MULBERRY

Today my day started with my daughter's demand to eat mulberries.Wow ,I was ready to do the job I had never tried in my thirty two years of life---climbing up a big tree.Actually we have three mulberry trees in front of our home,all loaded up with fruit these days and my great daughter likes mulberries ,so we both were ready for excursion.To my surprise ,she suggested me to wear tight pants as would be easier for me to climb up and after changing when I came out ,i saw her holding a big bowl in her hands .I could very well makeout her intentions,that bowl had to be filled up...........Taking god's name I started and slowly climbing up one of the trees,throwing mulberries down and she was collecting all of them and the same time giving me instuctions which mulberry should i pick and throw .A difficult task ,it was ,listening to her ,climbing up, balancing myself and taking her instruction.But she was happy and that was my target.While getting dowm,I got hurt also but the twinkle that was there in her eyes was so pacifying and beyond description.
Now ,I was just thinking,is that parenthood?You are ready to do anything for your child.When i was on the tree ,everybody was looking at me but I had just one thing in my mind and that was my daughter's wish.Mother's give 50% contribution in bringing up their child but I try to give more than that though I know this truth very well that I could never be able to make 100%.......we both miss something
