Real Life Superheroes



As a child, we grew up with the fantasies of becoming a superhero and more than that, we have chosen a character to idolize for their amazing powers. Not too long, we’ve got into the Avenger’s craze.

But as we grow up, have we realized that there are genuine superheroes that are making our lives more comfortable as of now? Do not look far; she’s your mom.

Remember the first time, you stumbled off the road and got some bruises? Who was the first to give a hug and rescue you from the pain you were faced? It was that Supermom who whispered some words into your ear saying: “Stop crying, mom is here.”

She made you into an energetic superhero in the making as she prepares you a sumptuous breakfast before going to a holistic battle at school. When you felt like quitting school, she had the strongest words of encouragement in order to lift you up from your disappointments. 

Supermoms would leave their problems behind and prioritize their child’s concerns. Her selflessness is immeasurable at all times. Her unselfish act began when she carried her child for nine long months which were filled with discomfort and sacrifice. As children, the first reason we should thank about our mother was the act of almost losing her life upon childbirth.  

Mothers always share the pains, joys, failures and successes of their children. But as children, have we made a step further to make our Supermoms happy? Even once, have we asked of their problems?

It is not only on Mother’s Day that we should honor our very energetic, powerful and beautiful moms. Let’s make it a habit to thank them once in a while even for little favors they do for us.

At times when we mumble and ask why a mother acts so overprotective over her child, just keep in mind how great a sacrifice she made just to make you see the light of day.

Love for our mothers can be easily expressed through words but it could be more profound and touching when we do it through actions. Happy Mother’s Day to all Supermoms!
