Sometimes, when I am just thinking about dinner, about how to squeeze my way out of making it and yet having no desire to eat or order out, it arrives! To my doorstep. Nope. To my room...nope! To my bed, served in a plate, freshly cooked, piping hot and delicious to boot!
How?
I recently moved to a new place. Happens to be my Aunt's - my mother's sister. She lives on the floor below and makes sure I am always well fed and well looked after. And it doesn't stop at that!
When everyone and their neighbors tell me I am getting fatter by the second,
she's always worried that I am losing weight.
Even on a bad hair day, she thinks I look good!
I can't ever do no wrong in her opinion!
Every joke I say is funny,
and every move I make is perfect!
It goes way back to the time I was a toddler,
back when she wasn't a mother yet.
She's loved me as one of her own girls since then
and none of that love has diminished ever.
She still remembers the color of my frock,
the words to the nursery rhymes she'd taught me,
the way I walked, the way I talked,
and she never tires of recounting my stories even now...
even now when I myself am an aunt of two!
Now that I am an aunt too,
I realize what she feels for me.
An aunt like her,
I can only aspire to be.
I bet she never lost her temper when I threw things around as a kid,
like I do with my nephew.
I bet she never tired of cradling me,
putting me to sleep when I would wake up at nights,
seeking her arms.
I bet she pined to be with me,
as much as I pine to be with Nouman.
They say your mother's sister
is the next best thing to your mother.
I can vouch for it for it is so true!
And truly blessed I am for my mother has three sisters!
I know a lot of people,
I can stand very few,
fewer still I like!
and have more digits on my limbs than the people I truly love!
Rarely do I acknowledge that,
so here it is, because I haven't ever told you...
I always have and will love you!
Sometimes, when I walk alone, I know I am not alone...for I know her blessings are always walking with me, just like my blessings shall always walk with Nouman, through and through! Aameen!
People don't love you coz you are special, you are special coz some people love you, unconditionally!
