my mother is the most important person in my life. my mother and i have this special bond together that i’m sure exists between mothers and their children all over the world. i cannot explain it, but when she is around i feel safe and happy.
this is because my mother is very sincere and trustworthy. never once in my life have i ever heard my mother tell a lie, without a concrete reason as to why she said it. the only time she told us a lie was to make us feel good whenever we were sad. the worst thing to my mother was seeing us sad and she would do whatever was in her power to see us happy again.
another great trait of my mother is that she is naturally friendly and welcoming. people are always attracted to her positive vibe and jovial nature. she does not fake smiles or try to impress people for the wrong reasons. if she likes you, she will go out of her way to make you feel special. rarely does she get into altercations and if she does, it means that she has really been offended and the person responsible will get a piece of her mind.
she is very slow to anger however. even if she is angered, she is mature enough to control her tongue. because, as she always reminds us, words hurt people and once released they can never be swallowed back.
my mother is also very generous. this generosity is not just expended to her children, she extends a helping hand to anyone who needs it. she is the type that will use the right hand to help you, without the left hand knowing. she does not help people publicly for the whole world to see, she does it from the heart, without expecting anything in return.
coming from a humble background, she understands what it feels like to go hungry and she will do anything to assist everyone, including strangers. although she will probably be offended that i revealed this, but my mother organizes meals for the less fortunate during christmas and thanksgiving holidays.
furthermore, she is very hardworking. like i mentioned earlier, my mum didn’t come from a well to do family. she had to work her way up, through sheer will and hard work. not only that, she had to balance between working and raising a family. being a housewife was never a thing for her, she felt that it was her responsibility to help dad bring the bacon home. she had to wake up very early, prepare breakfast for us and then drop us to school. in the midst of all these strenuous activities, she still had extra time to be ready for work.
in the evenings she would come pick us up from school, prepare dinner, help us with our assignments and then ensure that we slept well. she did all these chores over and over again, without complaining once. in fact she would get offended if we did something without her. even in sickness, she still woke up to prepare meals for us.
my mum is a person you can rely on. if she says she will do something, be rest assured that she is going to do it. there are no shortcuts to her when she promises something and she will follow everything to the letter. the only problem is that she expects the same loyalty from people. if you promise her something, make effort to do it or else you will land on her bad side. she loves the truth, no matter how disheartening it may be. she dislikes liars and people with sweet tongues, who will say anything to impress you. i don’t know how she does it, but she can smell a dishonest person from a mile away.
