now.' My reply was, 'Oh.' To which she smiled and said, 'How is your work going?' I told her that it was going well, and she responded with, 'Whatever you do, do it well and help everyone because don't forget there was a time when nobody helped us, and we should strive to ensure that no one faces that time again.' This advice is a valuable lesson I carry with me.

The Protagonist - Mummy

The story begins with a message from a girl I knew through the internet. She requested money from me, citing her grandfather's death. However, when I inquired, she couldn't provide a valid reason. Initially, I believed she might have thought her brother wouldn't help her. But my mother cautioned me not to fall for the bait.

Eventually, the word spread that the girl had been spotted in a holiday spot with her friends, which was a stark contrast to her plea for money. My mother's wisdom and encouragement to avoid the trap were instrumental in helping me resist giving money to someone who seemed untrustworthy. Her wisdom on values and family obligations is a valuable lesson.

Turning Point

The turning point came when I discovered, despite her status being set to private, she had accidentally shared her activity on my mother's phone. This revelation, combined with my mother's decisive actions, reinforced the importance of resilience and trust in real-life relationships.

My mother has an emotional and intelligent balance that is unparalleled. She has always been there for me, avoiding evil eyes and guiding me with her wisdom. No thanks or praise is sufficient for the effort and love she puts in. She embodies the true meaning of a mother's wisdom.

Conclusion

In summary, my mother is not just a family member; she is a beacon of strength, wisdom, and emotional balance. Her resilience through adversity and her unwavering support have taught me invaluable lessons. She is no ordinary mom—she is the guiding light in my life.
