Ah, total package,
These and many more were the hypes my mother would serve me every single time. Sometimes I'd feel shy especially with the male folks listening on this but trust me I loved all the compliments and it sure made me feel good. I recall once we went shopping together, I saw this tiger skin colored leggings. I loved it and tried it on to see if it would fit. On stepping out of the changing room, my mom screamed such that even I was scared.
Is this my own?....
All this package I gave birth to?.....
She started her usual hypings, almost everyone was starring at me but strangely I wasn't shy, I just kept blushing, smiling and dancing as she began to chat in the native language still pouring praises on her favorite daughter.
My mother was my treasured jewel, she was all I had and called family. I don't know my father and no one ever showed claiming me but my mom told me my dad abandoned her in the dry wilderness immediately she broke the news of her pregnancy. Since then she and her family bore the entire responsibility of taking care of me until now and I appreciate the fact that she didn't abort me as most young girls would've.
I take pride in my mother, her confidence, her strength and I hold her in great esteem. I recall how she would take atleast 3 jobs at the time to ensure I could afford all my bills at med school. It's my convocation today and I dedicate my certificate to my darling pride and world.
I love you mom, I screamed while hugging her.

Thank you for going through my post.
