Letter to my dear Mother


My dear Mother, Kunzang Pelden


My dear Mom,
The words that I have in my heart are inexpressible in paper. Even then, the time and situation has compelled to outcast my words to pay homage for your great deeds for last more than two decades. Since, the day I was born in the family, gave you tremendous and terrific pressures. You struggled and suffered for me. My childhood life was calmly nurtured and helped me, to grow well like other kids around. I personally thank you, my loving mother for invaluable and priceless love and care that rendered as a mother.

After few years, I was sent to school, to learn contemporary teaching from the teachers. You have admitted me in school, prepared lunch for me every day, dropped me to the school, washed my clothes and, etc. Mother, you have continuously encouraged me and shared intellectual knowledge viz. Driglam Namzha (Etiquettes), courtesies, decorum, modesty, and many more, which in return enhanced my knowledge, other than school or bookish knowledge. Due to your support, help and assistance, I am proudly standing on my foot now, in terms of knowledge that gained and learned from my beloved teachers. I am the product of you, and it is only fitting that your great deeds are humbly thanked, and which will not erase from my heart.

Mother, you made me alert of how much important our life is. Being a kid, I was given extra care for numerous years. You made me understand the real meaning of the life. You made me well honored and ideal man in the society.

Despite, being backward in terms of wealth, you, my dearly loved mother encouraged pursuing higher studies in private school. Your great helps and deeds facilitated me in extracting more knowledge from teachers and experts. Thus, I could shape my life to certain level with extended hopes and aspirations. My dreams and goals go expanded where I urge myself to go ahead with positive philosophies. The knowledge I gained from studying in schools and college, institution and others, made my life affluent and prosperous.

Without your positive philosophy, I would have not grown up with such impressive knowledge but rather I would have left in the village without having going to school for studies. Your tremendous help, being mother have valued more than whatever others endeavored. Your valuable advises and comments when I was in lower classes aided me in every step that I took to reach today. Though you are illiterate, but you knew the facts about modern education’s benefits. So, I would like to pay my heartfelt thank to you, my much loved Mom.  

My bottomed and immense thank and gratitude is always for you, my beloved Mother. You worked hard, suffered a lot to pull me up, and served with touching heart to shape my life collaborating with beloved father. Your magnificent and brilliant supports are also sculptured on my heart. Your continuous assistance and aids are unforgettable in my life, which made my life fruitful.

Your encouragements and advices proved invaluable in inspiring a novice to embark on the studies and personal life. You have also taken keen interest in assuring the necessary intellectual resource input in terms of village based culture and traditions, our etiquettes and decorum.

Therefore, I will never forget you, my dearly loved Mother. You engaged in making my life affirmative and activist. So, Thank You, Mother for everything that you deed to me.

God always bless you, my beloved Mother. Long live my beloved mother.


Yours Loving Son
