Holistic ‘Hair’ Homeopath

Now we have Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and Lovers’ Day (Valentine). There seems to be more special days around now than there were before. Yesterday was Mothers’ Day and we read in the papers telling us how to spend our Mothers’ Day…bring them for special meals at the hotel..with 3 children you get a free meal for the mother. Buy yourself a massage chair and get one free for your mother. It seems that the main purpose of this day is for commercial activity; to get us to spend extra on this “special day”. I wonder if by doing that for Mothers’ Day our children will love us more than our mothers do theirs.

In my practice, I see a lot of old mothers ; they come hobbling up my stairs (sorry mums) complaining of knee pains; difficulty in breathing etc. They also complain of the difficulty in getting their children to send them to see me. Once, a mother whose daughter lives with her, and whose children she is minding, told me how her daughter would just honk her car to get her to open the gate of their house, and, tearfully, how difficult it was for her daughter to send her to see me for treatment.

I saw how my mother and her brothers and sisters took good care of my grandmother when she was ill. Will I be able to do the same when the time comes? I see more children putting their mothers in old folks home saying that it is for the good of the mother. I see more children sending their own children to their grandma also supposedly for the good of the mother. Haven’t our mothers done enough already? They gave their most bringing us up till full grown and yet we have to let them shoulder another responsibility, that of bringing up our own children.

I promise to myself that I would never do that to my mother, nor will I be a maid to my own children.

Dear mum..you will not be reading this because it is in a language foreign to you; also the cyber space is not the place that you would visit. You are never the one who like to travel anywhere far, because the journey will make your head spin. I however owe all my travellings and journeys to you. You sacrifice a lot for us. You even stopped working to take care of us. I will never be able to repay your sacrifices; the only thing I can do is to pray that Allah will reward you. I will try my best to be a son that will be of help to you in this world as well as in the Hereafter. Thank you Mum. I love you from the bottom of my heart.
