3rd May 2011- A sweetest incident happened in my life.
I usually go home after work and give bath to Maya in the evenings. Yesterday evening I left her playing with her grandparents in the hall and went to our room to get things ready for her bath. I was so busy taking her clothes, her bath oil, etc and my sweetie pie had crawled across from the hall (with her grandmom watching over her carefully), came into my room, was trying to get up holding the door and called me ' amma'. Its the sweetest shock I ever had in the recent past and I am lingering over that picture again and again in my eyes. She looked so anxious and happy to see me. Ofcourse, it lasted for a minute and she came inside the room to explore other things lying on the floor. But my happiness knew no bounds that minute.
Our special times are when I bathe her, she sometimes comes closer to me, hugs me and kisses and then goes back to holding the tap to play. She smiles throughout the bath and its a special mom and daughter time we have. Every single day I wake up, I long for that moment. When I leave from office everyday, I know I will see my daughter, play with her, no matter how much ever short or long that time is going to be and it gives me a purpose to live life. It makes me the happiest mom to realise that she is happy to see me when I go back home. Being a working mom is not easy, I am sure all mothers who are away from their kids at work will agree. But there are special moments like this, make our lives worthwhile.
