Mom To The Rescue!

Yay! I've a super mommy :) As kiddish as it sounds, my mom isn't just my super hero, she's an amazing person. Yesterday, my mom rescued a little kid, or rather a baby, at the mall. Just, how awesome is that! 

So we were at the mall, me, mom and my sister, we were walking out of a a shop when I spotted a young mother freaking out and screaming for help. Her baby was choking. She froze, thoughtless, not doing a thing!

I asked my mom if she could help her. My mom, didn't think twice, she ran off to help her and asked what's wrong. The kid, who was less than a year old probably, was eating a biscuit and choked on it. He was starting to turn blue!

His mom was really freaking out. She started crying and wasn't really doing much to help! She was just standing there in disbelief... motionless!

I don't know what mom did, but apparently all her parenting skills and experiences kicked in in the right moment. She knew how to carry the baby. She tapped him on the back, and she managed  to let him spit out the biscuit. And it was a big chunk. He was pinking again, regaining color and breathe!

Once the baby spat it out, my mom hugged him tightly, showered him with kisses, telling him it was okay. And for a baby who doesn't know mom at all, I gotta say he felt safe and clutched on to her!

Even more mom managed to make his mother calm down. She assured her that he's okay and will be okay. She told her not to worry... She even continued to hold the baby tightly until his mom gained composure....

And everyone at at the mall was looking at my mommy like she's a hero! The baby's mom thanked her over a million time. His dad showed up a few moments and thanked mom even more! It was amazing... a lot of people were passing by, no one really cared to stop and help her... but my mom did! And it was great! She was there at the right time and right place.

It was actually a pretty emotional moment....

Seeing mom do this with a strange kid got me thinking... I must have have been really lucky as a little kid! She honestly showered him with care, love and attention. So being her kid, I can't even assume what she must have been like! Actually, I can.... 'cause my mom still showers me with love, care and attention all the time.

One day, I hope to be like her... actually, I can't wait to have my own kids and be like her :)
My mom is a Super Mommy! 

Mom & Dad...

From the first minute we open our eyes to the world, we find two people who are simply devoted to taking care of us and to making our life better.

Mom & Dad!

Our parents are there for us from the first minute we set foot to life... giving us enormous love and support whenever needed. Even when we don't ask for it. Even when we don't realize that it's love. Never asking for anything in return. Their only payback is us being happy.

Our parents shape their entire lives in order to provide for us the best life ever... from the minute we're born, their lives revolve around what we want and how they would give it to us.

They work hard, day and night... to give us good lives, good education and to see our dreams come true. Then they work harder to put a smile on our face. And then they go the extra mile to make sure this smile stays there.

Anything to put a smile on OUR face. That's all they actually live for.

BUT...
Then we grow up...

We start having our own lives. Our own demands. Our vision. Our own plans and desires. We grow up and feel the need to shape our own lives... naturally!

We make plans for our careers, plans for our education, plans for traveling, plans with friends, plans with our partners and plans for our future kids...

The question is... When we make plans for our lives do we take into consideration where our parents stand in them?

Do we stop and ask ourselves where do our parents stand in the middle of all that?

Do we place them as a priority in our new plans like they've always treated us as their top and only priority?

Do we realize that as we grow up we become responsible for them and they count on us as their first and sole dependents in life?

Do we consider what they want? Or do we expect them to continue shaping their lives around our new lifestyles?

Do we realize that we sometimes leave them behind forgetting the impact it would have on them. That we sometimes lose focus. That we might make them feel less important over time.

Personally I don't think they mind... they still would do whatever makes us happy. From their perspective, I'm sure they're saying, "whatever makes them happy." They never expected anything in return in first place.

That doesn't mean we abuse it.

I don't claim I know what the future holds for me and where they would fit into the picture.

But I know I'll try my best to make them happy always and forever.

I'll make sure they never feel like they're not my number one priority. I'll never make them feel forgotten. I'll never make them feel less important.

I'll do anything...

Anything to put a smile on THEIR face.
