There was a time when I thought my mom was the biggest problem in my life.
She would always keep asking—
Did you eat?
Where are you going?
Why are you wasting time?
Every time she spoke, I got irritated. I would shout, give rude replies, and sometimes not even look at her face.
It became a daily thing—me getting angry, and her staying quiet.
But one day… everything changed.
This is my emotional story. A story of a son and mother, of realization, and of how I learned to respect my mother before it was too late.
It reminded me of this inspiring story of an old man I once read, where just one conversation changed someone’s entire way of thinking
A Visit That Changed My Thinking
One evening, I went to my friend Saurabh’s house. His room was a mess. Kitchen was full of smoke. He was trying to make dal but had burnt the rice.
I laughed and said, Bhai, what’s this? Kitchen looks like you fought a war!
He smiled with sad eyes and said softly,
Since my mom passed away last year, I’ve been doing everything alone. Cooking, cleaning, everything. No one to wake me up, no one to ask me how I’m doing.
That moment hit me hard. I had no words. I could see the pain in his eyes.
His life had become a sad story.
It reminded me of this powerful real-life inspirational story in Hindi I read earlier, where struggle and pain turn into life-changing lessons.
He continued, I miss her every day. I used to fight with her too… but now I would give anything to hear her shout at me one more time.
My Own Realization
That night, I couldn’t sleep. My mind kept going back to my friend’s words.
I thought of my own mother’s love. How she always made sure I had hot food. How she folded my clothes, packed my lunch, and reminded me to carry an umbrella when it rained.
I remembered her face, her tired hands, and her eyes full of care.
And I remembered how I hurt her with my careless words.
Suddenly, my own life started to feel like an emotional story.
Not because I lost someone, but because I almost forgot the value of someone who was still with me.
Running Home
Next morning, I woke up early and went straight to the kitchen. She was there, making breakfast as usual, her back towards me.
I went and hugged her from behind.
She got shocked and asked, Kya hua? Are you okay?
With tears in my eyes, I said,
Maa, I’m really sorry. I’ve been such an idiot. I never understood your love. I always got angry for no reason. But now I know… I was wrong.
She wiped her hands and smiled at me. Pagal, maa kab gussa rakhti hai apne bachche se?
That smile—that one moment—it felt like the ending of a film, but it was real.
That was my true apology to mom. No drama, no big speech—just real words from the heart.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t just a sad story, it’s a lesson.
If your mom is still with you, stop ignoring her. Stop shouting. Start listening.
Show love. Say thank you. Say sorry.
Because no matter how much we fight, no one in this world will love us like our mother.
This small blog is my way of sharing an emotional story that taught me the value of family and the unbreakable bond between a son and mother.
Let this be your reminder to respect your mother every day—before life teaches you the hard way.
