Mother's Day Anecdote
An anecdote I made for Mother's day.
It was a cold stormy night and a boy was in his warm bed. Besides the Booming of the thunder outside and the constant tapping of the rain it was silent. He looked at the Clock: 1:30am.
-"Damn" He thought, "It is really late I must go sleep"
He closes his eyes, relaxes his body, and falls into a deep sleep. While he is asleep, he has a dream. This dream was not a normal dream. This dream was different. He could almost sense the difference. He felt different; not in control. He looked up, and saw a woman. One he has seen every day of his lifetime. He saw his mother. She looked the same but there was something different. There was a pained and stressful look on her face. Her limbs looked tired. Her face showed sickness. The boy was very worried for his mother and insisted that she laid down on the ground and rest.
-"Mommy" Said the boy "What happened? Are you okay"
-"I... have been better," Replied his Mother.
The boy was shocked from the sound that emitted from his mother's voice. It was not the usual lively voice but a raspy dry voice that came out.
Suddenly his mother disappeared and in front of him lay a hooded figure. It spoke in a loud thunderous voice:
-"Fifteen years your mother has cared for you. Fifteen years your mother had supported you. Fifteen years your mother gave you happiness. Fifteen years your mother has taught you.
Fifteen years you have asked without thanks. Fifteen years you have argued without remorse. Fifteen years you have taken and never gave. What kind of child are you!"
The boy found himself screaming and falling at the same time and suddenly. He woke up. He found his mother in bed reading her book. She was smiling, she looked healthy and her composure was normal. The boy came up to her, gave her a hug and in a crying voice said:
-"Happy Mother's day. I love you"
