# Old Memories – Fresh Pen | Series 5

Many times you think about the past and feel now it is time to move on. But do we really move ahead? I don't feel so. You always compare your present with your past. That is how you come to a conclusion; are you happy now or were you happy then? Today,  my fresh pen is drooling through those old memories where my relationship with my mom had just taken its shape.

# From the core

Every mother-child relationship is unique. And I was no different from that, in fact, I was a little more glued to her. As if I had not been delivered out fully; some part had been left inside my mom.

- I and mom had always been early birds. So we used to get up early in the morning when she helped me out with my studies. **That time was just for the two of us and I simply liked that privacy.**
- Every evening I waited for her to return from work and help me with my homework. I knew almost everything regarding my studies but somewhere my heart said"** mummy karayengi"**
- During winters I felt tense when it was dark and mom was not home. **My damp eyes rested at the front door asking myself " when will she return and I will hug her tightly."**
- I hated going to school. I used to wait for the bell to ring so that the school will be off for the day. And on other days, I would nag my teacher asking her the closing time. **I daily prayed for one of the parents to pick me up from school early.**

# Lessons learnt later in life

- **Somewhere in my mind, the hatred for school stayed** and maybe that's why I never liked the later years of my school. Only the three years of my college were the golden years when I actually grew up.
- While growing you don't depart from a relationship but **the experiences in life teach you to detach yourself.**
- Kids may not like going to school but I as a mother today, **just wait for Mondays when kids will be back to school.** There is so much to write when kids are not around.
- **The bond of love and dependency is not there because two people live together. It enhances and beautifies with time and maturity.** Today, I understand my mom much better and respect her sacrifices made for us.

***Memories are old but the pen is fresh***
