A MOM's Tear..means a LOT...

9 Years Back her elder son leaves home in pursuit of a new Life. At that time she encouraged her son to do so, though he had the opportunity to cling to her arms, because she wanted him to be a worthy nut. Over the years he struggled, he excelled and still continuing his innings doing exciting things. In this 9 years he visited her 18 times and every time he bid adieu he could sense a Bit of apprehension in her face with a small tear rolling down her cheek, As always mothers are always worried about their children. Since it was a regular scene over the years she got used to it, One of the reasons could be there is still somebody with her whom she can share her moments of happiness/joy/sorrow for she never visited her parents/relatives. But this time when this younger one also flew, away from her "Nest"; She couldn't stop her tears flowing.Those tears might have meant a lot..not just a means of showing the parting but the moments of frisky fights, the moments of jubilation's and many more. Both of them have to deal with things in their own space. In this age of technology they might be connected through a mobile/phone but what about the mere physical presence? Probably she might look at her face every morning and start her day off now she has to only visualize. If she felt something went wrong she would want to vent the frustration on her..now she might have to vent on herself, she might need an helping hand in her chores now she has do it all alone herself. Those tears meant all these things which will be missing in her life from this day. Its not just the missing part..but the what's and whys of missing part which makes the emotions to flow in the form of tears. There might be lot more things associated with those tears but droplet that fell from her eyes had a lot of mixed emotions associated. And probably that's the beauty of parting from dear ones - On one side you are happy that you are venturing into exploring something new but on the flip side you are making somebody cry. But Isn't it the law of the universe that you have to part at some point of time? Though we Knowledgeable Human Beings are well versed with the laws but when it comes to emotions, attachments we would definitely don't want to come out of this sphere. But Isn't it wonderful there are so many things attached with those droplets when her child moves out of her den? True those tears from My Mom meant a lot when her daughter moved away from her and every time i say Good Bye to her... In retrospect i was the same when I left my School/teachers/friends....
