The drudgeries of life

Whims and fancies
She's sure to have a not so good day if she doesn't hear my voice, or so she tells me. Hence, the one call (sometimes more) a day routine. I've so gone used to it that I can't imagine a day without hearing her voice either.
Enquire about what she wants more than anything, and she'll always have the same answer: "I want you to be here with me". And she's quite stubborn about it.
Ask her what she'd like for her birthday and she'll say, "I'd cherish your presence. Or maybe you can write to me... it's been a while since you've done that. No gifts. "
She has got to know about everything that goes on in my life, she has the right to nag me when she feels I've asked for it, and she loves threatening me every now and then that she'll fly down to Pune!
She'll worry herself sick when I'm out doing something which she feels is life-threatening... which is pretty much everything that I take up. Sighs!
Hard to count how many sleepless nights she has spent in the past 23 years thanks to me.
Very seldom has she been taken seriously but quite a few times her feelings have been hurt. (Damn, do I feel guilty or what!!)
The perfect mediator... till date, she has always stepped in between whenever it was called for.
Someone who has always motivated me (even if at times it meant indiscriminate comparison with others), she has been terribly upset at my failures and utterly joyous at my triumphs (though I haven't given her many reasons to rejoice), and she has been with me all along the way.
The thing that gives me the greatest pleasure is lying down with my head on her lap, and well just lying like that...
She has always had me amazed with her stamina, her managerial skills, her simplicity et al.
She recently turned 45 and is still the prettiest woman around (No I'm not biased, I tell you :))
I always have a feeling I love her and Dad both equally, but then I also have a feeling that I love her a tad bit more.
I might be up to my neck in work (so much so that I haven't been able to read The Deathly Hollows that I have in my posssession) but I seriously had to post this in her honor...
Mumma, can't imagine life without you! *Muaaaahhhh*

Heres wishing her all the best in her life!
