There's nothing mothers can't do. Even if their child is dying, a mother will stop God and the Universe and bring back her child to life. Their love is not only unconditional, but also healing.
I recently got diagnosed with Malaria and my Mum just went into SuperMum mode. I was down with fever, chills, a massive headache and too much weakness but for my Mum it meant one thing - my daughter is sick, need to bring her back to health.
From staying up late nights to massage my headache away to feeding me dinners with her own hands so I can have the heavy medication later, my Mum left nothing to chance.
I find it very fascinating and admirable how anytime anyone falls sick at home my Mum puts on some invisible cape and gets to work. Even if you wake her up in the middle of the night, she will get inside the kitchen and come back with her concoction of warmth and comfort. She has a cure for every ailment, you ask her cure for cancer she probably might pull that off too, but let's just say it'll involve haldi doodh somehow.
I really wonder if I'll ever be able to have Mum powers, you know get the doctor inside of me out when my kid is sick or be the teacher while doing homework or be the chef to a hungry child. Heck, I don't even know if I'll ever even be a mother. But a thousand thank yous will not be even enough to express how grateful I'm to my own Mum. She does everything for me without expecting anything in return and that makes me feel overwhelmingly loved. Each time I fall sick I take the time out to be grateful for the people who check on me, Dad included because let's accept he's a moral support while Mum does all the real work. But his presence is comforting and enough for me.
Thank you Mum for bringing me out yet another bout of sick days and now we can go back to you sulking everytime I come back home late at night :p
