Mom I know you might not have felt my heartbeat when I first opened my eyes
I know you might not have seen me walking on my own feet for the first time.
I know you might not have seen me smile for the first time.
But MOM,
Trust me you were the first one to touch my soul and merge it with yours
You were the first one to introduce me to the outer world and make me realize that my world can only be created by me and the people in it would also be of my choice.
You were the first to introduce me to adolescence and help me embrace it gracefully.
You help me embrace the reality with courtesy.
You did so many more firsts for a child who is not even your blood.
But you built our relationship on the foundation of trust, faith, hope and belief and connected us with our hearts and soul.
Even though you did not carry me in your womb for nine months you always carried me in your heart and put me before everyone.
For me you fought with your own blood, For my brighter future.
Mom , I still remember The day when I asked you, in the orphanage where you used to visit to help orphans like me lead a hopeful life,  that whether I can address you as my mother since I had none at that time.
The next Morning I heard you screaming at the Owner of the orphanage . And MOM trust me a six year old back then crept into ocean of embarrassment that I had offended you by asking that one genuine question.
The next day when you visited the orphanage You had the smile I swear on the god that I so wished that I was the reason behind it, when I realised that I was, trust me my happiness had no boundaries.
You came to me and innocently asked me " Anna would you like to come with your MOTHER ? "
I was perplexed until realisation hit me gracefully.
On being asked that why you were scolding the owner you told that they were not allowing you to go further with the legal procedures which followed you adopting me.
The twenty five years with you were the best twenty five years in my thirty one years of existence.
Caressing your grave, I realize how much I miss you, your presence and the whole you..... MOM
