Read a story in today's edition of DNA. A story of a porter's son who managed to crack the IAS exams. He dedicated his success to his mother, a beedi worker who was always confident of her son's abilities to make it big in life. Similar to it, was the story of Pooja Chopra's mother and the hardships she went through to support her daughter till she reached the Miss India pageant. Also what one can recall was the manner in which AR Rahman thanked his mother for standing by him.
These are just a few instances where parents (though the mention mainly of mothers) have risked all they had and provided all that they could for their children's success. Each time, when I see a parent crying, praying and hoping that the child does well in any endeavour or life in general, I am amazed. Amazed as to how selfless parenthood makes you; thrilled by the urge of the parents to see their child happy; gladdened by their efforts to give all the comforts to their kid; touched by how they manage to do this without expecting anything in return.
May be they are right when they say that parents were created as God couldn't be present everywhere.
