When I hear the song “Glowing Inside” it reminds me of my
mother. This song is all about the things that our mother do to us and how
should we treasure and thank for those things. As an individual, our life will
not be complete if we don’t have a mother at our side to guide us as we grew
older. When we hear the word mother what comes up in our mind that best
describe our mother? Does the word mother mean everything to all of us? Will it
be difficult to grow up without a mother?
Every time I hear the word mother, there are
really words that come out of my mind. The best word that I think that will
best describe all the mothers is the word loving. We all know that all mothers
really love their children very much. Nowadays, we can conclude that almost
everything in this world has a price that money can buy but we should always
remember that there are still things that money can’t buy and one of it is the
love of our mother. Our mother is the one who is always there when we are still
babies and until now that we are already teenagers. They are always there to
guide, to protect and to help us in our problems. Probably, most of us will say
that their mother means everything to them. Sometimes when I am alone I am
thinking that maybe mothers are born for us to guide us on how to be a good
individual. Mothers are born because God wants to assure that even all the
people have turn their backs to you there is still someone we are sure that
will be always there and who will never turn her back to us.
It was
December 21, 2005, when my mother gave birth to my younger sister and after 2
days we were about to went out at the hospital. We were just waiting for our
father because he was paying the bills and all things were packed. Then
suddenly, there were something weird happened to my mother. Because I was just
6 years old that time I don’t know what I should feel but I know that my mother
is not okay at that time. I was really worried to my mother that’s why I asked
my father to come with me at the small chapel inside the hospital. That time I
was already crying a lot while praying to God not to get my mother at that
time. As a kid, I don’t have yet enough knowledge about death. I know that my
mother is dead already at that time but there were still questions in my head
at that time. I don’t know why he got my mother from us. I can see my father
was very depressed at that time and I can’t think anything else that I can do
to make him smile.
As I
grew up it was really difficult for me to recover in that incident. I felt like
there is something missing in my life. I have been with my mother for 6 years
but I think that 6 years is not enough to show my love for her. Because of this
incident I learned to be a responsible one. I also learned not to be selfish; I
have learned that I should first think my siblings before my own happiness. I
should act mature than before. I know that being the oldest among the three of
us, I have the greatest responsibility. I learned to be contented on the things
that I have and not to ask for more. As I grew older I know that these
happening will still shape me to be a better individual as long as I want to.
The best lesson I have learned is that we should cherished all the happy
memories with our loved ones because we can never do that happy memories again
when they are already gone.
We’ve
been through circumstances in life to make us a good individual. These
circumstances made us to realize the things we should not have done. If we don’t
experience circumstances how can we be a strong person to face a new
circumstance if we cannot overcome the first one. We should always remember
that circumstances will never let us down.
