Teachers Day just past by. I logged onto my social networking site and saw a number of thank you updates for teachers on this special day. Some were nice enough to say Thank you to their mums as they are the first teachers in a childs life and yes I agree nobody can teach you more than your mums.
So I sat there staring at my computer screen and thinking of all my fantastic teachers.. at school and in college. I also thought of my very wonderful Mom. She's taught me so much. I wished I could actually write a personalized Thank You to all those people who've taught me a thing or two.
While reminiscing of my school and college days I also felt a pang of sadness. In this journey of life some of my closest people have drifted away. Somehow from actually throwing birthday parties for each other and wishing at midnight our association has reduced to a "Happy Birthday" post on FaceBook.
I sat there still when my son entered the room with a balloon in his hand. He ran to me to give a hug and saw my eyes a little mist. He handed that priceless balloon to me and said "Mumma... For You". I couldn't help but think how much my kids have taught me.
They've taught me to smile through tears. To forgive... and forget. To trust. To be patient. To love unconditionally. To be strong. These are big lessons in life. But somehow these tiny creatures can teach them without blinking an eye.
So I thank all my teachers from school and college. A big thank you to my mum for being my first teacher. You're fantastic.
And a big hug to my kids. You are wonderful teachers.
