When I was to return to Canada after my vacation, I started packing a day or two before. When my mother would see me preparing, she would start crying inside. Then when I would look at her, she would not recognize me, so she would clear her eyes. My mother could not even see me go away from her.
I think how hard it is for a mother to take her son away from her eyes, but she learns to fight her emotions for the better future of her sons. Finally, my mother also did the same and sent me to a foreign country with a stone on my heart.
Although I have come to Canada for a long time now, I have not forgotten that scene till date. The tears in his eyes do not let me stand even today. It was very difficult for me to leave my crying mother. I came to Delhi airport to talk to her on the phone, but her heavy throat gave the impression of how much she was suffering inside. I had to stop in two countries on my way to Canada. So when I landed in Qatar and called my mother, she was still crying and washing my clothes left there. She was feeling the lust of my body through my clothes. When he told me this, I also felt how a mother is suffering from the separation of her son.
I kept thinking about the love mothers have for their sons throughout my flight. This is not just my mother’s story, but the mothers of millions of foreigners are like this. Now when planes are going abroad from Punjab, I think that the mothers of the entire Punjab are suffering. On the one hand mothers are suffering in the circle of moon dollars and on the other hand lakhs of sons are yearning for the warmth of their mothers’ bosoms.
