A Cute Letter from a married girl to her mother

Dear mom,

Like every normal girl, I was excited about marriage right from my childhood days.I had lot many  sweet dreams framed for my partner.

I never thought beyond the time that I would spend happily with my prince here in USA.

But today after marriage, I realize that marriage is not only bed of Roses. It’s not just about being with your beloved and having a gala time.

There is so much more to it.....

It comes with its own share of responsibilities, duties, sacrifices and compromises with your hubby.

I can’t wake up anytime I want to. I am expected to be up and ready before everyone else in the family.

I can’t laze around in my pyjamas throughout the day. I am expected to be presentable every time.

I can’t just go out anytime I want to. I am expected to be sensitive to the needs of the family.

I just can’t hit the bed anytime I want to. I am expected to be active and around the family.

I can’t expect to be treated like a princess but am supposed to take care of everyone else in the family.

And then I think to myself, sometimes ‘why did I get married at all?’ I was happier with you, mom.

Sometimes I think of coming back to you and getting pampered again.

I want to come home to have my favorite food cooked by you every evening after a nice outing with friends or after I return from my college after a long train ride.

I want to sleep on your laps like I have no worry in this world.

But then I suddenly realize, had you not got married and made such sacrifices in your life, I wouldn’t have had so many wonderful memories to hang on to.

And suddenly, the purpose of all this becomes clear- to return the same comfort, peace and happiness to my new family that I got from you.

And I am sure that as time passes, I have started loving this life equally as you do. Thank you mom for all the sacrifices and compromises you made. They give me the strength to do the same. Love you.

Yours and only yours
