Hello my dear friends ,
Hope all of you are enjoying your life with positive and graceful attitude .
24 Years back when i was expecting my first child and according to our tradition for the delivery went to stay with my Mother my heart was bundle of nervousness ,anxiety .happiness and fear and i think for being mom first time these were normal feelings.
When in 7th august 1993 in Christine hospital taxila after surgery i came into my senses and lady doc asked me that for which she should congratulate me girl or boy .I answered her quickly "girl"
She said okay then congratulation you are a mother of boy now !
1994 ,in our previous house ,on his first birthday!
I smiled to her but inside i was sad because i wanted a daughter as i saw for years my mom suffering with rudeness and bad behavior of my elder brother.
She used to cry for his miserable attitude with which he made his own and our life terrible for quite a time . It is just me and my sister who loved and cared for our mother .We often argue to sit nearer to her and press her shoulders and legs to comfort her .
Islamabad park on his 3rd birthday!
But God tested me with my biggest wish a "daughter " who could be my strength and friend as i was away from my home land and needed a loyal partner for my loneliness .
When i took my little baby boy in my arms and hugged him tight all my
fears and desires disappeared like bubble of water suddenly and i felt a deep
serenity of being MOTHER!!!
on his 8th birthday with my mom and his father
In coming years devoted myself to my son .Each minute each moment i stayed close to him ..Even while working on house chores i kept him bound to me all the time .
When he started walking and talking we felt most happiest couple on earth!
When he was tow and half i started to teach him various small things ,names and alphabets .
He was fast learner and amazingly mature more than his age .
When he got scholarship in Fast University karachi ,17th year old
For ten years he got only his parents as best friends because he was not allowed
to go out with friends as in our city environment did not seem safe suitable to let
him out all by himself . Though in school his friendship developed fairly with
few of his classmates ,they are still best friends though everyone is stuck in studies and jobs .
My eldest son while his teens could not enjoy life as my both younger boys
can do now because meanwhile we started to buy and build our own separate
house which was really expensive process .
19th birthday with uni friends during trip to the picnic point
Remembrance of that day still makes my eyes teary when my eldest son had to
leave his school which was best in the city but fee was very high .we inevitably put
him in another school because needed to decrease the expenditures for house building purpose .
with university fellows in campus ,almost 5 years back
That day we both cried me and my son with tears and hubby without tears. But
my dearest Lord turn this test into a great pleasant surprise when because if my son would have not that school and study in common one he could have not get
scholarship which gave his career boost and made him earn far better than all his other fellows .
This huge snake was real and among his friends only he dared to hold it .I am still shivering.............................
Celebrating the togetherness !!!!!!!!
In his teens when our house was being built he ran with his father for all
works that were necessary .At home he helped me with dusting and moping .God made him for us kind and true friend .
Happy birthday to you my baba!!!
May you be blessed with long ,happy and healthy life full with kindness and love for your Creator and all his creations,amen.
Tomorrow is his 24th birthday ,I pray with bottom of my heart that may God
bless each child on earth with long happy and healthy life and then May he bless
my child ,children with long healthy happy lives .May he fulfill all their desires that are good and turn everything positive for them,amen.
Dear fellows will you also keep us in your prayers because God hear the prayers of pure hearts!
God Bless You My Precious Friends!
Please Take Good Care ,Stay positive and strong with smile that lasts forever!

__ Not to disregard Fathers: The importance of Mothers, in my mind, is too often overlooked; guiding the children into tomorrow, the Mother's love.
__ On August 6th, our son reached his 45th year, July 16th, our Daughter became 48. Ahhh, the Grandchildren_! _m
What a happiest father you are Magyar!!!

It is such a blessing to have children that are close in heart and person! You have raised a lovely young man, so glad you were able to not let what happened with your mother make you feel that you would have it the same way... Yes we need to pray for our children every day that they will lead the life that God has for them.
ReplyDeleteHi connie!
DeleteIt is so sweet of you to drop me such kind words my friend!
Actually when my eldest brother was 14he had to live for almost an year at our aunt's house who lived in village very far from our city .
Reason for this was that my 13 year old brother was hospitalized and under treatment for t.b from which he could not survive and died .My parents found it quite hard to attend him and look after me as i was hardly 4 and mom was expecting too.
Anyway when my eldest brother returned he was not same kid anymore .
he lost his interest in studies and in spite of all mom's efforts did not go to school and got worse in behaviors until mom died .
though we both sisters support him in his hardships as he is our blood but he is still the same .
I am so grateful to my God that my eldest son is very caring and responsible .
His younger brothers are very younger than him one is ten and other is 13 year younger than him still he loves them so much and when ever we are together they have great fun
What a beautiful tribute to your son Baiili! You write so beautifully, and I can just imagine how worried you were about having a son that would be unkind to you, but how the Lord changed that for you, and blessed you abundantly with such a precious son! How fast the years fly by, and how hard to believe when you see pictures of your children when they are little, and now grown! You have been an amazing mother, and truly have made a difference in the character of your son. With love and hugs to you, my precious friend!
ReplyDeleteHi dear Marilyn!
DeleteThank you sooo much for your such beautiful words that truly delivered my heart a deep sense of joy.
You are so right time passes do quickly and children turn into confident grownups.
Being a mom I have mixture of feelings in my heart.
I want to have remote to stop their quick growth which drives them away from nest and me .
Yet I want to see them growing finely with strong character and graceful ambitions in life.
Looking at these photos gives a strong sense of achievement and deep sense of gratitude for Lord who made it possible
happy birthday to you son! lovely post!
ReplyDeleteHi Baili - what a lovely post with some amazing photos - delightful to see. Your son is amazing and so responsible - also he seems to have the world at his feet for a career ... lots of opportunities. Is it going to be with wildlife, the environment, science? That snake horrifies me - but they are incredible creatures having adapted over millennia to be the living creature they are ... here's to many more happy years with your delightful family ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Hilary!
DeleteThe perfect word you used for my baba "responsible" he is just like his father, very responsible and considerate about people around him and what blessing that even his friends adore this quality of his
These are treasured moments with your son, Baili. He sounds like a special young man. Mothers and sons have a bonding that is hard to explain. I'm also very close with my son, and was thrilled to hear I was having a boy after having two girls! The picture of your son on the beach is wonderful. And what a beautiful picture of you and him. Happy Birthday to your beloved son, Baili.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Thank you my dearest Sheri!
DeleteYou are so right about bonding between mothers and sons and it is also true that this bonding is beyond explaining.
I so happy for you that God blessed you with what you desired my friend!
What beautiful words to read Baili. I'm so happy for you and your lovely family and a happy birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteWe too are blessed with loving children who are happy in their lives. It's a real joy isn't it :D) xx
Thank you dear Sue!
DeleteWatching children settled in their lives is most desired feeling for parents
beautiful son!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much my friend!
DeleteWhat a heartwarming post, Baili! I can feel your deep love for your oldest son and for your family. Family is everything. Things have a way of working out over the years, like when your son had to leave the best school in the city but then gets a scholarship to university. You wanted a daughter and instead you had a son whom you guided and nurtured into a wonderful adult. We have a saying, "God works in mysterious ways." He has worked in wonderfully mysterious ways in your life!
ReplyDeleteDear Louise!
DeleteYou are absolutely right about God's mysterious way of work in our life.
My whole life is filled with so many incidents when he alerted me when he miraculously saved me from big harm that could be disaster forever for me .He motivated strangly towards correct option . My each breath is like rope in which the beads of God's name are fixed .
I breath i call him to thank for what he blessed me with though I had no sense of asking for all this
You have been an amazing mother, and truly have made a difference in the character of your son. With love and hugs to you, my precious friend!
