Best Gift ..

As I was packing my bags for my trip to India.. I got a million things that I have been looking for the past 6 months, but in between all the million thing I get this white envelope that has my dad's company logo, it also had To Dimpy ( that's what they call me at home) written on the top. At the button of the envelope CONFIDENTIAL is written in block big letter's. Generally when you get things like these in your bag it might scare you a little bit, but I knew exactly what it was and it got a big smile on my face.
My mom without any doubt is the best in the world. She is the kind who will do anything for her daughters but will not show it to the world, not ever to her daughter's (I mean it). My mom is different she doesn't believe in being my best friend, she says I have to be a wife, be a daughter, an elder sister to six of her siblings, a daughter in law and a sister in law (ufff) so ill stick to being you mom and reduce complications. I wasn't every thrilled of the fact that my mom was not my friends till I went to the US, because now I know why and I totally agree with her. So getting back to my mom not being a very public display of affection types didn't really bother me because I always assumed that she loved me and its not necessary to show it or to tell me that. But with this CONFIDENTIAL letter I got from her gave me the feeling that I will never ever forget my entire life.

Jai Mata Ki
Not every child has the chance to fulfil their parents wishes, you are blessed and one of the lucky few who has had the chance to make her parents proud. We sometimes just sit back and think weather its just a dream.
How fast time flew. Remember we were just thinking about house its your mom and dad's wish that you should do you MBA, and now it feels like it was the toughest decision we have ever made sending you alone. Sending a girl child that to you being the first child in the family raised a lot of eyebrows. People questioned us and a lot of questions mind you, but you have proven all of them wrong. We were definite of our upbringing and confident of your achievement. You made everyone sit back and think.
It was very difficult living without you. Everyday at night before sleeping we would think how you were, what you ate, how you would cope alone in a foreign country specially when you were so extra protected back home. But we had faith in god and knew that he was guiding you and he was sending the right people at the right time to help you.
Every time we felt low you brought a smile on our face by getting an award. You kept reassuring us that everything was worth it. You proved to everyone that girls can do better than boys. More than anything you proved to yourself that you can achieve much move and much bigger things in life. I sit back and think how you would complain about my stern and over protective nature you , you would say I'm not like normal mothers that's because I was scared, I was scared that if I would be a little more liberal with you, you would forget my dreams for you. I wanted desperately by any chance for you to be very scuessful in your life and most importantly I wanted you to achieve all this by yourself. You were brought up with very less money and there were times I felt bad about it but now I thank god for it because now I can say you know the value of money more than I do, your maturity level about life surprises me sometimes I fell I have so much to learn from you.
When I talk to your friends mothers all they say " sandhya your very lucky to have swapna because she is always so level headed and has her goals in life fixed and whatever she does she has you and her father at the back of her mind always". This is when I am proud of your upbringing and I know we have done the right job. You have supported me by listening to me when ever I need you the most, you have been the best daughter any parent can ever ask. I have always dreamt of both my daughters being very educated and successful , your success has paved the way for you sister, she will follow the same path you have taken by the grace of god. She has understood at a very young age that time once gone will never come back and we have to tap the opportunity at once. She has understood that she has to achieve the same success that you have achieved .
Lastly I want to thank you because you have not only achieved mine and you fathers dreams but mostly you have achieved my fathers dreams and you have made him proud. I pray to god that if daughters are like you I want only daughter for all my seven life's.
God bless you
Mom

This will be the best gift I will ever have in my entire life..

Thank you mom
