mommy made me proud!

i've always wanted to give back all that my mom did for us. i know i won't be able to ever do that, but at least try to do some of what she's done for us manic kids. i don't know how i'll express what's my idea. i guess the latest master card TVC says it all and says it best. where this guy takes his parents to the amusement park and sees them become children again. i have huge plans of what i want mommy dear to do, and where im going to send her. let her splurge all that she wants, enjoy all that she wants and do stuff that she never thought she would do.

well, i'm a special kid and my wishes are granted pretty easy. my mom's on a holiday to goa. this is with her company and its a compulsory trip. since my mommy darling is on the fatter side and her achy braky joints are troubling her she decided that she's NOT going to be part of the dancing dhamaka that happens during these trips even though she loves to groove to music..... two days into the trip and i get an ecstatic call from my mommy who's sounding like an eight year old. "rani girl! guess wat i just did!!" "mom what are you talking 'bout?" " i just did absailing and valley-crossing! and oh-my-gawd did i enjoy myself or wat!"

i had stepped out of my office when i received her call and sat myself down on the pavement when i heard what i had just heard! i was all ready to cry. my 53 year old, plum, osteoporosis inflicted Mom had just gone down a rugged mountain and crossed a river .

whoa! i was so happy! it was a moment i didn't want to miss. felt so horrible that i wans't with her when she did it. but what the heck! i'll have pictures to look at! im waiting for her to get back and re-live her child-like moments again.
