Water lily boy

 

When I had holidays I used to go to the school where my mother worked. And I visited every class with her.

When I was in grade two one day, in one class I visited, there was a boy who gives a bunch of water lilies to my mom every day.💐💐And he calls my mom as his "mom".As I remember the boy was Chalana.

So the first day I met him I was mad and argued with him saying that not to call my mom as his mom. But my mom stopped me and continued to the morning lesson. 

After school, we were on our way back to home.I was still blaming to that boy about calling my mom as his "mom".

But then my mother told me not to be mad at him.And I asked why.She told me "His mother had left him, so don't worry if he calls me mom.He is a good boy as you."

I felt sorry for him and I never argued with him again.

After 14 years, recently I went to a childrens' house(orphanage) to teach Art.There were about twenty kids. While I was teaching, one child who is seven years old, called me "mom". My heart was so touched then and I remembered the water lily boy.

Then I knew how my mom felt back then when the lily boy called her as mom.

And I am proud of my mom because she had been a lovely mother for hundreds of children within her thirty eight years of service.❤️
