May be I Couldn’t Be A Good Daughter

February 8, 2022 by Moni 50 Comments

Dahlia: Aunt Mona, mummy says that you hate mother’s day, why so?

Mona looked at her for some time and then patted Dahlia’s cheek and replied, “Maybe because I couldn’t be a good daughter”.

“But ma says that your mummy daddy was very much proud of you since you were a baby like me”.

“Maybe they were, who knows”, Mona replied as she wore her specs.

Dahlia stared at her blankly for some time, she was just a 6-year-old baby to understand Mona’s words.

Suddenly, Dahlia stood up and hugged her, “I will always love you Mona Aunty”.

Mona smiled and hugged her back as a tear dropped from her right eye.

    No matter how excellently we take care of our parents we will still have this thought, good post.

    Just what needed!! A love, a care and concern. Kids know how to deal with things better even thought they really don’t understand the situation or the feeling we are going through. But just a simple hug would do wonders

    Is this a story prompt? It conveys a lot in these few words. The emotions of being sidelined by the parents. More power to your pen.

    We don’t realise the hurt and baggage of our elders, do we? Hope that Mona can find peace one day.

    At one point of time we do feel have we done enough? Its important that we do not take any relationship for granted , when we do we feel guilty through out our lives.

    It’s what every conscientious child feels – no matter how much you give back to your parents, it’s always little compared to what they’ve done for you. But that doesn’t mean you’re not a good son/daughter. I loved your piece – quick and impactful.

    It is so beautiful! This conversation is so simple yet impactful. I feel every daughter at some stage feels that she has not been a good daughter but her parents are always proud of her. At that moment we all need a sweet little hug from Dahlia.

    It takes a while to understand what our parents mean to us but it’s too late by that time and certain things then haunt us for a lifetime. Completely get you.

    Beautiful piece. Loved it. A child needs verbal affirmation and motivation. Or it is just plain guessing and guilt trips.

    Such an impactful story told in few lines. Indeed kids innocence can melt any heart. The way they deal with any situation is so simple, a hug and a kiss and all is sorted.
